1.7.5 High Potential for Waveguide Arcing As with all systems which utilize high power signals within waveguide, the potential exists for an electric arc to form. To minimize this risk, Teledyne Paradise Datacom re- quires all waveguide be pressurized and dehydrated. 205356 REV T... -
Page 15: Waveguide Pressurization And Dehydration
1.8 Waveguide Pressurization and Dehydration When working with high power amplifier systems that operate into waveguide, the in- advertent creation of arcs is always a concern. An arc in waveguide is the air discharge breakdown due to the ionization of the air molecules by electrons. This breakdown in waveguide occurs when the rate of electron production becomes greater than the loss of electrons to diffusion to the surrounding walls. -

2.1.1.3 Front Panel Display The front panel 40x2 character display allows the user to get detailed information about state of the HPA and provides easy customization of operation through an interactive menu structure. 2.1.1.4 Navigation Keys The Up, Down, Left, Right and Enter keys on the right side of the front panel allow the user to navigate through the menu selections displayed on the front panel display. -
Page 21: Removable Power Supply Modules
2.1.1.11 Removable Power Supply Modules For units not using the external power supply, and depending on the power level of the HPA, either one or two removable power supply modules are housed in the chassis. Each module is a 1200W power supply, which has a single phase universal AC input ranging from 90-265 VAC, 47-63 Hz and is power factor corrected to 0.99. -
Page 22: Dc Input With N+1 External Power Supply (J10) (Option)
2.1.2.2 DC Input with N+1 Redundant External Power Supply (J10) (Option) The combination of a separate +12 VDC output, fully redundant power supply is an excellent means of obtaining the ultimate system reliability. The power supply is an N+1 redundant configuration, meaning that a failure of a single power supply module will not take the amplifier off the air. -
Page 23: Figure 2-4: Terminal Block
The AC connections on the shelf are made via rear accessed compression style terminal blocks. See Figure 2-4. Connect the first line/hot to L1, the second line or neutral to L2/N and the AC ground to GND. These terminal blocks will accept up to a maximum of 10 AWG wire, and should be torqued to 6 in-lbs. -
Page 24: R3 Input Port (J1) [Type N (F)]
The power supply alarms may be monitored via the SSPA Chassis front panel menu. See Section 2.2.1.2. In the event that one or more power supply modules enter a fault condition, the SSPA Chassis will report a major (Summary) fault and will mute until the fault conditions are cleared. -

2.2.4.5.3 High RF When this menu item is selected, an alarm is triggered when the RF output power rises above a threshold value, which is adjustable by the operator (see Section 2.2.4.5.5). This function is available in units with firmware version 6.14 and above. The operator may set the fault handling to trigger either a Major Fault (Fault), Major Fault with Mute, or Minor Fault (Alarm). -
Page 51: Set Level
The ALC has the ability to accurately control the RF output power over a 15 dB range from P . The ALC will operate over a 20 dB range, but the accuracy of the last 5 dB will suffer.

Page 59: N+1 Operational Basics (Single Unit)
2.3 N+1 Operational Basics (Single Unit) A single SSPA unit may be operated in N+1 mode in order to take advantage of the Auto Gain Control features described in Section 2.2.6.6.3. In this case, each SSPA module within the SSPA chassis is counted as a separate N+1 entity. For example, a two-module 5RU chassis acts like a two-way N+1 array. -
Page 60: Controlling System Operation
If the Master Module develops any kind of major fault condition, it delegates its Master privileges to the unit which is next in N+1 ranking and becomes a slave unit. This type of control architecture eliminates a single point of failure and achieves true N+1 system redundancy. -
Page 61: N+1 Addressing
2.4.3 N+1 Addressing During initial system installation, an appropriate N+1 address has to be selected for each unit in the system. Each unit should be assigned a unique N+1 address. The val- id addressing range is 1 to 16 for any type of system configuration. Address 0 is re- served for factory debugging and should not be used. -

3.Gain Control and press the Enter key. Select either Auto Gain On or Auto Gain Off. When this option is activated, the SSPA will automatically reserve 5 dB of attenuator range for future gain compensation. This will reduce the maximum SSPA gain by 5 dB.

Additional fault reporting is available via the front panel display readout. -
Page 66: Current Fault
• The operator should check the booster board voltages on the front panel display. This reading can be found under the system information portion of the main menu on the front panel. The voltage should read approxi- mately 28 VDC for each of the fans in the SSPA. If the booster voltage is lower than 25 VDC, the operator should check for a power supply fault and follow the procedures to handle this problem. -

Page 68: Modular Sspa Architecture
3.1 Modular SSPA Architecture The Teledyne Paradise Datacom SSPA Chassis consists of a modular design, which allows for quick and easy maintenance and replacement in the event of a catastrophic failure of one of the SSPA components. 3.1.1 Removable Fans (Intake and Exhaust) The intake and exhaust fan assemblies can be easily replaced with minimal interrup- tion of service. -
Page 69: Fan And Heatsink Maintenance
The exhaust fans on the rear panel are each secured by (4) captive thumb screws. To remove, loosen the screws and carefully remove the fan assembly from the chassis. Unplug the fan power cord from the connector. See Figures 3-4 and 3-5. 3.1.1.1 Fan and Heatsink Maintenance It is recommended that the cooling system of the SSPA be checked at least once per month. -

Page 74: Web Upgrade Procedure
The web upgrade is the preferred method of upgrading the HPA firmware. Upgrading unit with incompatible firmware image may damage the equipment hard- ware. To ensure the proper firmware image file is used, contact Teledyne Paradise Datacom technical support. Write down your current firmware version. You may want also request image file of the current firmware in case it becomes necessary to revert back to the original. -

Page 79: Section 4: Operation Of A 1:1 Redundant System
4.0 Introduction This chapter describes how to configure and control a 1:1 redundant system which consists of two Teledyne Paradise Datacom SSPAs and a waveguide/coaxial switch. Two Rack Mount SSPA units can be connected in a 1:1 redundant configuration, which can automatically switch to an operating amplifier if the on-line SSPA develops a system fault. -
Page 80: Hardware
4.1 Hardware Two Teledyne Paradise Datacom Rack Mount SSPA units are used for a 1:1 redundant configuration. The units are connected to each other through a link cable, which allows the exchange of online/standby statuses between SSPAs. -
Page 81: Power Supply
4.1.1 Power Supply Each SSPA may contain up to two 1200W, 12V power supplies, which supply power to a waveguide switch via the Switch Port (J3) of the SSPA. The state of the power supplies (referred to as “Boost1” and “Boost2”) can be monitored from the front panel display and through remote serial protocol. -

The main concern is the transient magnetic fields which surrounds the wires and the magnetic fields generated externally by the other transmission lines in the cable, other network cables, electric motors, fluorescent lights, telephone and electric lines, light- ning, etc. This is known as noise. Magnetic fields induce their own pulses in a trans- mission line, which may literally bury the Ethernet pulses. -
