TLCN4 Installation

Since the TLCN4 module doesn't require any power supply it can be housed either in an
active or a passive TPRN sub-rack.
1. Unpack the kit which includes
TLCN4
ÿ 1 TLCN4
ÿ 8 RF jumpers (SMA-m), 1 x 18 cm, 2 x 23 cm, 2 x 28 cm, 2 x 33 cm, 1 x 36 cm
2. Carefully insert the TLCN4 module into any of the TPRN sub-rack slots and tighten the 4
screws on the front corners.
3. Connect RF cables to the UL and DL ports, according to what has been planned by the
designer. Use an appropriate torque wrench to fi x each cable to their relevant ports.
4. In case some ports remain unused, remember to connect them to a 50 Ω load (not
included)
