ANTENNA INSTALLATION AND WHENEVER WORKING ON OR AROUND THE SYSTEM. Site Considerations The installation requirements of any particular site are the responsibility of the system operator. AnaCom offers an optional installation mounting kit, that can be used at most sites. Contact AnaCom for details. Antenna The SSPA must be attached to some form of mounting structure which is usually the antenna feed boom or the antenna support structure. -
Page 10: Sspa Mounting Considerations
3133503 SSPA Mounting Considerations The AnaSat SSPA must be mounted such that: ® 1. Sufficient support is afforded the Block Up-Converter to minimize the effects of antenna sway in strong winds. 2. Air movement is possible across the heat sink fins. Ideally, the fins should be aligned vertically, but this is not required. - Page 11 Channel SSPA Threaded 3/8 rod, SS, 12in long Tube, 7in x 0.7in dia, steel Washer, flat, 3/8 SS Washer, split, 3/8 SS Nut, 3/8 SS ANACOM INC. 150 Knowles Dr. Los Title ASSEMBLY DRAWING, SINGLE MOUNTING KIT Size Document 31626...

3133503 Figure 5 - Diagram of AC power cable Transmitter Feed If using an SSPA with an N-type connector output, connect a section of coax between the OMT transmit port and the SSPA’s transmit port. If using a SSPA with a waveguide flange output port, connect a section of waveguide between the OMT transmit port and the SSPA’s transmit output, TX OUT. -
Page 16: Final Check
3133503 Final Check Recheck all bolts and cabling. After all other connections have been made (TX RF input, TX RF output, and grounding), connect the AC power cord to an active outlet. Water Resistance Wrap The application of moisture-resistant wrap (mastic tape) to all connectors is recommended to prevent water entry and resultant water damage. -
Page 17: Operation
3133503 Operation After the AnaSat hardware is mounted and verified, the antenna must be aimed toward the ® desired satellite. Follow the antenna/mount manufacturer’s instructions, using coordinates provided by the satellite operator. Do not transmit until you have received authorization from the satellite network operation center, and a transmit power level from its engineering staff. -

A replacement fan available from AnaCom, Inc., can then be mounted on the shroud and it’s connector plugged into the receptacle on the heatsink. The shroud can then be re-attached to the heatsink using the original screws. -
Page 19: Alarm Relay Closure
3133503 Alarm Relay Closure A mechanical relay is used in the AnaSat ® SSPA for alarm indication. The red LED mounted on the SSPA is illuminated whenever a problem exists and the relay has closed. The alarm relay has normally closed contacts, so it defaults to the alarm state when power is off. The alarm relay is accessible through the 18-pin connector mounted on the SSPA chassis. -
