For safety reasons, never look directly into the waveguide output.
WARNING
The RF Output connector is a waveguide interface, as shown in Figure 2-1. The type of flange
used depends on the frequency range of the unit, as described in Table 2-1.
2.2.3 Connector J3 – AC Power Mains
For safety reasons, the user must note that the pin assignments for the PS-1
and PS-2 model power connections are not the same. Product damage or
personal injury may result from not properly reviewing the information in this
WARNING
section.
For both the LPOD PS-1 and LPOD PS-2 models, the prime power input requirements are as follows:
•
90-264 VAC
•
47 to 63 Hz
•
The power supply is power factor corrected. The total power required from the prime
power supply depends on the model used. Please refer to Sect. 1.5 Summary of
Specifications.
RF Input connector J1 is a Type 'N' female connector. Labeled
"LBAND IN" on the LPOD PS-1 model and "TX IN" on the LPOD
PS-2 model, typical input levels (-30 dBm) depend on desired output
power and unit attenuation. To prevent damage to the LPOD, RF input
levels should not exceed +15 dBm.
