LNB. BUCs are supplied with W/G outputs and an optional pole or universal boom mounting kit suitable for the Codan range of L/M/RBUCs. Contact your antenna manufacturer if you have specific installation requirements. It is recommended that BUCs are installed as close as possible to the antenna feed to minimise losses.
Ku-Band BUC systems M&C For more information on the M&C interfaces see Application Note: M&C NOTE interface diagrams of the BUC and 7586L Controller, 17-60132. For remote monitor and control of the ODU, you can use a 6570 Remote Controller, or a computer connected to the serial interface or the LAN interface (RBUCs only).
Ku-Band BUC systems DC-powered BUCs The BUCs can be DC-powered from: • an L-Band modem or an appropriate PSU via the IF cable to the IF INPUT connector on the BUC (up to 16 W) • an appropriate PSU via a separate DC power cable to the DC INPUT connector on the BUC (BUCs with external power connector only) Before applying power to the BUC, ensure that the installation complies WARNING...
Ku-Band BUC systems AC-powered BUCs AC-powered BUCs operate with an AC input voltage in the range 115 to 240 V AC. Check BUC specifications for the exact voltage range of your BUC. WARNING Voltages outside of these limits may cause damage to the BUC. If you need to make your own AC mains cable, or re-terminate the cable supplied, Table 2 lists the pin connections and describes the input functions available on the...
Where required, you must use standard shielded Codan cables for the power and control cabling to ensure safety and EMI/EMC standards are met. In installations where the cables are not supplied by Codan, all power and control cables must be assembled in accordance with drawings supplied by Codan.
Ku-Band BUC systems Sealing the connectors After the equipment has been set up and tested to your requirements, seal all connections of the BUC and antenna feed according to Application Note: Sealing N-type and MS connectors in satellite equipment installations, 17-60094 (provided in Kit, Connector Sealing (15-40202)), and Application Note: Sealing waveguide connections, 17-60128.
