1. SAFETY In addition to this section, included by reference are the following pertinent sections of the International Standard IEC-215, ‘Safety requirements for radio transmitting equipment’: Appendix D, ‘GUIDANCE ON ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE OF PERSONNEL FOR DESIGNATION AS SKILLED’ and also Sub-clause 3.1 of the Standard. Appendix E, ‘GUIDANCE ON SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY PERSONNEL WORKING ON RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT’, also Sub-clauses 3.2, 3.7 and 22.1 of the Standard. - Page 8 ----------------------------------------------- WARNING --------------------------------------------------- When supplying power to this equipment, use the 3-pin connector provided, to connect to a grounded power outlet. If power is supplied without grounding to the equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock. In the context of this document any voltage that is lethal is viewed as ‘High Voltage’.
- Page 9 The permissible levels of exposure are quite low compared to the power levels of the amplifiers built by Advantech Wireless (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 20 to 500 W delivered by various units). The permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations. In the past the U.S.

MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS 4.1 INTRODUCTION This manual contains information required to install and operate the Redundant Ready 150 W Ku- Band Hub-mount (Outdoor) Solid State Block Up-Converter model SSPBMg-K150-BRE. 4.2 DESCRIPTION The Solid State Power Block Up-Converter unit is self-contained and is intended for mounting near the hub of the antenna.. -
Page 13: L-Band To Ku-Band Up-Converter Module
4.3.1 L-B AND TO ONVERTER ODULE The L/Ku-Band Up-Converter Module converts and amplifies the incoming L-Band carrier into the desired Ku-Band carrier. The module has an internal synthesizer, which is fixed at 2175 MHz (virtual 13050 MHz). The up-converter module has RS-485 communication port that connects to the main controller board. -
Page 14: Waveguide Assembly
4.3.3 W AVEGUIDE SSEMBLY The Waveguide Assembly contains a forward and reflected power detector, an RF output circulator and a waveguide receive reject filter. The forward power detector and the reflected power detector monitor the RF output power level and the reflected power level respectively. The detected voltage signals are delivered to the Power Monitor Module that converts the analog signals in digital signals and delivers them to the Main Controller Board. -
Page 15: Power Supply
4.3.5.1 FAULT Detection and Indication The unit will automatically go into a shutdown mode (MUTE) and send a message to all of the external interfaces (including the red Tx LED) when any one of the following occurs: 1. The local oscillator within an up-converter module is out of lock. 2. -
Page 16: Cooling System
The Power Supply Module provides also +24 VDC output to the Power Amplifier Module (for GaN devices) The power supply also provides the following outputs: • - 9 V DC • + 48 V DC for the cooling fan The separate +48 VDC is necessary to operate the cooling fan. This will be a variable, temperature dependent, voltage that will ensure a variable rotation speed of the cooling fan related to the temperature (the fan will rotate slower when the temperature is low and faster when the temperature is high). -
