Operation; Essential Operating Procedures - Advantech SSPB-K40-CSE Installation And Operating Manual

6. OPERATION

This section describes the normal operation of the SSPB. The SSPB features an integrated
Alarm/Indicate Board that accepts control input and provides SSPB status and metering. The
design of this equipment allows minimum operator intervention and maintenance.

6.1 ESSENTIAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

Perform the SSPB normal operating procedure in the following order:
1. Be sure that the 'Initial Power On and Checkout' procedures described in Section 5 at
page 26 have been performed.
2. Switch ON the main power supply.
3. Verify that no fault or alarm messages are active on the Discrete Interface.
4. Ensure that the L-Band input signal is applied to the SSPB.
5. Provide the connection between pins N and L at the discrete interface (J3) in order to un-
mute the unit.
NOTE:
In order to un-mute the unit, pins N and L of the discrete interface (J3) should be
connected together. If pins N and L are not connected together the unit will be in MUTE state.
6. Confirm that the RF output power has been set to the desired level. To check the output
power level if direct measurement is not possible, connect a separate power meter (not
supplied) to the Type 'N' output monitor port (J4), noting the calibration table in the Test
Data Sheets.
The SSPB may need a 30 minutes of warm up in order to meet all Electrical Specifications.
