    1200 W • X-band 150 W to 175 W All IBUCs that are AC-powered and all Terrasat outdoor PSUI’s are furnished with a detachable AC power connector that is used to connect and disconnect power. When connecting the AC connector to the AC power source, the wiring must include a 15 A or 20 A circuit breaker.

  • Page 55: Grounding

    • Electrical Grounding Grounding of the IBUC 2, IBUC 2e, IBUC 2G, IBUC R or IBUC G and PSUI units is recommended to prevent possible damage from lightning or other induced electrical surges.

    Apply the tape to all connectors that may be exposed to moisture. Applying the Anti-Seize Lubricant Terrasat recommends applying anti-seize lubricant to screws and bolts that could be exposed to weathering or corrosive environments. The lubricant prevents galling, seizing, and corrosion during assembly and aids in future disassembly. A 5 g pouch of Permatex anti-seize lubricant is included with the installation kit for this purpose.

  • Page 67: Figure 3.8 Applying The Anti-Seize Lubricant

    Engineered to Endure To apply the anti-seize lubricant, 1. Wear appropriate person protection equipment to avoid contact with skin and eyes. This includes safety glasses, neoprene or nitrile gloves, and clothing sufficient to limit skin exposure. 2. Ensure that mating surfaces (screw holes) are clean, dry and free of dirt, debris, or loose surface rust.

    To ensure that output stage transistors achieve saturation, and thus, maximum performance, the Cyber Hardened IBUC 2, IBUC 2e, IBUC 2G, IBUC R and IBUC G allow for input overdrive. Input overdrive point allows for 6 dB overdrive at 0 dB attenuation above the expected saturation point.
  • Page 91 Engineered to Endure 1. Open Loop Operation In Open Loop Operation, input overdrive point changes based on the user input attenuation. Once the input overdrive condition occurs, every 1 dB increase of the input level causes a 1 dB increase in attenuation. If the input level exceeds -15 dBm the algorithm increases the attenuation to maximum.
