    Black DC Ground 2.3.4 Battery Power Operation – The battery chargers on the TCR-HHR-02 are only compatible with BB-2590 Li-Ion batteries. To ensure a reliable power backup is available during repeater or communications system operation, apply an external power source (AC or 24 VDC) prior to use to charge the onboard batteries.
  • Page 22 2.3.5 Battery Charger Operation – It is recommended that the batteries be charged prior to repeater or communications system operation to reduce system heat generation. Once the batteries are fully charged the battery chargers will be in standby mode and will not generate any significant amount of heat.

    Hook up a watt meter in line with the external antenna port under test (SAT, LOS or WB). b. Turn the TCR-HHR-02 and watt meter on and place the watt meter in FWD power. Setup RAD2 for 3 watts, FM at 300 MHz and the PA for the appropriate mode under test (LOS, SAT, WB) key up RAD2 and verify that the watt meter reads the power level specified in Table 3-1.

  • Page 24: Corrective Maintenance

    Turn off and disconnect the watt meter and return TCR-HHR-02 to normal configuration. If the TCR-HHR-02 power out test fails, please follow the troubleshooting guide provided in Operator’s Manual for the TCR-MBA-50 WB. If the fault is still present after following the troubleshooting procedure for no/low RF out use corrective maintenance to repair the issue.
