To properly install the LL-SLE-HMS-*/*, the deeper housing cover (SLE-LID/SM is required. The ICS provides a means of isolating sources of ingress from a centralized location. Using a downstream command through the LIFELINE status-monitoring system, you can attenuate the return path through the line extender by 6 dB or by 38 dB. - Page 20 6 dB or cutoff of 38 dB typical.

This is caused by factors such as walkout errors, worst-case data utilization during design, and temperature variation from 70°F. Perform a bench alignment.

Page 35: Powering And Surge Protection
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, remove 60/90 volt AC power from the system before you remove any components from the housing. The SLE*-* is shipped from the factory configured for 38 through 90 VAC powering as described in Section 2, “Overview.” SLE*-* Installation and Operation Manual PRELIMINARY - Motorola Internal Use Only... -
Page 36: Bench Testing
Section 4 Bench Testing Motorola’s recommended procedure for placing a new SLE*-* into service is to fully test it on the bench before it is field installed. There are specific alignment procedures that ensure proper functioning of all components and simplify final installation. If the SLE*-* is properly aligned on the bench only minor adjustments may be required in the field. -
Page 37: Test Equipment And Connections
The equipment typically used for testing the SLE*-* consists of a network analyzer such as the HP 8712 or 8713 series, a 60/90 VAC bench power supply, a cable simulator, a Motorola model SSP-PIN power combiner, and a variety of jumper cables, adapters, and fittings. - Page 38 The result is the peak-to-valley (P-V) flatness. Some improvement is possible by adjusting the flatness controls on the LDR/*/III board as described in Section 3, “Amplifier Setup,” Flatness Control. Figure 3-3 illustrates the location of these controls on the LDR/*/III board. PRELIMINARY - Motorola Internal Use Only SLE*-* Installation and Operation Manual...
