INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The 41800-002 RFMOW V2 is a standard 19” rack-mountable unit which provides a common point for connecting various hardware elements, signaling protocol converters, Secure Voice Unit, satellite modem, and housing for a COMSEC device. The Unit contains signal switching and level conversion printed circuit boards, and power supply.
Upon receiving the RFMOW V2, remove it from the shipping container. Remove all packing materials from inside the RFMOW V2 KIV Carrier. Be sure to retain loose cables and the 41875 KIV adapter board that are in the Carrier. Inspect for any obvious signs of external damage due to shipping. Retain the original shipping containers in case the unit needs to be returned to the depot for repair.
The Unit accepts 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz AC power via the AC Power Connector (located on rear panel of the RFMOW V2 chassis). The panel connector is an IEC-320-C14 type. Use a right angle type plug and secure it with the Velcro cord retainer.
INSTALLING and SETTING UP THE UNIT Install the KIV-7M into the RFMOW V2 carrier assembly (see page 17 for KIV Carrier location). 1. Loosen the four thumb screws on the front panel of the Unit. Slide the KIV Carrier out of the chassis until it stops.
INSTALLING and SETTING UP THE UNIT EQUIPMENT SETUP The RFMOW V2 enclosure contains the necessary hardware to interface the ports of a Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Secure Voice Unit, KIV carrier, and satellite modem. All interface connections to external equipment are mounted on the rear panel. See the rear panel diagram on page 18 for the location of the connectors mentioned below.
V2 ports J6 and J4, respectively. 3. The Secure Voice Unit (SVU) is connected to the RFMOW V2 via J1 on the rear panel. 4. The interconnection between the Control Modem and the RFMOW V2 is made via the J2 and J5 connectors on the rear panel.
Equipment power-down • Equipment Theory of Operation and functional diagrams CONTROLS AND INDICATORS The RFMOW V2 user interface is through the front panel display, pushbuttons, and indicators. These are illustrated on page 17. EQUIPMENT POWER-UP WARNING Ensure that all power connections are properly insulated, clean, and mechanically secure to prevent personnel injury when the Unit is powered up and operated.
Voice communication occurs by connecting a Secure Telephone device (STU or STE III) to J1 on the rear panel of the RFMOW V2. DTR on COM2 must be asserted in order for the Unit to select the voice path on...
CHAPTER 4 TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING Proper grounding is an important safety feature, and must be a primary consideration in all electrical and electronic equipment installations. Ensure that all grounding connections are secure and that all grounding cables are kept out of vehicle and personnel paths. WARNING Use extreme care when working around electrical equipment to avoid the possibility of severe or fatal electrical shock.
