    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 1. SAFETY In addition to this section, included by reference are the following pertinent sections of the International Standard IEC-215, ‘Safety requirements for radio transmitting equipment’: Appendix D, ‘GUIDANCE ON ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE OF PERSONNEL FOR DESIGNATION AS SKILLED’ and also Sub-clause 3.1 of the Standard.
  • Page 8 The maximum permissible levels of exposure are quite low in comparison to the power levels produced by the equipment built by Advantech Wireless (e.g. less than 10 mW versus 4 to 700 W delivered by the different units). The maximum permissible levels are currently being studied by a number of organizations.
  • Page 9: General Information

    For a safe and versatile operation, please read the information carefully BEFORE using the equipment. Advantech Wireless has prepared this manual for use as a guide for the proper installation, operation and maintenance of Advantech Wireless equipment and computer programs. The drawings, specifications and information contained herein are the property of Advantech Wireless.

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 2.2.2 U ONVERTER SSEMBLY The L-Band signal arriving from a modem enters the Up-Converter Assembly through a ‘N-type’ connector, see Figure 4: Connectors (page 16). The L-Band signal (950 MHz to 1525 MHz) enters the high gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) and Medium Power Amplifier (MPA) stages that boost the RF power level sufficient for the transmission through the Up- Converter Assembly.
  • Page 11: Hpa Assembly

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 2.2.4 HPA A SSEMBLY The HPA Assembly amplifies the RF signal from the Up-Converter Assembly to a power level sufficient for transmission. Integral to this module are three HPA stages and a power conditioner board. Other functionality includes internal power conditioning and overtemperature shutdown.

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 3. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION This Section contains instructions for the site preparation, unpacking and the installation of an SSPB. 3.1 INITIAL INSPECTION Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning material is damaged, immediately contact the carrier that delivered the equipment and submit a damage report.
  • Page 20: Electrical Connections

    The centre pins of the connectors used by Advantech Wireless have a precision tolerance measured in mils (1/1000 inch). The mating connectors of the various suppliers may not be of precision types.
  • Page 21: Cooling Considerations

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 3.3.4 C OOLING ONSIDERATIONS The SSPB is forced-air cooled. The cooling fans are configured for 12 V DC operation, supplied by the main power supply of the unit. Depending on environmental conditions, the airflow opening may become obstructed by debris, reducing the efficiency of the cooling system.
  • Page 22: Interfaces

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 4. INTERFACES 4.1 SYSTEM CONTROL CONNECTOR (RS-485 RS-232) The System Control interface connector is located at port (RS232 RS485) of the SSPB. This is a 10-pin MS3112E12-10P (male) connector with pin assignments as shown in TABLE 7 below. Both RS-485 and RS-232 serial interfaces are for the serial interface communication link, allowing for the external monitoring and control of the SSPB.
  • Page 23: Redundant Interface

    SSPBMg-C400-BRE 4.2 REDUNDANT INTERFACE The Redundant Interface connections are made with a 10-pin circular connector mounted on the SSPB enclosure. The connector type is listed in TABLE 5 at page 17 and the location is shown in Figure 4 at page 16. A redundant system cable is provided with the redundancy kit that provides the interconnection between the two SSPB units and the waveguide switch in a redundant configuration.
