3-4.4 Connection of the Optional Combiner Assembly
The combiner assembly kit is intended to enable a single antenna to serve two TRXs in one of the following
configurations:
• Transmitter signals from two power amplifiers may be combined to drive a single antenna.
• The receive band from a single antenna may be split to serve two separate base stations at differ-
ent locations.
• Antenna ports Ant1 and Ant2 on the BTS RF distribution card may be combined to use a single
antenna in both receive and transmit mode to serve two different TRXs operating on different
channels.
The combiner kit may be either factory installed or installed in the field. If the combiner kit is factory installed, proceed
with the instructions in this chapter. If the combiner kit must be installed in the field, refer to the instructions outlined
in Appendix 1, then return to this chapter, starting at section 3-4.5 "Connection of the Power Supply"
3-4.5 Connection of the Power Supply
For AC operation
Step 1
Make sure that the circuit breaker located at the bottom of the power supply module is in the 0 (OFF)
position.
Step 2
Route the power cable through the feedthrough on the antenna bracket to the power supply module.
Step 3
Plug in the power cable (No. 128 3-conductor AWG cable with IEC 320 up angle connector) into the
power module.
Step 4
Plug the power cable into the electrical mains.
This option is not available for a TurboWAVE - a high powered BTS.
