2.4 Installation / Operation

2.4.1 Installing and Operating the 2015-24 Upconverter

1. Connect a -40 dBm to -10 dBm, 140 MHz signal to IF IN, J4 (Figure 2.2)

2. Connect the RF OUT, J5, to the external equipment.

3. Connect 100-240 ±10% VAC, 47 - 63 Hz to AC input on the back panel.

4. Set the desired output frequency (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

5. Set the input level (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

6. Set the gain for -10 to +30 dB. Make sure the output stays within -20 to 0 dBm with the gain selected

and the input level provided. The firmware will prevent setting gain and input level outside this range.

(See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

7. Be sure DS6 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.3).

8. Option V ONLY - To insert SSPB +24 VDC on the RF center pin install 2.5A fast blo fuse (included)

in F2 and check that DS7 lights yellow (Figure 2.1).

9. AC Fuse - The AC fuse is a 5 mm X 20 mm, 2 amp slow blow (Type T) and is inserted in the far slot in

the drawer below the AC input as shown in Figure 2.4. There is a spare fuse in the near slot. If a fuse

continues to open, the power supply is most likely defective.
