RCK1000 Equipment Installation
Safety
Warning
During installation work, strictly observe the applicable safety
precautions and local regulations. Do not work on the antenna
system during lightning storms.
Warning
Proper grounding is essential for your safety, and for good
communication performance.
Do not touch the antenna and the RF connectors while the 1KW
amplifier and/or the exciter (RM125/RM125R or equivalent)
operates. During transmission, high RF voltages appear at the RF
connectors, the antenna cables, and on the antenna itself. These
voltages may cause severe injury or death on contact.
Make sure the antenna is not located near high-voltage lines.
All personnel must be familiar with the applicable safety
requirements before attempting to install or operate the 1KW
amplifier and/or the exciter (RM125/RM125R or equivalent). Severe
injury or death could result from failure to comply with the safety
practices.
Warning
High AC voltage, capable of causing death or injury on contact, is
present on the AC INPUT terminal strip at the rear panel of the PS
unit when the unit is connected to a power source.
Caution
The RCK1000 units are a two-person lift. Make sure that help is
available during the installation activities.
Caution
Before putting a new RCK1000 into operation, it is necessary to calibrate
the system to obtain the correct transmit power (this calibration must
also be performed after either the exciter, or the 1KW amplifier, is
replaced). Calibration instructions for the recommended exciter,
RM125/RM125R, appear in the Publication 2072-09538-00, “Radio Service
Software (RSS), User’s Guide” for RSS version V3.0 or higher.
