2.5 System Start-Up
2.5.1 Safety Information and Tools
To avoid injury, installers, technicians, and maintenance personnel must follow
Spectrian's recommended procedures and observe safety precautions.
☛ Important: The MCPS2000 should be only operated by trained and qualified
personnel. Always follow safety warnings.
☛ Note: Before shipment, the MCPS2000 was inspected and found free of
mechanical and electrical defects. The electrical performance of the MCPS2000
should be verified using these procedures. If there is any deficiency, or if electrical
performance is not within specifications, notify your Spectrian representative
immediately.
☛ Warning: Persons with cardiac pacemakers should avoid exposure to RF radiating
elements.
☛ Warning: Exposing the human eye to high levels of radio-frequency radiation may
result in the formation of cataracts. Do not operate exposed circuitry or radiating
elements with personnel in close proximity to the radiating source. Always replace
covers and shields during operation.
Tools
The following tools are recommended to perform installation tasks.
• HP 436 Power meter • Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
2.5.2 Verify system installation
Before operating the MCPS2000, verify proper installation as described in the
previous section.
34. Verify that there are no obstructions to airflow in the front or rear of the
MCPS2000.
35. Ensure that the DC power supply at the site is functioning normally. DO NOT
turn on the DC supply to the MCPS2000 at this time.
36. Ensure that the MCPS2000 is physically connected to an input RF signal source
and terminated in an output load. DO NOT turn on the RF signal source at this
time.
37. If used, verify that the MCPS2000 address is set correctly.
☛ WARNING: The RF output of the MCPS2000 should be connected to a 50-ohm
load before DC power is turned on. If a dummy load is used, it must be capable of
dissipating at least 350 watt average power and 4500 watts of peak power.
After mechanical and electrical installation tasks are complete, the MCPS2000 is
ready for power-on check.
