Quick Start Guide
 Check the connectivity of the AC Pins and also at the AC Cable to make sure that
Line or Neutral pins are NOT connected to the ground
 Connect the low power KU Band output from a low power BUC or indoor upconverter to
the labeled port. Nominal input levels are approximately +20 dBm depending on the
output power level of the unit.
 Connect the rigid waveguides to the SSPA’s RF outputs and to the waveguide switch as
indicated in the Redundancy Diagram
 Connect to the “Y” Cable supplied with the units to the “Switch “ Ports at the units and to
the control port of the waveguide switch.
 The SSPA’s output is taken from the waveguide port (RF Out). Caution should be
observed here to make sure that the antenna or a suitable termination is connected to
this port before operating the SSPA.
 Ensure there is proper clearance around the unit.
 Connect the chassis ground (GND) to a proper ground connection
 Connect AC Input power to the connector. The unit will be enabled almost immediately,
provided it is not forced into a mute state.
 Connect the M & C interface to an available COM port on your computer and/or to your
analog based monitoring and control equipment.
 Run the UPCOM TECHNOLOGIES Monitor and Control Program.
 Recommendation: if possible install the SSPA with the fans facing down in order
to avoid accumulation of debris inside the fans that may block the fans.
