2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section contains information relating to the unpacking and inspection of the unit. Also included is
information concerning charging of the internal batteries and an explanation of the Unit Self Test routine.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT
Carefully remove the ATG 429EBP and battery charger from the packing box. Visually inspect the units
for any damage incurred during shipment. Should there be damage, save the packing box to show the
shipping company when submitting your claim. It is generally a good idea to save the packing box should
it become necessary to store or ship the unit.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 BATTERY CHARGING
The batteries were fully charged when the unit was shipped from the factory. However, if the unit has
been stored for an extended period of time, the batteries may have become discharged. Plug the charger
into an appropriate voltage outlet (U.S. as well as international voltage chargers are available). A 4 to 5
hour charge should refresh the batteries. The 429EBP may be operated while charging or with the
charger disconnected. With fully charged batteries, the unit will operate for approximately four to six
hours.
2.3.2 CONNECTION TO USER EQUIPMENT
Connect the ATG 429EBP output (TX jack) to the input of the UUT and the 429EBP input (RX jack) to the
output of the UUT using standard 1/4 inch stereo phone jacks.
2.3.3 JUMPER PLUG FABRICATION
Jumper plugs should be fabricated using 2-conductor braided shield cable. The shield should be folded
back onto the insulation and the clamp on the connector should be crimped around the shielding. Also,
once the shield is clamped, solder should be added to ensure a stable connection is made between the
clamp and wire shield. Refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2.
