Installing the redundancy system
Mounting the redundancy controller
The redundancy controller has two mounting flanges. Each
flange has 10 mounting holes. If you are going to use the
mounting kit supplied, fitting instructions are provided in the
kit.
Mount the redundancy controller upright on or near the
antenna structure. A protected position is preferable however,
the redundancy controller can withstand exposure to outdoor
conditions.
Installing separate transmit and receive RF waveguide
switches
Transmit RF waveguide switch
To install the transmit RF waveguide switch (BUC switch):
1 Connect ports 1 and 3 of the transmit RF waveguide
switch to the BUC outputs using the waveguide sections
and flange kits as shown in the mounting drawings.
WARNING
Handle the switches with care. They are easily
damaged.
NOTE
In C-Band installations, use the appropriate
flange kit.
NOTE
In Ku-Band installations, ensure the
appropriate o-ring is used, otherwise
sealing will be compromised or correct
mating of the waveguide flanges will not
be possible.
