1 Connect the receive RF waveguide switch to the LNB
Switch Control connector using the cable supplied.
Installing the combined RF waveguide/coaxial switch
(C-Band transmit/receive systems only)
To install the combined RF waveguide/coaxial switch:
1 Fit the TRF (if used) to the receive port of the antenna
feed using the appropriate flange kit.
1 Hold waveguide port 2 of the combined RF
waveguide/coaxial switch against the antenna receive
feed. Decide which way the switch is to face.
1 Attach the LNBs to ports 1 and 3 of the RF waveguide
section of the switch using the appropriate flange kit.
1 Clamp the gaskets tightly to ensure perfect seals.
1 If the blanking plate was not factory fitted, attach it to
port 4 of the waveguide section of the switch using the
appropriate flange kit (see the mounting and
interconnection drawings).
NOTE
If connecting the Ku-Band receive RF
waveguide switch to a receive port of the
antenna feed that has clearance holes for
6-32 UNC hardware, a waveguide adaptor
kit is available.
Spare flange kits are provided with the
redundancy package. The universal
Ku-Band flange kit contains a selection of
flat gaskets and circular cross-section
gaskets (both large and small cross-
sectional diameter).
WARNING
Handle the switch with care. It is easily
damaged.
