2.4 Turning on the LPOD
Never turn the unit ON without proper waveguide termination on the ‘ J2 | RF
OUT’ port. Individuals can be
exposed to dangerously high electromagnetic
levels.
The LPOD does not contain a ‘Power On/Off’ switch. It is powered ON by connecting the ‘J3 |
POWER IN’ connector to the appropriate prime power source. The Mute or Transmit status of
the SSPA will automatically come up in the last stored state (factory default = Transmit on, not
muted).
