Alternate Redundant System Configurations
Mixing Compact Outdoor SSPA with other manufacturer Amplifier
Configuring redundant systems with other manufacturers amplifiers can be achieved by using
an external controller such as the Teledyne Paradise Datacom RCP2-1100. The external
controller is required because the internal controller in the Compact Outdoor Amplifier is
specifically designed to operate with other Compact Outdoor SSPAs.
The RCP2-1100 controller will control the 1:1 redundant system provided that the other
manufacturer’s amplifier is equipped with a form A or form C summary alarm relay contact.
Such a configuration is shown in the schematic below. The RCP2-1100 is a 1RU remote
controller capable of driving a waveguide switch that is located several hundred feet from the
controller.
