SFC6400A/SFC1450A Synthesized Frequency Upconverter Installation
TM106-Rev. 1.1 2-1
Section 2 - Installation
2.0 Installation Requirements
SFC Upconverters are designed to be installed within any standard 19 inch equipment cabinet or
rack, and requires 1 Rack Unit (RU) mounting space (1.75 inches, 4.44 cm) vertically and 19 inches
(48.26 cm) of depth. Including cabling, a minimum of 20 inches (50.8cm) of rack depth is required.
The rear panel is designed to have power enter from the left and cabling enter from the center and
right when viewed from the rear of the unit. Data and control cabling can enter from either side. The
unit can be placed on a table or suitable stable surface if required.
Before initially applying power to the unit, it is a good idea to disconnect
the transmit output from the operating station equipment. This is
especially true if the current SFC Upconverter configuration settings are
unknown, where incorrect setting could disrupt existing communications
traffic.
There are no user-serviceable parts or configuration settings located inside
the SFC Upconverter Chassis. There is a potential shock hazard internally
at the power supply module. DO NOT open the SFC Chassis under any
circumstances.
The SFC Upconverter contains a Lithium Battery. DANGER OF EXPLOSION
exists if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local and national regulations.
