Hardware
Each base station in a TB8100 BSS must be assigned an identity
1
. This
identity is used to identify the base station to the Service Kit and Calibration
Kit software, and to the control panel.
You set the identity of each base station with the hex switch on the front
panel of its reciter (refer to Figure 3.4 on page 33). For example, the reciters
in a dual base station system would be numbered “1” and “2”. The reciter
with the lowest hex number becomes the “control” reciter. In a single base
station system, set the hex switch on the reciter to “1”.
Note Reciters and PAs are normally numbered from left to right when
facing the front of the BSS (refer to Figure 7.1 on page 104). In
a single base station system, fit the reciter and PA into the positions
allocated for “reciter 1” and “PA 1”. These positions also corre-
spond to the layout of the controls on the control panel (refer to
Figure 3.1 on page 28).
8.3 Applying Power
1. Before turning the TB8100 BSS on:
■ check that the PMU is turned off (refer to Figure 3.6 on page 35)
■ 12V PA only: check that the battery supply lead is disconnected
(refer to “Replacing the Power Amplifier” on page 92)
■ remove the front panel (refer to “Preliminary Disassembly” on
page 88)
■ check that all looms and cables at the front and rear of the BSS are
fitted correctly (refer to “Overview of Inputs and Outputs” on
page 103)
■ check that all connectors are secure
■ refit the front panel - ensure it is fitted correctly so that the fans
will operate if needed (refer to “Final Reassembly” on page 101).
2. Apply power by turning on the PMU, or by connecting the battery
supply lead to the 12V PA.
3. Check that the BSS powers up correctly:
■ check that the cooling fans in the front panel turn on in the
correct order after power-up: the PMU fan will run first, followed
by the PA fan; each fan will run for about five seconds and then
switch off (note that the PMU fan is not fitted to a 12V PA BSS)
■ check that the power and microphone channel LEDs on the
standard control panel turn on after about five seconds, and all
other LEDs remain off (refer to “Control Panel” on page 28)
■ at this point you can also safely press the speaker and microphone
channel buttons and check that they are operating correctly.
1. This feature will be available in a future release.
