2.1 Safety Instructions

Failure to observe all Warnings and Cautions may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage not covered by the warranty.

• Follow standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures when handling an Power Sensor Unit.
• Select and apply the appropriate 24V D/C voltage according to the data sheet and documentation before connecting power.
• Before you connect the L-Band Beacon Receiver to an L-Band distributor or LNC , please make sure that the unit to which you connect can handle 18V D/C voltage on its RF L-Band output. Some L-Band IF distribution equipment does not have D/C blocks included and the unit could be damaged. If you are not sure how the interfacing equipment will behave, switch off the LNC supply voltage as described in chapter 2.4 Configuring the Receiver before you connect a cable to the L-Band input of the beacon receiver.
• The L-Band Beacon Receiver can be damaged if the total RF input power is higher than +10dBm specified maximum value. Do not connect the RF input of the L-band Beacon Receiver to interfaces where the total output power is higher than the specified value of the data sheet or indicated on the Receiver.
• In case of a failure do not open the L-Band Beacon Receiver, you will loose warranty, call SatService GmbH for an RMA number.
• Observe normal safety precautions when operating, servicing, and troubleshooting this equipment.
• Take standard safety precautions with hand and/or power tools.
• When connecting the receiver's fault relay circuits, observe the maximum ratings: 120V D/C, 100mA. The fault circuits are Photo MOS semiconductor relays which will immediately damaged when connected to higher voltages than specified.
