MODEL 2015-26 Upconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2015-26 Upconverter converts 140 ± 36 MHz to 2000 to 2500 MHz in 1.0 MHz steps (0.5 MHz steps

optional) with low group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide

frequency selection. Multi-function push button switches select the RF frequency, gain, and other parameters.

Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC power (green), PLL alarm (red), Remote operation (yellow) or the

TX carrier is Muted (yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30

dB as adjusted by the front panel multi-function pushbutton switches. Remote operation allows selection of

frequency and gain. Parameter selection and frequency and gain settings appear on the LCD display.

Connectors are BNC female for IF input, external reference input, and RF output. The 2015-26 is powered by a

100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and is housed in a 1 3/4” X 19” X 16” rack mount chassis.

Command Syntax* Description

Command Status {aaS1} Returns {S1bbbbcccccddAM} where:

• bbbb = Tx frequency (MHz)

4 characters - standard (7 characters - Option-X)

• Standard 1 dB step format: ccc = Tx gain (-10 to +30)

• Z OPTION (0.1 dB steps): cccc = Tx gain (-100 to +300)

• dd = Tx input level (10 to 40 => -10 to -40)

1.4 Environmental Use Information

A.Rack-Mounting - To mount this equipment in a rack, please refer to the installation instructions

located in the user manual furnished by the manufacturer of your equipment rack.

B. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition

does not exist due to uneven weight distribution.

C.Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

the operating ambient temperature of the rack may be greater than room ambient temperature.

Therefore, consideration should be given to Tmra.

D. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Additional space between unit

may be required.

E. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on over current protection and supply wiring.

Appropriate consideration of equipment name plate rating should be used, when addressing this concern.

F. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connection to the Branch

(use of power strips).

G. Top Cover - There are no serviceable parts inside the product so, the Top Cover should not be removed.

If the Top Cover is removed the ground strap and associated screw MUST BE REINSTALLED

prior to Top Cover screw replacement. FAILURE TO DO this may cause INGRESS and/or EGRESS

emission problems.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Mechanical - The 2015-26 consists of one RF/Controller PCB housed in a 1 RU (1 3/4 inch high) by 16

inch deep chassis. A switching, ± 12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the assemblies. The 2015-

26 can be secured to a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.1 shows how the 2015-26 is

assembled.
