MODEL 2015-58T Upconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2015-58-T Upconverter converts 70 ±18 MHz to 5.845 to 6.725 GHz in 125 kHz steps with low group

delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide low phase noise and ±1.0 ppm

stability frequency selection. Push button switches select the RF frequency, gain, and other parameters. Front

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

carrier is muted (yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and RF output provide a gain range of 0 to +20

dB as adjusted by the front panel 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 and 10MHz reference input and output, and Type N female for the RF output (other

connector configurations available). The 2015-58T is powered by a 100-240 ±10% VAC power supply; and

housed in a 1.75” X 19” X 16” rack mount chassis.

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 2015-58T consists of one RF/Controller PCB which is 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 assembly. The 2015-58T can

be secured to a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.1 shows how the 2015-58T is assembled.

2.4 Installation / Operation

2.4.1 Installing and Operating the 2015-58T Upconverter

1. Connect a -30 dBm to -10 dBm, 70 MHz signal to IF IN, J4 (Figure 2.2)

2. Connect RF OUT, J5, to the external equipment.

3. Connect 100- 240 ±10% VAC, 47 - 63 Hz to AC input on the back panel.

4. Set the desired output frequency (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

5. Set the input level (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

6. Set the gain so that the output level is always within the range of -20 to 0 dBm. The firmware will

prevent setting gain and input level outside this range. (See Section 2.5 Menu Settings).

7. Be sure DS6 (green, DC Power) is on and DS2 (red, Alarm) is off (Figure 2.3).

8. AC Fuse - The fuse is a 5 mm X 20 mm, 2 amp slow blow (Type T) and is inserted in the far slot in the

drawer below the AC input as shown in Figure 2.4. There is a spare fuse in the near slot. If a fuse

continues to open, the power supply is most likely defective.
