MODEL 2016-25 Downconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2016-25 Downconverter converts 2000 to 2500 MHz to 70 ± 18 MHz in 1 MHz step (0.5 MHz to 1 kHz

step options available) with low group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO)

provide 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), and PLL alarm (red). Variable

attenuators for the RF input provide a gain range of 0 to +50 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 RF, IF and the optional external reference

input and output. The -E external 10 MHz option includes a 10 MHz output connector which contains either

the internal or external 10 MHz reference signal. A -H high stability (±0.01ppm) option is also available. The

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

chassis.

1.4 Environmnetal 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 units

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 2016-25 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 2016-25 can be secured to

a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.1 shows how the 2016-25 is assembled.

+5 VDC level indication signal is 1kΩ. The relation between the change in output level and the change in DC

voltage is linear.
