MODEL 2017-14 UHF, L-Band, Up/Downconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2017-14 UHF, L-band Up/Downconverter converts 0.2-0.4 GHz to 1.2-1.4 GHz (Up) and 1.2-1.4 GHz to

0.2-0.4 GHz (Down). Multi-function switches select the gain (0 to +30 dB range for the Upconverter and

Downconverter), and other parameters. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC power (green), PLL alarm

(red), remote operation (yellow), and Upconverter mute (yellow). Remote operation allows selection of gain

and external 10 MHz Reference (Option E1). Gain settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC

female for UHF and the optional external reference input and output (OPTION E1), and Type F female for

L-band. A high stability (±0.01 ppm Option H) option is also available. It is powered by a 100-240 ±10% VAC

power supply and housed in a 1.75” X 19” X 16” 1RU 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 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 2017-14 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 2017-14 can be secured to

a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.0 shows how the 2017-14 is assembled.
