Section 4, Network Turnup Procedure TRACER 4205 System Manual

The supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall not be smaller in size than the ungrounded

branch-circuit supply conductors. The supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall be connected

to the product at the terminal provided, and shall be connected to ground in a manner that will retain the

ground connection when the product is unplugged from the receptacle. The connection to ground of the

supplementary equipment grounding conductor shall be in compliance with the rules for terminating

bonding jumpers at Part K or Article 250 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Termination of

the supplementary equipment grounding conductor is permitted to be made to building steel, to a metal

electrical raceway system, or to any grounded item that is permanently and reliably connected to the

electrical service equipment ground.

The supplemental grounding conductor shall be connected to the equipment using a number 8 ring terminal

and should be fastened to the grounding lug provided on the rear panel of the equipment. The ring terminal

should be installed using the appropriate crimping tool (AMP P/N 59250 T-EAD Crimping Tool or

equivalent.)

6. SUPPLYING POWER TO THE UNIT

The TRACER 4205 can operate from a supply between 21 and 63 VDC, with either polarity referenced to

ground. Power supplies should be able to provide up to 30 watts at the selected voltage. A dual pin

terminal plug accepts power at the rear panel of the unit, providing a + and - polarity reference point.

Adapters for this plug are available (P/N 1175043L2) and are furnished with the unit and optional power

supply (P/N 1280650L1).

7. MOUNTING OPTIONS

Install the TRACER 4205 in a location that requires minimal antenna feedline length (the loss in this cable

directly affects overall system performance). The TRACER 4205 is designed to be mounted in a rack. If

multiple units are installed in one location, one half inch of spacing is recommended above and below the

unit.

8. CONNECTING THE DS3 INTERFACE

The physical DS3 interface is provided using a pair of 75 Ω BNC connectors for transmit and receive.

Using standard coaxial cable, connect the

DS3 OUT interface of the TRACER 4205 to the receive data

interface of the DS3 equipment. Connect the DS3 IN interface of the TRACER 4205 to the transmit data

interface of the DS3 equipment.

The supplemental equipment grounding terminal is located on the rear panel of the

TRACER 4205.
