2.3.2 BDLC
PD
assembly Power
The BDLC
PD
assembly uses a standard 120
VAC power cord. Plug this cord to the rear
power outlet shown in Figure 6.
To check or install a fuse:
1. Open the slide-out fuse drawer located be-
low the power connector.
2. Use a fine bladed screwdriver or a knife
blade and gently pry open.
3. Hold the fuse support in one hand and with
the other, lift the center plastic retainer until
it releases the fuse sliding base.
4. Replace or install a 250V, 2A fuse.
5. To complete the procedure, push the sliding
fuse base until it snaps under the retainer.
6. Re-insert the fuse drawer in its housing and
push until it is fully seated and closed.
When ready to apply power, use the ON-OFF
toggle power switch adjacent to the power con-
nector.

2.4 Antenna
2.4.1 Overview
Paragon
PD
commonly uses three antennas (one
transmit and two receive) unless a duplexer is
used with one of the receive antennas; then only
two antennas would be needed. They should be
mounted according to any guidelines supplied
with the antennas. For antennas placement and
spacing, consult System Engineering.
2.4.2 Cabling and Connection
1- Route good quality 50-ohm double-shielded
coaxial cable(s) (e.g. RG-214 or Heliax)
from the selected antenna position(s) to the
Paragon
PD
Radio assembly.
2- Terminate the RX-1 and RX-2 cable ends at
the Receiver modules rear position with an
N-type connector.
3- Similarly, terminate the TX cable end at the
Power Amp’s module rear position with an
N-type connector.
Caution:
When terminating RF cables
use brand-name crimping tools
(such as AMP, Jensen, Crimp-
Master, etc…) of the correct
size for the cable and type of
connector used.
Common pliers are NOT ac-
ceptable.
2.5 Completing the physical
Installation.
Paragon
PD
products are factory-configured to
user’s requirements and are shipped ready to
run.
After new installations:
• Re-check that all connections are secure on
radio and BDLC
PD
assemblies (antennas,
PC, power cords etc.)
• Check that fuses are inserted.
• Turn both BDLC
PD
and radio power ON.
You are now ready to check for normal opera-
tion and to run the Radio Installation Software
(RIS) program for testing or trouble-shooting.
Any change(s) to the settings must be done via
files saved on diskette and loaded into the unit
using the RIS program.
