Unpacking and Installation Unpacking and Installation Unpacking and Inspection Inspect the inside and outside of the shipping container for signs of damage. If any shipping damage is detected, call the shipping carrier and submit a damage report. Unpacking Compare the packing list to the contents of the container to be certain that all enclosed material has been received. Save all data sheets. They will be useful during any maintenance actions.
Unpacking and Installation design. Two front mounting brackets (3 inches long) and two back mounting brackets (9 inches long) are supplied. See appendix titled Mechanical Drawings for specific mounting instructions pertaining to your amplifier. Waveguide Connection The RF output waveguide port is located on the rear panel of the amplifier. Ensure that the proper matching waveguide flange is used to connect the amplifier output to the RF load.
Unpacking and Installation section should be utilized to eliminate potential strain on the waveguide connection. 3. Insert any necessary gaskets and windows between the two flanges. Note The waveguide that is connected to the HPAs should have a good match of 1.5:1 or better for optimal performance. Waveguide connected to triband HPAs (C, X, Ku) and dual-band HPAs (C, Ku) in particular need to have this match. These HPAs do not contain isolators due to their bandwidths.
Unpacking and Installation 6. Use a sequential tightening procedure Proceed as follows: • Partially tighten one of the screws (#1). • Move the tool to the screw that is diagonally opposite to the screw tightened in step 1 (#2) and partially tighten that screw. • Move clockwise to the next screw to be tightened (#3) and partially tighten that screw. • Move to the screw diagonally opposite screw #3 and partially tighten that screw (#4).
Unpacking and Installation Air Ducting Installation The TWTA is cooled with an internal fan. Heated exhaust air should not be recirculated into the TWTA. The air intake and exhaust ports are located on the rear panel of the amplifier. A clearance of 6-8 inches is recommended to allow the heated exhaust air to clear the TWTA.
Unpacking and Installation External Interlock The External Interlock (Pin 13) must be shorted to the External Interlock Return (Pin 11) for the amplifier to operate. Removing the short causes an External Interlock fault and turns High Voltage OFF. RF Inhibit Control RF is inhibited when RF Inhibit (Pin 12) is connected to Ground (Pin 9 or optionally, pin 10). The amplifier inhibits RF by removing the bias voltage to the SSA, thereby eliminating the RF drive to the TWT.
Unpacking and Installation Table 1, Auxiliary Connector Pinouts Pin Nr. Definition Comments 1 +24 VDC Available for external use. 2 +24 VDC Current limit of 100mA. 3 (Note 1) Summary Fault 1 Normally Open. Closes when fault occurs. 4 Summary Fault 1 Normally Closed.

Unpacking and Installation The Summary Fault 2 indicator signals change state any time a summary fault occurs. The user has the choice of a normally open or normally closed circuit. Output Voltage A + 24 VDC voltage is supplied that can deliver up to 100 mA. This supply voltage is available on both Pins 1 and 2. The return for this voltage is either Pin 9 or Pin 10.
Unpacking and Installation Three Phase Units Phase orientation must be verified on initial installation. If the phase orientation is not correct the amount of air flow will be greatly reduced. Three phase units have a pressure switch that senses the TWT air flow. If the phase orientation is incorrect the HPA will shut down indicating a TWT Temperature fault. Refer to the appendix titled Specifications for nominal line voltage and prime power connections.

Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs Note Refer to the chapter titled Overview for general amplifier specifications and the appendix Specifications for specifications that are specific to your particular amplifier. Operating Configurations There are two operating configurations: LOCAL and REMOTE. In LOCAL, all operations are controlled from the TWTA Front Panel. The controls and indicators were shown and summarized at the beginning of this chapter.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs Standby Mode In this mode, there are no faults and the TWT is ready for high voltage to be applied. Heater Standby Mode The purpose of heater standby is to extend the life to the tube when the high voltage is off. The temperature of the cathode is the primary determinant of tube life. The emission of electrons from the surface of a cathode has a cooling effect on the cathode surface.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs Fault Mode This mode exists anytime a condition detrimental to the TWT is detected by the power supply fault detection circuitry. Faults are indicated on the front panel by red LEDs. Any of the following conditions trip the fault detection circuitry: Excessive Helix Current Fault—(Latched) When the power supply detects a Helix Current fault, it turns OFF high voltage and then tries to turn the high voltage ON.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD due to high voltage capacitors inside the equipment. Allow five minutes for the capacitors to completely discharge before removing lid and working in the equipment. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death to personnel. WARNUNG GEFAHR VON ELEKTRISCHEN SCHLÄGEN wegen unter Hochspannung stehender Kondensatoren innerhalb des Gerätes.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs 3. The RF drive signal is within the frequency range of the amplifier and +5 dBm or less with the HPA set for minimum gain (control fully counterclockwise). Caution Operate the amplifier within the power limit specification. Exceeding the input power limit will cause a Helix Current Fault. Failure to comply may permanently damage the TWT. Vorsicht Betreiben Sie den Verstärker im Rahmen der vorgegebenen Spannungsbegrenzung.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs 9. Turn on the RF drive signal.Slowly increase the RF drive to the TWT by rotating the Gain Control clockwise. Monitor the RF output power. Caution Do not exceed the dBm input power specification. Driving the TWT by more than 2 dBm beyond the input power required to reach the saturation point will over drive the tube. Failure to comply may cause permanent TWT damage. Vorsicht Überschreiten Sie nicht die vorgegebene dBm Eingangsspannung.
Operation, Rack and Digital HPAs 3. Press the [Enable] key and the [HV ON] key at the same time. The high voltage ON indicator should light (green). This indicates that high voltage is ON and applied to the TWT. The Standby and Htr Standby Indicators should turn OFF. 4. Select Local or Remote operation. The TWTA is on-line. Normal Turn-Off When the amplifier is going to be off for an extended period turn the High Voltage OFF. Then set the AC Power Switch to OFF (O). This will extend the life of the TWT.

Transfer of data herein by any means to a Foreign Person, whether in the U.S. or abroad, may require an export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Amplifier Communication and Protocol, Octagon ISA CPU Protocol Overview Xicom digitally controlled devices monitor their serial ports for incoming messages and respond to messages as soon as they are verified. Response time varies, typically ranging between 20 and 100 milliseconds. Although devices will respond to messages with invalid parameters, they ignore messages with invalid address bytes or check bytes.
Amplifier Communication and Protocol, Octagon ISA CPU Printable vs. Non-Printable Protocols Printable protocol facilitates teletype-style operations where users type in messages and view the responses. There are two drawbacks to this method: 1) Several responses contain bit flags (example: HPA Summary Status Query). To force the resulting byte to be printable, bit 6 is conditionally set. However, there is no guarantee that the resulting byte will not be a start or stop character.
Amplifier Communication and Protocol, Octagon ISA CPU Communication Parameters Communications can be configured as follows: Baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400, and 57600 Parity:None, Even, or Odd Data bits:7 or 8 Stop bits:1 or 2 Flow control options should be set to "none." HPAs support 8/1 or 7/2, but not 8/2, etc. • The default communication parameters are 9600 baud, N/8/1, unless otherwise requested. • Parameters are selected on rack HPAs using the front panel interface.
