Section 2 Installation / Initial Turn-On
Ranger ™ Mobile Series
2.7 3 Port Patch Panel
IMPORTANT:
If no patch panel or motorized switch is to be installed in the transmitter RF out-
put line, or if the patch panel does not have status switches, then a jumper must
be placed on the External I/O board from J14-3 (RF_SW_A_STAT) to J14-1
(ground).
NOTE:
Refer to the Ranger External I/O Connections schematic 843-5560-105 for the
following connections: (S1 = Antenna position / S2 = Test Load position)
Connect one side of S1A and S2A on the patch panel to J18-1 and the other side to
J18-2 on the External I/O Board in the transmitter. See External I/O Schematic 843-
5549-141, sheet 20, for External interlock connections. This is the transmitter external
interlock input and will shut the transmitter off if the U-Link is removed during
operation. A closed contact between J18-1 and J18-2 is required for the transmitter to
operate. Jumpers must also be placed in the other 3 External Interlock positions, J18-3
to J18-4, J18-5 to J18-6 and J18-7 to J18-8 or one jumper from J18-3 to J18-8.
!
CAUTION:
ALWAYS SHUT THE TRANSMITTER OFF BEFORE REMOVING THE U-LINK
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CONTACTS.
If the RF Mute interlock connections are not going to be used (and they are
normally not used for patch panels), connect a jumper from J18-9 to J18-12.
If the patch panel has status switches then connect S1B and S2B to the RF switch
status inputs on J14 of the External I/O Board in the transmitter. This allows the
GUI to display the position of the patch panel and will cause a transmitter mute if
neither of these connections are pulled low. These connections include:
• S1B and S2B commons connect to J14-1 (ground)
• S1B (antenna position) connects to J14-3
• S2B (test load position) connects to J14-4
NOTE:
If the patch panel does not have status switches then a jumper must be placed
between J14-1 (ground) and J14-3 (RF_SW_A_STAT) on the External I/O board.
The transmitter will be muted without this connection.
