4.4 PREPARATION
To prepare for the start of testing, it is important that all test equipment be powered up
now and allowed to thermally stabilize. Begin by powering up the Communications Test
Set HP 8920.
Record the specifics of each of the system components.
Before testing the complete system, verify that the system is cabled correctly. The tower-
mounted receive amplifier will not power up until it senses that the indoor control panel
has been connected via the RF feed cable and the multi-conductor control cable. The
initial sections of this procedure describe how to check for correct installation,
particularly those areas that were disturbed as part of the shipping process.
4.5 RECORDING TEST RESULTS
The main body of this document provides space for the recording of all test results and
equipment configuration parameters. These must be supplemented where indicated by
equipment configuration hardcopy printouts taken for each RF channel being tested.
