2 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS ■ Unpacking After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons. For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the X-BAND 50 series, see ‘Supplied accessories’ of this manual.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2 ■ Required Connections [DC POWER INPUT TERMINAL] Make sure the back up battery is correctly connected. Use a cable with following current capacity. Solder or clamp the cable plug when connecting the power cable to the backup battery to prevent voltage drops. Power cable current capacity: 25 A or more TX - RX ANT VHF or UHF TX•RX antenna required. 9 VHF RX - RX ANT VHF or UHF TX•RX antenna required.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2 ■ Power Make sure the [POWER] switch is turned OFF when connecting an AC power cable and a backup battery (emergency power supply). The X-Band 50 series can operate with an AC or DC power supply. If AC power is interrupted when operating the repeater with an AC power supply, power is automatically provided to the [BATTERY] terminals. Battery will be automatically recharged when AC power is restored.
3 Optional Unit Installation ■ Opening the repeater’s case Follow the case and cover opening procedures shown here when an optional unit is installed or adjust the internal units, etc. CAUTION: Disconnect the AC power cable and/or DC power cable from the repeater.
