2-4 Unpacking And Inspection
This equipment has been operated, tested and calibrated at the factory. Only in the event of se-
vere shocks or other mistreatment should any substantial readjustment be required. Carefully
open the container(s) and remove the amplifier module(s). Retain all packing material that can
be reassembled in the event that the unit must be returned to the factory.
CAUTION
Exercise care in handling equipment during inspection to prevent damage caused by
rough or careless handling.
Visually inspect the amplifier module for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extrane-
ous packing material in the connector or fans. Inspect the rear panel connector for bent connec-
tor pins. If the equipment is damaged, a claim should be filed with the carrier once the extent of
any damage is assessed. We cannot stress too strongly the importance of IMMEDIATE careful
inspection of the equipment and the subsequent IMMEDIATE filing of the necessary claims
against the carrier if necessary. If possible, inspect the equipment in the presence of the delivery
person. If the equipment is damaged, the carrier is your first area of recourse. If the equipment
is damaged and must be returned to the factory, write or phone for a return authorization. Pow-
erwave may not accept returns without a return authorization. Claims for loss or damage may
not be withheld from any payment to Powerwave, nor may any payment due be withheld pending
the outcome thereof. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE FREIGHT CARRIER'S PERFORM-
ANCE.
2-5 Installation Instructions (refer to figures 1-1 and 2-1)
The G3S-800-140-031 amplifier module is designed for installation in a subrack for connection of
DC power, RF, and monitor cables.
To install the amplifier proceed as follows:
1. Install the subrack in an equipment rack and secure in place, based on the installation in-
structions from the appropriate manual for the subrack being installed.
2. Connect the subrack RF output to a high quality transmit filter. Powerwave recommends that
a 500W average power / 10KW instantaneous peak power rated filter be used in most appli-
cations.
3. Connect the combined transceiver output(s) to the RF Input port of subrack.
4. Connect the alarm cable(s) to the alarm port of subrack.
