SCA 9350-30 Installation and Service Manual

044-xxxxx Rev. x 2-1 December 2001

Section 2 Installation

2-1 Introduction

This section contains installation recommendations, unpacking, inspection, and installation in-

structions for the SCA 9350-30 single channel cellular amplifier. Carefully read all material in this

section prior to equipment unpacking or installation. Also read and review the operating proce-

dures in Section 3 prior to installing the equipment. It is important that the licensee perform these

tasks correctly and in good faith. If applicable, carefully read the Federal Communications Com-

mission (FCC) rules to determine how they apply to your installation. DON'T TAKE CHANCES

WITH YOUR LICENSE.

2-2 Electrical Service Recommendations

Powerwave Technologies recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression

be provided on the primary AC input to the -48 Vdc power source. All electrical service should be

installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, any applicable state or local codes, and

good engineering practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all

systems in view of the vulnerability of most transmitter sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are

recommended in the service entrance. Straight, short ground runs are recommended. The electri-

cal service must be well grounded.

The amplifier has an internal fuse, so a failure in one does not shut off the whole installation.

2-3 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, or loose screws or nuts. Inspect the front

panel for bent connector 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 IM-

MEDIATE careful inspection of the equipment and the subsequent IMMEDIATE filing of the nec-

essary 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 authoriza-

tion. Powerwave 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 PER-

FORMANCE.
