1. Visually inspect the MCPA for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

2. Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or ex-

traneous packing material in the connector(s).

CAUTION

Before applying power, make sure that all connectors are secure. Make sure that the

input and output are properly terminated at 50 ohms. Do not operate the system with-

out a load attached. Refer to section 1, table 1-2 for input power requirements. Exces-

sive input power may damage the equipment.

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.

 A claim should be filed with the carrier once the extent of any damage is assessed. We can-

not 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 neces-

sary.

If the equipment is damaged and must be returned to the factory:

 Please write or phone for return authorization.

 Powerwave may not accept returns without a return authorization.

2-6 Installation Instructions

Proceed with the installation of the G3L-1929-120 Amplifier as follows:

WARNING

Turn off external primary DC power before connecting DC power cables.

1. Inspect the 21WA4 male combo connector on the rear of each amplifier. Verify that all pins

are straight, no pins are recessed, and that the alignment shield is not bent.

2. Place the amplifier power On/Off switch in the “Off” position (figure 2-1).

CAUTION

Do not slam the amplifier into the subrack. Forcing the amplifier into the subrack at to

fast a rate may cause the pins on the 21-D sub connector of the amplifier to become

recessed or broken.

3. Install the amplifier(s) into their respective subrack. There are no slot priorities, so any slot

will function equally. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the amplifier(s) to the subrack.

WARNING

Check your work before applying DC voltage to the amplifier. Make certain all con-

nections are tight and correct.
