SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrical shocks due to faulty mains driven power supplies.
Whilst ever potentially present in any electrical equipment, such a condition would be
minimised by quality installation practice and thorough testing at:
a) Original assembly.
b) Commissioning.
c) Regular intervals, thereafter.
All test equipment to be in good working order prior to its use. High current power supplies
can be dangerous because of the possibility of substantial arcing. Always switch off during
disconnection and reconnection.
1.2
RF Radiation Hazard
“CAUTION: This equipment is approved for antennas mounted on fixed outdoor
permanent structures. A minimum separation distance of 2 metres must be maintained
between the radiating elements and any nearby persons. A maximum antenna gain of 21
dBi may be used. Operating this equipment without regard to these restrictions will result in
RF exposure levels above the limits allowed by FCC rules.”
This equipment complies with part 90 of the FCC rules. Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory)
regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is
capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if
used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas
with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the
RF power is on, is strongly recommended.
RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to
AFL’s equipment, must be considered a safety hazard.
This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a ‘spare’
output has been left unterminated. Either of these conditions would impair the system’s
efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been
removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the
impedance of an N type connector at 50Ω, and that of free space at 377Ω, which would
severely mitigate against the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could
also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!
Where the equipment is used near power lines, or in association with temporary masts not
having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is
strongly advised.

1.3
Chemical Hazard
Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox™, is sometimes used
in devices within equipment produced by Aerial Facilities Ltd. Beryllium oxide dust can be
toxic if inhaled, leading to chronic respiratory problems. It is harmless if ingested or by
contact.
Products that contain beryllium are load terminations (dummy loads) and some power
amplifiers. These products can be identified by a yellow and black “skull and crossbones”
danger symbol (shown above). They are marked as hazardous in line with international
regulations, but pose no threat under normal circumstances. Only if a component containing
beryllium oxide has suffered catastrophic failure, or exploded, will there be any danger of the
formation of dust. Any dust that has been created will be contained within the equipment
module as long as the module remains sealed. For this reason, any module carrying the
yellow and black danger sign should not be opened. If the equipment is suspected of failure,
or is at the end of its life-cycle, it must be returned to Aerial Facilities Ltd for disposal.
To return such equipment, please contact the Quality Department, who will give you a
Returned Materials Authorisation (RMA) number. Please quote this number on the packing
documents, and on all correspondence relating to the shipment.
PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, (P.T.F.E.) and P.T.F.E. Composite Materials
Many modules/components in AFL equipment contain P.T.F.E. as part of the RF insulation
barrier.
This material should never be heated to the point where smoke or fumes are evolved. Any
person feeling drowsy after coming into contact with P.T.F.E. especially dust or fumes
should seek medical attention.

Laser safety
General good working practices adapted from EN60825-2: 1994
“Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved optical device at the fibre ends or
connector faces or point them at other people.”
“Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids.”
“Any single or multiple fibre end or ends found not to be terminated (for example, matched,
spliced) shall be individually or collectively covered when not being worked on. They shall
not be readily visible and sharp ends shall not be exposed.”
“When using test cords, the optical power source shall be the last connected and the first
disconnected.”
“Use only approved methods for cleaning and preparing optical fibres and optical
connectors.”
Always keep optical connectors covered to avoid physical damage
Do not allow any dirt/foreign material ingress on the optical connector bulkheads.
The optical fibre jumper cable maximum bend radius is 3cm, any smaller radii may result in
optical cable breakage or excessive transmission losses.
Caution: Do not get them wet, the FO units are NOT weather proof.

OVERVIEW/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AFL Off air Amplifiers for the Pasadena Blue line project are 2 way on-band RF
amplifiers. Their application is as an interface between the donor radio sites and the Fibre
optic receivers and transmitters which will extend coverage to the locations via the fibre optic
link. There are two units one designated for the ‘UHF1’ frequencies the other for the ‘UHF2’
frequencies.
Each unit is housed in an environmentally protected IP65 steel wall-mount case. Handles are
provided for carrying the unit and the door is fitted with locks. The unit interfaces with ‘N’
type female connectors for RF connections and heavy duty connectors for routing of AC
power supply input and alarm output wiring. Cable glands are provided for routing of the
Fibre optic cable in to the unit.
To provide adequate selectivity in the Downlink and Uplink paths, combline design bandpass
quadplexers and duplexers are used at the air interface ports. In addition each channel to be
passed is selected by a 15kHz or 25KHz Channel module which provides a high level of
rejection at adjacent channels. To provide the required gain to reach the required signal
levels, low-noise amplifiers (LNA’s) are used in each path, these being followed by power
amplifier modules in the uplink to provide the required intermodulation performance. Gain
adjustment is available locally using switched attenuators.
Note that “Downlink” refers to the RF path from the base station (donor site) to the FO
transmitter and that “Uplink” refers to the RF path from the FO receiver to the remote base
station.

Bandpass Duplexers (02-013401)
Description
The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the
passband frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is
basically Chebyshev with a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of combline
design, and are carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss,
VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated
to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50Ω load at the input
and output ports. Note that the same filter is used for both UHF 1 & 2, but tuned differently
depending on the required frequencies and bandwidth for each air interface.
Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life
and require no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to
replace the module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning.
No adjustments should be attempted without full network sweep analysis facilities to
monitor both insertion loss and VSWR simultaneously.

2 & 4 Way UHF Splitters (05-002603 & 05-003401)
Description
The Splitter/Combiners used are UHF (300-500MHz) devices for accurately matching two
or more RF signals to single or multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to
all inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum.
Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50Ω load.

5.1.3
¼Watt 0- -30dB Switched Attenuator (10-000701)
5.1.3.1
General Application
In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be
excessive. Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in
each path, to reduce the gain.
5.1.3.2
Switched Attenuators
The AFL switched attenuators are available in two different types; 0 – 30dB in 2 dB steps
(as in this case), or 0 – 15dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuation is simply set using the four
miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the
attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched
in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50Ω impedance over their operating
5.1.4
Low Noise Amplifiers (11-006102, 11-007302 & 11-007402)
5.1.4.1
General Description
The low noise amplifiers used are double or single stage solid-state low-noise amplifiers.
Class A circuitry is used in the units to ensure excellent linearity over a very wide
dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long troublefree working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event
of failure then the entire amplifier should be replaced. Note that all three amplifiers use
similar DC power circuit boards.

5Watt Power Amplifier (12-001801)
5.1.5.1
Description
The power amplifier fitted to this unit is a multi-stage, solid state class A power
amplifier. All the semi-conductor devices are very conservatively rated to ensure low
device junction temperatures and a long, trouble free working lifetime.
The power amplifier should require no maintenance over its operating life. Under no
circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is
certain that the amplifier has failed; since it is critically aligned during manufacture and
any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment.

3 Stage Amplifier Alarm Boards (12-002201)
Description
Amplifier Alarm Boards are fitted to monitor the bias conditions of AFL Class A
amplifiers which remain constant in normal operation. Any departure from normal bias
conditions is a result of device failure, excess temperature, over-driving or oscillation
(excessive power).
In normal operation, the Class A bias circuit of the amplifier develops a constant voltage
of 1.20V across the collector current setting resistor. The Amplifier Alarm Board is a
window comparator device, which is adjusted to sense a departure from this condition.
Several different alarm outputs are provided to simplify interfacing, (Relay Contact, Open
Collector, and TTL Logic Levels)
The basic version of the Alarm Board (12-002801) monitors a single amplifier stage. A
three-stage version (12-002201) is used on complex amplifiers where three separate
comparators have their outputs logically combined to a common output stage. Failure of
any one stage will activate the alarms.
Note that the alarm board has a green Light Emitting Diode located near to the centre of
the printed circuit board, which is illuminated on ‘Good’, and extinguished on ‘Alarm’. It
is therefore a simple matter to identify an active module failure, by searching for an
Alarm Board which has its green LED extinguished. A simple test of the alarm board is
possible by shorting across the monitor inputs, pins 1 and 2, 3 and 4 or across pins 5 and
6. This last monitor input is inactive if the board has been converted to a two way alarm
board. (Refer to relevant amplifier alarm wiring diagram.)
1)
2)
3)
Volt-free change over relay contacts.
Open collector NPN transistor pulls low on alarm.
TTL driver.
The use of precision voltage sources and resistors has eliminated the need for initial
adjustment or calibration, and the board will function correctly with a wide variation in
power supply voltage (8 to 30 volts, nominal supply is 12 or 24Volts).
There are two selectable link options on the three-way board:
LINK1 - Removed to convert to two-way alarm board.
LINK2 - Removed to isolate 0V from chassis earth.
The one way alarm board only has the 0V isolation link (LINK2) fitted.

Description
The DC/DC converter fitted is an AFL assembled, high power PCB unit with an 8 amp @
12V output capability. The circuit is basically an O.E.M semiconductor regulator (one side
of which has a heatsink mounting plate, that is usually bolted to the casing of a Cell
Enhancer) and smoothing components built onto a printed circuit board with screw block
terminations.
Note: no circuit diagram of the O.E.M. regulator is available. This unit should not be
repaired, only replaced.

Channel Selective & Channel Control Modules (17-003012 & 17-002101)
Channel Selective Module Description
The channel selectivity module is employed when the Cell Enhancer requirement dictates
that very narrow bandwidths (single operating channels), must be selected from within the
operating passband. One channel selectivity module is required for each channel.
The Channel Selectivity Module is an Up/Down frequency converter that mixes the incoming
channel frequency with a synthesised local oscillator, so that it is down-converted to an
Intermediate Frequency (IF) in the upper HF range. An eight pole crystal filter in the IF
amplifier provides the required selectivity to define the operating passband of the Cell
Enhancer to a single PMR channel. The same local oscillator then converts the selected IF
signal back to the channel frequency.
Selectivity is obtained from a fixed bandwidth block filter operating at an intermediate
frequency (IF) in the low VHF range. This filter may be internal to the channel selectivity
module (Crystal or SAW filter) or an externally mounted bandpass filter, (LC or Helical
Resonator). Various IF bandwidths can therefore be accommodated. A synthesized Local
Oscillator is employed in conjunction with high performance frequency mixers, to translate
between the signal frequency and IF.
The operating frequency of each channel selectivity module is set by the programming of
channel selectivity module frequencies and is achieved digitally, via hard wired links, banks
of DIP switches, or via an onboard RS232 control module, providing the ability to remotely
set channel frequencies.
Automatic Level Control (ALC) is provided within each channel selectivity module such that
the output level is held constant for high level input signals. This feature prevents saturation
of the output mixer and of the associated amplifiers.
Alarms within the module inhibit the channel if the synthesised frequency is not locked. The
synthesiser will not usually go out of lock unless a frequency far out of band is programmed.
The channel selectivity module is extremely complex and, with the exception of channel
frequency programming within the design bandwidth, it cannot be adjusted or repaired
without extensive laboratory facilities and the necessary specialised personnel. If a fault is
suspected with any channel selectivity module it should be tested by substitution and the
complete, suspect module should then be returned to AFL for investigation.

Single & Dual 24Volt Relay Boards (20-001602 & 80-008902)
24V Relay Boards (20-001602 & 80-008902) Description
The General Purpose Dual Relay Board (20-001602) allows the inversion of signals and the
isolation of circuits. It is equipped with two dual pole change-over relays RL1 and RL2,
with completely isolated wiring, accessed via screw terminals.
Both relays are provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for suppressing the
transients caused by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or induce
spikes on neighbouring circuits. It’s common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals into
one, volts-free relay contact pair for the main alarm system.
Note that the board is available for different voltages (12 or 24V) depending on the type of
relays fitted at RL1 and RL2.
The single relay board (80-008902) is electrically identical to the dual version but is
proportionately smaller in size. It also has a single in-line IDC connector in place of the
screw terminal blocks of the dual model and performs similar summary alarm functions.

5.1.10 SMA coaxial termination (93-930003)
5.1.10.1
Description
When a combiner system is used to split or combine RF signals, in many cases it is most
cost effective to use a standard stock item 4, 6 or 8 port device where, in fact, only a 3 - 6
port device is needed. In this case the splitter/combiner module has one of its ports
terminated (both uplink & downlink) with an appropriate load in order to preserve the
correct impedance of the device over the specified frequency range. This has the advantage
of allowing future expansion capability should extra channels or other functions become
necessary. Terminations are available for every type of RF connector that may be used, N
type, 7/16th or SMA, in this case SMA.
5.1.11 24V 400W Flat-Pack Power Supply (96-300011)
5.1.11.1
Description
The power supply unit is a switched-mode type capable of supplying 24V DC at
16.0Amps continuously. Equipment of this type typically requires approximately 10.0
Amps at 24V DC, so the PSU will be used conservatively ensuring a long operational
lifetime.
No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output
voltage from the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically
set to 24.5V.
All the PSU’s used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or
220V nominal AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or
link setting is needed by the operator. No drawings of the PSU are available.

Description
The 3dB Hybrid Combiner used is a device for accurately matching two or more RF
signals to single or multiple ports, whilst maintaining an accurate 50Ω load to all
inputs/outputs and ensuring that the VSWR and insertion losses are kept to a minimum.
Any unused ports will be terminated with an appropriate 50Ω load. In UHF 2 this hybrid
is used to combine the signals from the channel selective modules (from both UHF 1 &
2) in the downlink direction for onward transmission by fibre, and similar signals for
both UHF 1 & 2 are combined before being further split into the uplink channel modules.

The power amplifiers should require no maintenance over their operating lives. Under no
circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is
certain that an amplifier has failed; since they are critically aligned during manufacture
and any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment.

5.2.14.1
Description
The power supply unit is a switched-mode type capable of supplying 24V DC at 6.25Amps
continuously. This PSU is used to provide power for the fibre optic modules which will
typically require approximately 3.0 Amps at 24V DC, so the PSU will be used
conservatively ensuring a long operational lifetime.
No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output
voltage from the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically
set to 24.5V.
All the PSU’s used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or
220V nominal AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or
link setting is needed by the operator.

5.2.16.1
Description
The F/O units consist of a receiver & transmitter, which modulates the RF signal onto a laser
carrier and transmits it via fibre/optic cable to a receiver unit some distance away where it is
demodulated back to the original RF signal with very small values of accrued attenuation.
Both transmitter and receiver modules have their own dedicated alarm outputs (volt-free
relay contacts) which are integrated into the main alarm system. Being O.E.M devices, no
drawings or circuit diagrams are available.
Caution: The FO units are NOT weather proof.

INSTALLATION
6.1
Initial Installation Record
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet
in Appendix A. This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures
be needed for future reference or diagnosis.
6.2
General
The size and weight of the wall units mean that they represent a significant health hazard
unless they are mechanically installed in the correct manner. In the interests of safety this
should be done before any electrical, RF, or optical connections are made.
It is important in determining the location of the wall units that space is allowed for access
to the front and underneath of the equipment. To enable maintenance to be carried out, the
door must be able to fully open. The location must be served with a duct to allow the entry
of cables into the unit.
6.3
Electrical Connections
The mains power supply and the alarms are connected through an IP65 connector which
should need no further attention once connected. It is recommended that the AC power
connection is approved by a qualified electrician, who must satisfy himself that the supply
will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity.
All electrical and RF connection should be completed and checked prior to power being
applied for the first time.
6.4
Optical Connections
The optical input and output ports are be located on a bracket fixed to the lower inside of the
case. The optical fibres from the tunnels enter through a cable gland on the case underside
The ports are supplied with a green plastic cover, which must be removed prior to the
connection of the fibre cable. Ensure that transmitter and receiver fibre cable are identified
to prevent misconnection. At the master site, the fibre transmitters are in the downlink path
with the receivers in the uplink. At the remote sites the fibre transmitters are in the uplink
with the receivers in the downlink. Where some of the fibre optic transmitter outputs are
split with optical couplers to provide a connection to more than one remote site, care must be
taken to ensure that the correct connections are made.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.

6.5
RF Connections
All RF connections are made to the cable termination, located on the right-hand side of the
wall enclosure. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made with
particular attention made to the base station TX/RX ports. In the event that the base
transmitter is connected to the RX output of the rack, damage to the equipment may be done
if the base station transmitter is then keyed. If the environment where the equipment is
installed is deemed to be ‘wet’ i.e. water seepage through roofs or walls, then suitable
methods to seal the RF N type connectors should be used, for example self amalgamating
sealant tape.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
6.6
Commissioning
Once all connections are made the equipment is ready for commissioning.
To commission the system the test equipment detailed in section 7.2 will be required.
Using the system diagrams and the end-to-end test specification, the equipment should be
tested to ensure correct operation. Typical RF levels that are not listed in the end-to-end
specification, such as input levels to the fibre transmitters are detailed in the whole system
diagram in section 4.
On initial power up the system alarm indicators on the door of the equipment should be
checked. A red LED illuminated indicates a fault and that particular module must be
investigated before proceeding with the commissioning. A green LED illuminates, to
indicate that the power supply is connected and valid.
The individual fibre optic units are fitted with a pair of status indicators on their front
panels. One is a green LED, which indicates that the unit is connected to a 15 Volt power
supply. This indicator is common to both transmit and receive units. The second LED on the
transmitter indicates that the laser is operating. On the receive unit the second LED indicates
that a light signal is being received.
When all the fibre connections are completed and power to each site is connected each fibre
unit should show two illuminated indicators.
In the event that any part of the system does not function correctly as expected, check all
connections to ensure that they are to the correct port, that the interconnecting cables are not
faulty and that they are tightened. The majority of commissioning difficulties arise from
problems with the interconnecting cables and connectors.

MAINTENANCE
7.1
7.1.1
General Procedures
Fault Finding
In the event that the performance of the system is suspect, a methodical and logical approach
to the problem will reveal the cause of the difficulty. The System consists of modules within
a wall mounted, environmentally protected enclosure.
Transmissions from the main base stations are passed though the system to the mobile radio
equipment; this could be a handheld walkie-talkie, mobile telephone or a transceiver in a
vehicle. This path is referred to as the downlink. The return signal path from the mobile
radio equipment to the base station is referred to as the uplink.
The first operation is to check the (optional) alarms of each of the active units and determine
that the power supplies to the equipment are connected and active.
This can be achieved remotely (via CEMS, the digital RS232 Cell Enhancer Management
System, if fitted), or locally with the front door LED’s. The green LED on the front door
should be illuminated, while the red alarm indicator should be off.
If an Alarm is on, then that individual module must be removed and tested against the
original test specification.
The individual amplifier units have a green LED showing through a hole in their piggy-back
alarm board (or directly through a hole in the amplifier lid), which is illuminated if the unit
is working correctly.
If an amplifier is suspect, check the DC power supply to the unit. If no other fault is
apparent use a spectrum analyser to measure the incoming signal level at the input and then
after reconnecting the amplifier input, measure the output level. Consult with the system
diagram and amplifier specification to determine the expected gain and compare result.
In the event that there are no alarms on and all units appear to be functioning it will be
necessary to test the system in a logical manner to confirm correct operation.

7.1.2
Downlink
Confirm that there is a signal at the expected frequency and strength from the base station. If
this is not present then the fault may lay outside the system. To confirm this, inject a
downlink frequency signal from a known source at the master site BTS input and check for
output at the remote site feeder output.
If a signal is not received at the output it will be necessary to follow the downlink path
through the system to find a point at which the signal is lost. The expected downlink output
for the given input can be found in the end-to-end test specification.
7.1.3
Uplink
Testing the uplink involves a similar procedure to the downlink except that the frequencies
used are those transmitted by the mobile equipment.
7.1.4
Fault repair
Once a faulty component has been identified, a decision must be made on the appropriate
course to carry out a repair. A competent engineer can quickly remedy typical faults such as
faulty connections or cables. The exceptions to this are cable assemblies connecting
bandpass filter assemblies that are manufactured to critical lengths to maintain a 50-ohm
system. Care should be taken when replacing cables or connectors to ensure that items are of
the correct specification. The repair of component modules such as amplifiers, tuned cavities
or bandpass filters will not usually be possible in the field, as they frequently require
specialist knowledge and test equipment to ensure correct operation. It is recommended that
items of this type are replaced with a spare unit and the faulty unit returned to AFL for
repair. If spare parts need to be ordered from AFL, be sure to quote the serial number of the
Cell Enhancer/Repeater and the serial number [and frequencies] of the module(s) to be
replaced.

Checking service
Following the repair of any part of the system it is recommended that a full end-to-end test is
carried out in accordance with the test specification and that the coverage is checked by
survey.
It is important to bear in mind that the system includes a radiating cable network and base
stations that may be faulty or may have been damaged.

7.3.1
Care of Modules
General Comments
Many of the active modules contain semiconductor devices utilising MOS technology, which
can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Correct handling of such modules is mandatory to
ensure their long-term reliability.
To prevent damage to a module, it must be withdrawn/inserted with care. The module may
have connectors on its underside, which might not be visible to the service operative.
7.3.2
Module Removal (LNA’s, general procedure):
The following general rules should be followed to remove a module:
Remove power to the unit
Remove all visible connectors (RF, DC & alarm)
Release module retaining screws.
Slowly but firmly, pull the module straight out of its position. Take care not to twist/turn
the module during withdrawal. (When the module is loose, care may be needed, as there
may be concealed connections underneath).
7.3.3
Module Replacement (general):
Carefully align the module into its location then slowly push the module directly straight
into its position, taking care not to twist/turn it during insertion.
Reconnect all connectors, RF, alarm, power etc.,(concealed connectors may have to be
connected first).
Replace retaining screws (if any).
Double-check all connections before applying power.
7.3.4
Power Amplifiers
1) Remove power to the unit. (Switch off @ mains/battery, or remove DC in connector)
2) Remove alarm wires from alarm screw terminal block or disconnect multi-way alarm
connector.
3) Carefully disconnect the RF input and output coaxial connectors (usually SMA)
If alarm board removal is not required, go to step 5.
4) There is (usually) a plate attached to the alarm board which fixes it to the amplifier,
remove its retaining screws and the alarm board can be withdrawn from the amplifier in
its entirety. On certain types of amplifier the alarm board is not mounted on a dedicated
mounting plate; in this case it will have to firstly be removed by unscrewing it from the
mounting pillars, in most cases, the pillars will not have not have to be removed before
lifting the amplifier.

5) If the amplifier to be removed has a heatsink attached, there may be several different
ways it can have been assembled. The most commonly used method, is screws through
the front of the heatsink to threaded screw holes (or nuts and bolts), into the amplifier
within the main case. If the heatsink is mounted on the rear of the main case (e.g., against
a wall in the case of wall mounted enclosures), then the fixing method for the heatsink
will be from within the case, (otherwise the enclosure would have to be removed from the
wall in order to remove the heatsink).
When the heatsink has been removed, the amplifier may be unscrewed from the main
casing by its four corner fixings and gently withdrawn.
Fitting a new power amplifier module will be the exact reverse of the above.
Note: Do not forget to apply fresh heatsink compound to the heatsink/main case
joint and also between the amplifier and the main case.
7.3.5
Low Power Amplifier Replacement
Disconnect the mains power supply and disconnect the 24V dc supply connector for the
LPA.
Disconnect the RF input and output cables from the LPA.
Disconnect the alarm connector.
Remove the alarm monitoring wires from (D type connector) pins 9 and 10.
Remove the LPA module by removing the four retaining screws, replace with a new
LPA module and secure it with the screws.
Connect the RF cables to the LPA input and output connectors. Reconnect the wires to
the alarm board connector pins 9 and 10.
Reconnect the DC supply connector and turn the mains switch on.
Note:
Tighten SMA connectors using only a dedicated SMA torque spanner. If
SMA connectors are over-tightened, irreparable damage will occur. . Do not use
adjustable pliers to loosen/tighten SMA connectors.
Also take care not to drop or knock the module as this can damage (or misalign in the
case of tuned passive modules) sensitive internal components. Always store the modules
in an environmentally friendly location
7.3.6
Module Transportation:
To maintain the operation, performance and reliability of any module it must be stored and
transported correctly. Any module not installed in a whole system must be kept in an antistatic bag or container. These bags or containers are normally identified by being pink or
black, and are often marked with an ESD label. Any module sent back to AFL for
investigation/repair must be so protected. Please contact AFL’s quality department before
returning a module.
