YDI AMP2440 Installation And Operation Manual
                 | |
The amplifier can be mast mounted using the steel U-bolt included with the unit. Refer to thedrawing at the end of the manual for a cabling diagram. In outdoor applications, the amplifiermust be installed with the connectors facing downward. Use an open-end wrench tocarefully tighten the bolts using the included nuts. Take care not to over-tighten the bolts.Alternately, the amplifier can be mounted to a flat surface using any of the mounting holes onthe brackets mounting flanges. However, for maximum reliability the connectors should befacing downward.It is very important to waterproof the RF connectors on the amp. However, it is recommendedthat you do not tape the connectors until after all system tests have been performed. Be sureto use a high quality weather resistant electrical tape and/or other water sealant method.Silicon sealants are not recommended since they are hard to work with, do not ensure a 100%waterproofing of the connectors and difficult to remove if ever necessary.The picture to the left shows the amplifier in typicalinstallation shown with the YDI Model PT2421 GridDish antenna vertically polarized. The location on themast where the amplifier is mounted is not important:provided that the connectors face downward. (Notethat when this picture was taken, the connectorswere not taped yet nor was the cable secured tothe mast.) Also, there is not need to plug or fill anyof the holes on the back of the amplifier enclosure.The housing is designed such that these holes do notpenetrate the inside of the waterproof seal eventhough an initial inspection might make you thinkotherwise.If the tower or mast is adequately grounded and theU-bolt makes good electrical connection to it, thenthere is no need to provide additional grounding to theamplifier enclosure.The DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from theweather. It can be permanently mounted to a surface using the mounting flanges. If it is notmounted to a well-grounded metal plate or bulkhead, then a separate ground strap will need toconnect to the grounding stud on the Injector.Page 4This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for anuncontrolled environment when installed as directed. This equipment should beinstalled and operated with fix-mounted antennas that are installed such that themain lobe(s) of these antennas will have a minimum of 2 meters of separationdistance between the antenna and all persons’ body during normal operation.Safety NoticeRefer to the Typical Installation Detail drawing at the end of this manual for more informationabout the installation.ec |
