Albalá Ingenieros | Manual SPL3005C01
1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. The SPL3005C01
The SPL3005C01 is a dual, one input to five output splitter that divides a 10MHz input
signal among five outputs. It has been designed for distribution of 10MHz reference
signals used by the GPS3000 or GPS3002 modules from Albalá Ingenieros. This device is
completely passive, has a characteristic impedance of 50Ω and provides excellent
isolation between its five outputs.
The SPL3005C01 can be installed in the UR3100 1 RU mounting frame or the UR3000 3
RU mounting frame and occupies one slot. Unlike other members of the TL3000 family,
the SPL3005C01 only has a rear board and no main board, and therefor the front of the
slot that it occupies should be covered by a blank panel.
The SPL3005C01 is a TL3000 terminal line module and can be housed in a three rack unit
(3 RU) UR3000 mounting frame or a 1 RU UR3100 mounting frame.
1.2. Features
• Dual 5-way signal splitter
• Completely passive.
• Excellent isolation between outputs.
• Designed for use with 10MHz reference signals.
• 50Ω characteristic impedance.
• One UR3000 mounting frame can house up to 12 SPL3005C01 modules
• One UR3100 mounting frame can house up to three SPL3005C01 modules.

3. INSTALLATION
THE SPL3005C01 MODULE CONTAINS ELECTRONIC DEVICES SENSITIVE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. Always use antistatic bags clearly identified
with a high degree of shielding for storage and transportation.
The SPL3005C01 is comprised of a sole PCB: the rear board, SPL3005P01. This board
should be installed in a UR3000 or UR3100 mounting frame following the instructions
found in the the corresponding section of that portion of this manual.
3.1. Initial inspection
Check and make sure that the package has been handled properly during transport.
Once the packaging has been opened, verify that the rear board, SPL3005P01 is inside.
You must notify your Albalá Ingenieros distributor or dealer of any damage or defects
observed.
Follow the instructions in this manual to install this module in the mounting frame.
3.2. Safety instructions
•All modules of the Albalá Ingenieros TL3000 terminal line can be
hot-plugged or unplugged without suffering any damage or affecting the
processes that are currently taking place in other modules in the same
mounting frame. When a module is installed in an empty bay of a mounting
frame, it is necessary to mount the rear board that is part of that module.
Prior to installing this board, the mounting frame must be disconnected
from the power supply network. This is required because in addition to the
risk of electrocution for the person handling the device it is possible that a
high instantaneous current coming from the power supply could damage
the connectors and components of the mounting frame and/or the rear
board.
•The SPL3005C01 module and the mounting frame should always be
installed, maintained, operated and removed by personnel with sufficient
technical qualifications. The equipment should never be placed in damp
areas, near splashing liquid, or in explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
Neither modules nor mounting frames can be used in applications that
could endanger human life.

3.3. Environmental considerations
This symbol indicates that this equipment must be deposited at a collection
point for proper waste treatment once it has reached the end of its useful
life.
3.4. Power considerations
The UR3000 and UR3100 mounting frames can house as many SPL3005C01 modules as
will fit in them.
3.5. Installing the module in the mounting frame
The steps needed to install the SPL3005C01 module with the rear board in the mounting
frame are:
1 - Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies of the mounting frame.
2 - Next, undo the blank panel that covers the rear of the slot in the mounting frame
where the SPL3005C01 will be installed.
3 - Verify that the board is oriented correctly by checking the direction of the text printed
on it against the following illustration.

4 - Attach the rear board to the mounting frame with two M3 metric screws and tighten.
After these steps, the module is ready to be connected to other equipment.

3.6. Interconnection
The following figure shows the SPL3005C01 module rear board connector layout.
Rear view of the SPL3005C01
The SPL3005C01 module provides two inputs (IN-A and IN-B) and five outputs per
section (OUT1-A to OUT5-A and OUT1-B to OUT5-B) for 10MHz reference signals.
Connections for 10MHz signals should be made with coaxial cabling with a 50Ω
characteristic impedance.
The rear interconnection board is not designed to withstand mechanical stress. The
wiring must be fastened properly to the frame where the mounting frame is housed to
prevent the rear board from supporting the weight of the cables.
