Model 2099-2424
10 MHz, 24V Source/Inserter
1.0 General
1.1 Equipment Description
The 2099-2424 10 MHz Source/Inserter is a 10 MHz, ± 0.01 ppm oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO)
with circuitry to insert the 10 MHz signal and DC voltage on L-band lines for an LNB and SSPB. Multi-
function switches select LNB and SSPB DC Power, internal or External 10 MHz, and insertion of 10 MHz on
the L-band lines. LEDs indicate DC power (green), Reference insertion (green), alarm (red), remote operation
(yellow), and OCXO oven warm-up (yellow). An external 10 MHz reference can be selected to be inserted
directly into the L-Band lines. Option E6 also allows the internal 10 MHz source to be locked to a high stability
external 10 MHz reference. Remote control allows remote configuration of front panel commands and
monitoring LNB and SSPB voltage and current. Parameter selection and LNB and SSPB voltage and current
appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC female for RF and 10 MHz input and output signals. AC
power is 100-240 ± 10% VAC, 47-63 Hz. The chassis is 1 RU, 12” deep.

3.0 Alarm Operations
SSPB Power Supply Alarms
1. DC CONV A (SSPB V2A Monitor)
This is the +12V DC voltage from DC to DC converter A. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure
will be set if this voltage is greater than 26V or less than 23V.
2. DC CONV B (SSPB V2B Monitor)
This is the +12V DC voltage from DC to DC converter B. The summary alarm indicator and
contact closure will be set if this voltage is greater than 26V or less than 23V.
3. +24V PSA (SSPB V1A Monitor)
This is the +24V DC voltage from power supply A. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if
this voltage is greater than 26V or less than 22V. The unit's Power Supply A AC input must be detected before this
voltage is monitored for alarm purposes.
4. +24V PSB (SSPB V1B Monitor)
This is the +24V DC voltage from power supply B. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if
this voltage is greater than 26V or less than 22V. The unit's Power Supply B AC input must be detected before this
voltage is monitored for alarm purposes.
5. SSPB V Monitor
This is the DC voltage that is inserted at the SSPB RF loop through. The SSPB alarm indicator and alarm contact
closure will be set if the voltage ( +24V) is too high or too low. The unit will alarm if the voltage is greater
than 26V or less than 22V.
6. SSPB I Monitor
This is the current that is measured at the SSPB RF loop through. The SSPB alarm indicator and alarm contact
closure will be set if the current is greater than 2.7 Amps @ +24V.
LNB Power Supply Alarms
1. LNB V Monitor
This is the DC voltage that is inserted at the LNB RF loop through. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure
will be set if the voltage is greater than 26V or less than 22V.
2. LNB I Monitor
This is the current that is measured at the LNB RF loop through. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure
will be set if the current is greater than 600 milliamps.
2099-2424 Manual, Rev. C Page 18 02/12/20

10 MHz Reference Alarms
1. Internal Reference Mode
The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the internal reference is not detected by the internal
reference power detector. The external reference indicator will always be off in this mode.
2. External Pass Reference Mode
The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the external reference power is less than
-5 dBm, +/- 1 dBm. The external reference indicator will always be on in this mode.
3. External Pass Auto Reference Mode
The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the external reference power is less than
-5 dBm, +/- 1 dBm. The external reference indicator will always be on in this mode.
4. External Lock Reference Mode
The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the external reference power is less than
-5 dBm ,+/- 1 dBm. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the internal reference
cannot lock to the external reference. The external reference indicator will always be on in this mode.
5. External Lock Auto Reference Mode
The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the external reference power is less than -5 dBm,
+/- 1 dBm. The summary alarm indicator and contact closure will be set if the internal reference cannot lock to
the external reference. The external reference indicator will always be on in this mode.

4.0 Model 2099-2424 Option W65:
L-Band Inserted 10 MHz Reference Power Adjustment
Option W65 allows the user to independently adjust the power of the 10 MHz signal that is inserted on both
(LNB and SSPB) L-band loop-throughs. NOTE: The maximum 10 MHz input power is +3 dBm when
Option W65 is installed.
There are two methods available for adjusting the power of the 10 MHz signal inserted onto the L-band
Loop-throughs.
1). If the user has selected the internal 10 MHz reference as the source, the user may adjust the output
power LEVEL from -10 to +10 dBm.
2). If the user has selected the external 10 MHz reference as the source [i.e., 10 MHz from the external
reference input (J5)] then the user may adjust the GAIN from -10 to +10 dB from the input level point
to the insertion point. Eg., if the external 10 MHz reference input is +2 dBm and the GAIN is set to
+4 dB then the inserted 10 MHz reference power is +6 dBm.
If the Reference Mode is set to INTERNAL, EXT LOCK, or EXT LOCK AUTO then the front panel menu will
allow the user to adjust the inserted reference LEVEL from -10 to +10 dBm. The Remote M&C commands to
perform these settings are ” {CW} “ (Set SSPB 10 MHz Reference Insert Level) and ” {CY}” (Set LNB 10
MHz Reference Insert Level).
If the Reference Mode is set to EXT PASS or EXT PASS AUTO then the front panel menu will allow the user
to adjust the inserted reference GAIN. The Remote M&C commands to perform these settings are ” {CX} “
(Set SSPB 10 MHz Reference Insert Gain) and ” {CZ}” (Set LNB 10 MHz Reference Insert Gain).
