2.Safety
2.1. Basic Safety Instructions
Chapter 1 "General" of this manual contains "Basic Safety Instructions" that apply to all products produced
and supplied by L2 Microwave. The BPA10T30W100 broadband amplifier system and its ancillary equipment
must only be operated by qualified technicians.
Compliance with all legal provisions is a prerequisite for operating the broadband amplifier. The operator or
agent authorized by the operator is responsible for complying with these instructions. And training for
authorized representatives must meet local requirements.
2.2. Product-specific Safety Instructions
2.2.1. Safety Instruction for Amplifier System and Equipment
•Only trained personnel can perform electrical installation and connection tasks.
•When installing an operating area and installing or operating electrical equipment, always comply with the
relevant national and international safety rules and regulations.
•When installing an amplifier rack, it is important to comply with national special accident prevention.
2.2.2. Hazards from Supply Voltage
Risk of fatal injury from electrical voltage
•When working with voltages that constitute a shock hazard, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent
exposure to danger.
2.2.3. Power Supply
Risk of property damage
Operation without protection against overloads and short circuits can lead to damage to the instrument, fire,
or arcing.
•Before connecting the power supply, it is important to ensure that the system or the power supply
specifications applied to the equipment comply with the general specifications of the local power supply
network.
•The power supply device must be protected at all times through a fuse or an earth leakage power breaker to
prevent overload and short circuit.
•If the equipment is permanently connected to the power supply without a power plug, install a device that
will power off the power supply circuit at all poles.

2.2.4. High energy electrical circuits
Electrical circuits carrying high amounts of energy pose a risk of injury.
This equipment has a low voltage circuit that can be supplied from an extremely low impedance voltage
source (e.g. amplifier operating voltage). These circuits carry dangerously high levels of energy.
These electrical circuits are considered circuits with hazardous contact voltages. Therefore, the user should
always be careful about electrical contacts.
2.2.5. Hazards from high-frequency currents
Burn hazard from arcing
All of the power-conducting RF plug connectors and RF modules require attention to contact current. Arcing
may occur if high-frequency cables are plugged in or unplugged while the amplifier is in operation. This can
cause burns and eye injuries. At open high-frequency interfaces with active gain there is a burn hazard in the
high-frequency range and risk of electric shock in the low-frequency range.
•Operate the amplifier system after firmly fixing the antenna or load.
•Never disconnect the high frequency cable while the amplifier system is in operation.
•Never open the amplifier system while it is in operation.
•Never operate the amplifier system if the RF cables are exposed.
2.2.6. Hazards from RF Radiation
Risk of injury from high-frequency electromagnetic radiation
High frequency electromagnetic radiation during operation of the broadband amplifier can be generated in
the beam portion of the antenna with a specific absorption rate that is higher than the human exposure limits.
Prolonged exposure may cause eye damage and metabolic disorders.
Operate the amplifier system only in such a way that the beam area of the antenna is located in a shielded,
access-restricted room or area.
2.2.7. Occupational safety from RF shielding
The BPA10T30W100 broadband amplifier system is shielded from all RF cables, shielding covers and case
components to ensure that they are not exposed to RF radiation even if they are close together for extended
periods of time. This industrial safety clause is based on Korean legislation.
2.2.8. Flue gases
Severe health damage may be caused by flue gas formation.
In general, any flue gases produced by burning of casing parts, cables, insulation materials, batteries, etc.
can result in serious harm to a person's health.

•Use personal protective equipment in the event of smoke formation. Use breathing protection in the danger
zone that is independent of the ambient air.
2.2.9. Rules for amplifier services
Do not operate the amplifier system (equipment) unless the case is closed.
Risks when reconnecting the power supply
Do not reconnect the power supply until the amplifier is fully installed. Failure to observe this may result in
electric shock or RF radiation.
•Ensure that all case components are securely installed.
•Ensure that all cables and grounding lines are properly connected.
2.3. Operator (Personnel/User)
Risk of injury from insufficient qualification of personnel
All work (operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, etc.) should be performed only by qualified
personnel. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or property damage.
2.4. Safety Devices
2.4.1. Protective Covers
Risk of injury due to removed protective covers
This symbol indicates a protective cover for electrical circuits at risk due to large amounts of energy,
RF current or supply voltage. The protective cover prevents unintentional contact with these electrical circuits.
•Pay attention to the cover marked with this symbol.
•Do not remove the protective cover with this symbol.
•Any work that requires accessing the inside of the system may be carried out by the manufacturer's service
personnel only.
2.4.2. Instructions for Protection against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Risk of damage to electronic components
To avoid damage to electronic components, all work on the equipment and components must be performed
in a location protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The following items can be used individually or in
combination to protect against electrostatic discharge.
•Protective armband with grounding cable
•Wearing antistatic shoes and antistatic clothes

3.Installation
This chapter describes the installation of the BPA10T30W100 broadband amplifier and the requirements for
the peripheral infrastructure.
3.1. Installation Position Selection
RF Radiation
The BPA10T30W100 is a broadband amplifier that generates electromagnetic waves and may affect other
sensitive equipment; therefore, should only be operated in an industrial environment.
Installation position
This equipment uses air circulation cooling method using FAN to release heat by high power operation.
Therefore, we recommend installation in a spacious space with no dust or other contaminants.
Others
The operator of the BPA10T30W100 should not be disturbed during operation of the broadband amplifier
system. The recommended power of the BPA10T30W100 is 1.6kW or more. We recommend installation only in
places where breakers and electric power facilities are 1.6kW or more.
3.2. Transport and Moving
Avoid product damage (damage) caused by improper transportation. Improper transport can cause
the product to fall or fall, causing serious damage to the equipment.
• Broadband amplifiers must be installed with L2 Microwave or qualified personnel, although they may vary
depending on the equipment.
• Do not disassemble or move the installed broadband amplifier arbitrarily.
• When moving with forklifts and other lifting machines, the broadband amplifier should not tilt to one side
and move carefully to avoid affecting the internal parts. If it is tilted to one side, it may fall over, causing
internal or external damage to the rack.
3.3. Power Supply
The BPA10T30W100 wideband amplifier system operates with the following AC voltages.
-Acceptance input voltage : AC 220V single phase
-Maximum power consumption : 1.6 kW
-Power frequency : 47 Hz ~ 63 Hz
3.4. Load Condition for System Output
In general, the most defects in broadband amplifier operation are caused by high VSWR of load. Be sure to
check the conditions for the amplifier load as shown below.

• Check for deficiency between amplifier output and load
-. It is recommended that VSWR of RF cable applied between amplifier output and load is less than 1.5: 1.
-. Check the VSWR of the load before connecting the amplifier and load.
Check the VSWR of the antenna connected to the output of the amplifier during the radiation experiment.
The minimum required VSWR for the antenna should be used under 1.5 : 1.
If the operator wants to use it under high VSWR conditions, the amplifier's output can be used at a lower level.
The following table shows VSWR condition of Load vs. Output Power of BPA10T30W100.
