3 Safety Instructions

3 Safety Instructions
- 10 -
This product contains components and assemblies susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and produces high RF energy. Please read the safety
instructions carefully in this section before installation and operation.
Please use a proper protective bag and store the product in a clean and dry
environment.
WARNING!
Repair work is to be performed by authorized repair and return locations only.
Any unauthorized repair behavior will void any remaining warranty.
DANGEROUS HIGH POWER RF!
The equipment’s RF Out port emits high power RF energy that can cause
physical injury. Ensure that the RF Out port is connected to an antenna system
or a high power load before powering and operating the equipment.
HIGH SPEED FANS! DO NOT TOUCH！
The equipment’s fan speed is high during operation. Do not touch or move it
by hand.
HOT SURFACE! DO NOT TOUCH！
The equipment’s surface temperature is high during operation.
Do not touch or move it by hand.

3 Safety Instructions
- 11 -
Do not turn on power supply before the equipment is connected to an antenna
system or a high power load, avoiding high power RF energy injury.
Wrap the connection ports (IF Input, RF Output, power supply, and monitoring
interface) with high temperature, UV resistant and waterproof tape.
The installation location must be ventilated to ensure optimum fan cooling.
Ensure the supply voltage range and polarities are correct.
The equipment is an outdoor product. Proper grounding techniques are
required to reduce the potential impact of lighting-produced surge signal.
The equipment casing is not to be opened unless instructed by authorized
Norsat personnel. Personal injury may occur; equipment may be damaged by
ESD and warranty will be void.

4.1 Working Principle
4.1.1 Ku-Band BUC function and working principle
L-band signal from the modem is converted to Ku-band RF signal, at the same time
the power from the waveguide output port is amplified, transmitted to the
communication satellite through the satellite antenna system.
4.1.2 BUC block diagram of the composition
The main modules of the Ku-Band BUC are Up Converter, Power Amplifier,
Frequency Synthesizer, DC converter, Monitor module and other components.
