CHAPTER 3
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1 Overview and Input Power Requirements
This chapter describes how to install the RVP900 hardware. This includes
mechanical installation and siting, electrical specifications of the interface
signals, system-level considerations, and the standard connector panel.
There are two major modules supplied with the RVP900:
- RVP901 IF Digital Receiver; typically mounts in the radar receiver
cabinet.
- RVP902 Main Chassis; usually mounted in 19 in EIA rack
Much of the RVP900 I/O is configured through software. This makes the
unit very flexible. Since there is no custom wiring, internal jumpers, or
oscillators, it is easy to insert spare modules. The software configuration of
the I/O is described in Appendix A, Serial Status Formats, on page 337.
The physical installation of the hardware is described in Appendix B,
RVP900 Packaging, on page 343
WARNING
The Main Chassis redundant power supplies are NOT auto-ranging like
the IFDR. These are factory configured for the expected voltage, but
should be VERIFIED by the customer before power is applied to the
system.
