1.5 Comparisons Between Standard and Mini Compact Outdoor SSPAs
In 2010, Teledyne Paradise Datacom introduced a smaller outdoor SSPA package based on
the standard Compact Outdoor SSPA described in this manual.
While similar in function, there are some differences that prevent immediate substitution of a
Standard Compact Outdoor unit type with a Mini Compact Outdoor unit in a system. Some of
the differences between the Standard and Mini Compact Outdoor amplifiers are outlined
below:
•
AC Mains connector
•
Slight variation in protocol
•
No analog gain control on J4 in Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
•
No RF Power Detector analog output on J4 in Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
•
No Low RF Fault output on J4 in Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
•
No BUC Alarm output on J4 in Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
•
No Spare Input on J4 in Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
Due to the size differences between the standard Compact Outdoor SSPA and the Mini
Compact Outdoor SSPA, the following form factors also differ:
•
Mounting kit configuration
•
Waveguide center line measurements
•
Location of connectors
