Figure 7-27: Standard 1:2 Redundant System with External 10MHz Reference

using the Reference Combiner Assembly.

The Reference Combiner assembly, as shown in Figure 7-27, couples a sample of the 10 MHz reference from each of the two polarity inputs. It will then supply the standby amplifier with the reference from either of the two inputs. The reference combiner will arbitrate and decide which 10 MHz signal to supply to the standby amplifier. It will not supply both 10 MHz sources to the standby amplifier. This allows all three amplifiers to be in a normal operating (non faulted) condition and the RCP2-1200 controller can operate the system in normal 1:2 redundancy. This eliminates the need for a separate 10 MHz line going to the system as the 10 MHz reference normally exists on each L-Band cable.

Amp 2 is meant to be the standard stand-by amplifier in this configuration. Should Amp 1 or Amp 3 fault, the RCP2-1200 will automatically switch to the stand-by Amp 2. However, when this occurs, this interrupts the 10 MHz reference to the faulted Amp/BUC, which results in a constant BUC fault on that thread. In order to return Amp 2 to the stand-by state, the user will need to clear the fault, switch to manual mode on the RCP2-1200 and then select Amp 2 as stand-by. Table 7-1 gives a step-by-step guide to returning Amp 2 to stand-by status.

Table 7-1: Returning Amp 2 to Stand-by Mode After Fault on Thread 1 or 3

Step Action

1Fault on Thread 1 or Thread 3 causes switchover to Thread 2

2Determine cause of fault on Thread 1 or Thread 3 and remove fault condition

3Switch to Manual mode on RCP2-1200

4Select Amp 2 as stand-by amplifier

5Switch to Auto mode on RCP2-1200
