Installation

Packaging The shipping carton and pads provide protection for the instrument during transit, and should be retained in case subsequent shipment becomes necessary. Repackaging instructions can be found in Section 6 (Maintenance) of this manual.

Electrical Installation

Power Source This instrument is intended to operate from a single-phase power source having one of its current-carrying conductors at or near earth-ground (the neutral conductor). Only the line conductor is fused for over-current protection. Systems that have both current-carrying conductors live with respect to ground (such as phase-to-phase in multiphase systems) are not recommended as power sources.

Mains Frequency and Voltage Ranges

+18 Volts For Block Down Converter

The 1705A operates over a frequency range of 48 to 66 Hz, at any mains voltage between 90 Vac and 250 Vac. These newer versions of the 1705A instruments do not require any internal changes to select their operating voltage range.

The slide switch located on the 1705A rear panel, between the input connectors, enables/disables the +18 V supply on the L-BAND connector. See Figure 3-1. This supply, when switched on, is intended to provide power for a Block Down Converter (LNB), through the L-BAND INPUT connector.
