GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Your TXRX Systems Inc. Tower Top Amplifier System provides the highest degree of reliability available in a Tower Top Amplifier (TTA). The system uses quadrature-coupled amplifiers (also called balanced amplifiers) to create a redundant amplifier configuration in both the tower box and the receiver multicoupling unit (MCU). Each quadamplifier provides two simultaneously used, essentially parallel paths of amplification. Failure of one of these paths of amplification results in an overall gain reduction of only 6 dB.
The system also supplies automatic backup-ampli- fier switching in the tower top box. Fault detection circuitry continuously monitors the DC power operation of the primary quad-amplifier and automatically switches to the identical secondary quadamplifier if conditions indicate a primary malfunction. If the secondary quad-amplifier malfunctions, operation switches to whichever quad-amplifier is still providing some gain due to operation of one of its amplification paths. Fault detection circuitry also

The quad-amplifier in the tower top box amplifies the weak received signal before the signal enters a long and lossy transmission line, thus preventing the line loss from degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. The quadrature amplifiers have a separate power circuit for each half of the amplifier which provides component redundancy as well as unsurpassed IM performance. Microprocessor controlled fault detection circuitry in the tower top box provides continuous monitoring and switching of each quad amplifier while sending operational data to the base unit front panel for at-a-glance status reporting and form-C contact switching for alarm integration. Included in the tower top box is a pre-

converter, and a display panel to provide visual feedback on the system’s operating status. The specifications for the MCU are listed in Table 3. Also included in the system is a webpage user interface for controlling and monitoring of amplifier currents, alarms, and attenuators. The webpage user interface is accessed through the front panel LAN connector. Refer to Appendix A for instructions on accessing this feature.
UNPACKING
Each major component of the TTA system is individually packaged and shipped via motor freight or UPS. It is important to report any visible damage to the carrier immediately. It is the customer's responsibility to file damage claims with the carrier within a short period of time after delivery (1 to 5 days).
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKOUT
The following pre-installation tests should be performed after unpacking the system to verify nothing has loosened during transit. Additionally, the system should be made operational on the bench with all components at ground level to verify proper electrical performance. Figure 3 illustrates all of the cable connection points for both the tower top box and the MCU.
The tower top box should NOT be NOTE installed on the tower until all of the pre-installation tests are successfully
completed.
Mechanical Inspection

release the door. Make sure that all of the connectors are tight. In addition, it is advisable to check the tightness of the hold-down screws for the various assemblies to insure nothing loosened during shipment. Likewise, check all of the cable connections on the MCU to insure they are all properly mated to their associated plugs.
CAUTION: The wide band filter in the tower top box is factory tuned and must not be field adjusted. Field tuning of this filter is not required. Do not adjust the tuning slugs of the amplifier/filter assembly.
Initial Power-Up Test
To perform the initial power-up test the system should be temporarily interconnected at ground level using short cables. Figure 4 shows the tem-
porary equipment hookup for initial power-up testing.
Once the equipment is temporarily interconnected then power is applied to the system by plugging the MCU’s AC cord into a suitable AC outlet (model 429-83H-01-M) or connecting the DC power cable to a suitable -48 VDC supply (model 429-83H-01- M-48). The following start-up sequence occurs.
1)At turn-on, the three front panel status LED’s will all glow a steady red while the display panel shows a row of solid boxes on the top display line. This will last for about 10 seconds while the systems micro-controllers boot-up.
2)During the next 5 seconds the base unit (MCU) will establish communications with the tower box. The front panel status LED’s will occasionally flash green. The display panel will present the message “Connecting to Tower Controller” and then will briefly flash the MCU’s current software version. See Figure 5.

Figure 5: MCU software version is displayed briefly during the boot-up sequence.
3)After the power-up sequencing is complete the screen should show the default display as shown in Figure 6. The status LED for each active amplifier will glow a steady green and the status LED for the inactive (stand-by) LNA will be dark.
Figure 6: Default display.
The tower top amplifier system is software directed so control of the system is accomplished via user interface with the front panel using the display screen and the four menu selection buttons. A flow chart showing all of the possible user menu selections is shown in Figure 7.
Bench Testing
The purpose of the bench test is to verify that all of the system components are working correctly and to measure the systems sensitivity before climbing the tower to mount the tower top box. One station receiver is selected and the test is performed at this frequency. Short temporary cables are used to interconnect all components. A SINAD meter is used for the test (or a bit error rate meter if required) along with a signal generator.
1)The stand-alone receiver sensitivity is measured and recorded first. Record the value in
Table 4.
2)Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 8. Be sure that the signal generator is setup for a 3 KHz deviation with a 1000 Hz tone (analog) or proper pattern for BER testing.

Table 4: Bench Test Results.
* Default “TTA NET GAIN“ Attenuation (3.0 dB) * Default “DISTRIBUTION” Attenuation (1.0 dB)
3)Measure and record the systems bench test static sensitivity in table 4. The sensitivity value will vary depending on the amount of internal programmable attenuation selected via software interface. The bench test measurement should be taken with the default values selected for “TTA NET GAIN” attenuation (3.0 dB) and “DISTRIBUTION” attenuation (1.0 dB). These are the factory default settings that are programmed into your system when you first turn it on.
4)Select the other tower top amplifier and check that the bench test static sensitivity value remains nearly the same. This will insure that both amplifiers in the tower top box are functioning properly. To select an alternate towertop amplifier press the associated amplifier select button on the front panel, the status LED will begin to flash, then press the ENTER button to finalize the selection.
5)If the tower box door is opened during the installation it is important to re-tighten the doorclamp locking screws uniformly so that the door gasket seal is maintained. Tighten each clamp about half-way, then start back at the first clamp and fully tighten each one in the same order. Tighten with a hand tool only. Insure that the moisture vent holes at the bottom of the box are unobstructed.
