AnaAat® SSPA Quick Start Guide
1. Mount the SSPA on the antenna.
2. Connect the cables for RF input, and RF output (waveguide).
3. If needed, connect the M&C or PA MONITOR to the driver or Protection Switch.
4. Connect AC power, nominal 120 or 240 VAC.
There are no settings that need adjustment.
The SSPA is factory set for a gain equal to the P1dB value.
For monitoring the performance of the SSPA, there are two methods
1. Connect a computer to the RS232 port using the cable provided, and the Supervisor
software. Now you can see a status of the SSPA digital and analog monitored points. The
gain is fixed and cannot be changed. You can MUTE the SSPA with the command TX
OFF/ON.
2. Connect a cable (user provided) to the PA MONITOR connector. This will provide:
A. Pin 1 is used to MUTE the SSPA by grounding this pin.
B. Pin 2 is used to show a summary fault in the SSPA (0 volts). 5 volts is normal.
C. Pin 3 is used to show an analog voltage that changes as output power changes.
D. Pin 4 is used to show the SSPA internal temperature in analog form.
E. Pin 5 is not used.
F. Pin 6 is ground.

Introduction
The AnaSat® VSAT series of SSPAs are designed for continuous outdoor duty in all types of
environments. Ideally suited for SCPC, MCPC, DAMA, and VoIP applications. Designed to interface
with a 0 dBm driver, the AnaSat
networks.
The C-band members of the AnaSat
Ku-band members of the SSPA
The AnaSat
®
VSAT SSPAs incorporate a solid-state power amplifier, M&C function, and a
universal power supply, all in a small, highly integrated outdoor package. The only cabling required to
the indoor plant are the RF and AC power cables.
The Power Amplifier (PA) uses Internally-Matched Field-Effect Transistors (IMFET) to achieve
highly linear power and gain with minimal intermodulation distortion (IMD) products.
AnaSat
®
SSPAs use a wide input voltage (100 to 240VAC, 47 to 63Hz) switching power supply to
develop the +13V used as the internal power source for the Power amplifier. An internal circuit senses
the input voltage range being used and automatically switches to the appropriate mode. The AC input is
connected via a 4-pin circular connector.
®
VSAT SSPA may be used in a wide variety of communication

Unpacking
Check to make sure that the SSPA has not suffered any damage in shipment. Compare contents of
the crate to ensure items received match those listed on the packing slip. Retain all shipping containers
for future use.
Tools and Test Equipment
Have on-hand a standard electrician’s tool kit and any tools listed in your antenna installation
instructions.
Safety Precautions
General
Observe normal safety precautions when operating this equipment.
!
Ensure the AnaSat
ground connection.
If the cover is removed from any ANACOM product, ensure that all:
• gaskets are intact and free of damage prior to reinstallation
• mounting screws are properly installed
Ensure all connectors are properly waterproofed.
®
SSPA is properly grounded. Do not rely on coaxial cable shields for the
Power Supply
We strongly recommend that this equipment not be opened in the field, and the warranty will be
void if the housing is opened without authorization, but should you choose to do so, confirm that AC
Power is disconnected before removing the SSPA cover.
Transmitter
Take adequate precautions to ensure the AnaSat® SSPA output does not transmit a signal
until it has been properly connected and set up for authorized frequencies and power levels.
Transmitter RF output power levels are adequate to cause blindness or other serious
!
injury to body tissues. Use caution when working around the SSPA or antenna when
the system is active.
ANACOM AnaSat

SSPA 8
3133501
Power Amplifier
Be sure the SSPA TX OUT port is properly terminated prior to operation. Ensure all the correct
waveguide gaskets are used to prevent water damage.
TO ENSURE PROTECTION OF PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT, USE CARE DURING
ANTENNA INSTALLATION AND WHENEVER WORKING ON OR AROUND THE SYSTEM.
Site Considerations
The installation requirements of any particular site are the responsibility of the system operator.
AnaCom offers an optional installation mounting kit, that can be used at most sites. Contact AnaCom
for details.
Antenna
The SSPA must be attached to some form of mounting structure which is usually the antenna feed
boom or the antenna support structure. Specific mounting procedures will depend on the antenna used.
The AnaSat
according to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions. Choose an area that is free of extraneous
interference from motors and electronic equipment and has a clear line-of-sight from the antenna to the
satellite.
®
SSPA is designed to be mounted on most antennas. Locate and install the antenna
Lightning arrestors should be used at the site to protect personnel and equipment. Size 3/0 or 4/0
stranded copper wire should be used to bond the SSPA to the antenna frame and to the lightning
protection ground rod.
Power Requirements
The AnaSat® SSPA contains an internal universal AC power supply that supplies the Monitor &
Control functions, (M&C,) and PA internal subassemblies.
The AnaSat
size of the circuit breaker depends on model. To assure uninterrupted service, some method of back-up
AC power is recommended. Installing surge arrestors and AC power line filters will reduce voltage
surges from the AC power input. Provide an isolation filter to clean up power line interference and/or
voltage variations, as required.
NOTE: AC TRANSIENTS AND SURGES MAY CAUSE DATA TRANSMISSION ERRORS AND LOSS OF SYNCHRONIZATION IN THE 0
DBM SYNTHESIZERS AND/OR THE EXTERNAL MODEM EQUIPMENT.

SSPA Mounting Considerations
The AnaSat® SSPA must be mounted such that:
1. Sufficient support is afforded the Block Up-Converter to minimize the effects of antenna sway
in strong winds.
2. Air movement is possible across the heat sink fins. Ideally, the fins should be aligned
vertically, but this is not required.
NOTE: The length (and associated RF losses) of the interconnecting cables must be considered
when determining the location of the AnaSat® SSPA.
SSPA Mounting
The AnaSat® SSPA is designed for mounting in any position.
Figure 2 shows a common
installation example where the SSPA is
mounted on the antenna feed support
arm.
3133501
When mounting the SSPA, allow
enough room to adjust the antenna’s
azimuth and elevation. Throughout
installation and during any polarization,
azimuth, or elevation adjustment, ensure
the cables and waveguide are not
crimped or pinched.
Figure 3 on the next page shows
the SSPA mounting for single thread.
Figure 2 - SSPA
Grounding
Electrical bonding (grounding) of
the SSPA is required to prevent possible
damage from lightning or other induced electrical surges.
The SSPA is provided with both an M3, and a #8 ground point. It is recommended that 000 AWG
minimum copper wire or copper braid be used to bond this unit to the earth ground (grounding rod)
using the most direct (shortest) route possible.

Final Check
Recheck all bolts and cabling.
After all other connections have been made (TX RF input, TX RF output, and grounding), connect
the AC power cord to an active outlet.
Water Resistance Wrap
The application of moisture-resistant wrap (mastic tape) to all connectors is recommended to
prevent water entry and resultant water damage. See Figure 6. Apply the mastic tape as follows:
1. Ensure that all connectors are tight.
2. Pre-cut the mastic tape to the desired size and remove the protective wax liner from the tape.
3. Center the tape on the connector to be sealed and wrap the tape tightly around the connector.
Squeeze the tape tightly and ensure that both ends of the tape have formed around the connector
and the cable.
4. Apply the mastic tape to all connectors that may be exposed to moisture.

Operation
After the AnaSat® hardware is mounted and verified, the antenna must be aimed toward the
desired satellite. Follow the antenna/mount manufacturer’s instructions, using coordinates provided by
the satellite operator. Do not transmit until you have received authorization from the satellite network
operation center, and a transmit power level from its engineering staff.

instructions for the driver equipment for setting the frequency of operation.
connected and provides input.
Antenna Adjustment
o not transmit while adjusting the antenna position.
!
Follow the antenna manufacturer’s instructions for antenna position adjustment. For final alignment,
contact the satellite operator and get the correct polarization, azimuth, and elevation of the satellite and
also confirm the desired transponder is operational.
Transmit Power Adjustment
Maintaining proper output power is vital for maximizing signal-to-noise ratios over the radio path.
Low power levels produce noisy signals; excessive power robs downlink strength from other stations
sharing the transponder.
Adjust the modulator/driver output level to attain the desired output power level. Use a calibrated watt
meter on the output of the SSPA for this task.
When transmitting multiple carriers, run the output power with an output level back-off sufficient
to meet the spectral density mask requirements.
Caution: It is recommended that the SSPA not be driven into saturation for long periods of time.

Alarm Relay Closure
A mechanical relay is used in the AnaSat® SSPA for alarm indication. The red LED mounted on
the SSPA is illuminated whenever a problem exists and the relay has closed.
The alarm relay has normally closed contacts, so it defaults to the alarm state when power is off.
The alarm relay is accessible through the 18-pin connector mounted on the SSPA chassis. See Figure 10
for a diagram of the pins in this connector.
Monitored Values
The following analog inputs are monitored and can result in Alarm closure if out of range:
PA temperature
-5V DC supply (used as a bias voltage in the power amp stages)
+5V DC supply
PA Stage voltages
Main +13V DC supply
The following digital inputs are monitored:
Cooling fan failure
Data Terminal Connection
Using a serial cable with a connector on one end that matches y our terminal equipment (either a
“dumb” terminal or a computer running terminal emulator or modem software), connect the 6-pin or
18-pin weathertight circular connector to the other end, following figure 10 below.
