Introduction
BUC - BLOCK UP CONVERTER AND AMPLIFIER
If this unit is a BUC, this unit converts IF to RF in the KU range for the frequencies specified in the original
configuration of this unit and amplifies the power to the specified power.
SSPA – SOLID STATE POWER AMPLIFIER
If this unit is an SSPA only, this unit amplifies the i nput signal to the specified power.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
CAUTION: Do not stand in front of waveguide during operation. Especially, do not look into the
waveguide.
CAUTION: Do not allow any items to fall into the unit from the waveguide opening.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW EQUIPMENT TO BE IN STANDING WATER. While the BUC/SSPA is
designed to be used outdoors, the equipment is not designed to operate in standing water. Fail ure to
follow this precaution could result in el ectri c shock and injury to persons.
CAUTION: Apply volt age to the DC input connector only as specifi ed in the original configur ation of this
unit. Applic ation of a voltage outside of the specif ied range may cause the unit to become damaged or
non-functional.
