3.2 FCC Precautions
Caution changes or modifications not expressly approved by Raze Technologies
that pertain to compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the basestation
equipment.
· Only professional installers that have taken the Raze Technologies training class and
are certified will be able to install this equipment including the antenna.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
·
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
o Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
o Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
o Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
· Radio frequency radiation exposure requirements:
This equipment is intended to be mounted on a fixed outdoor structure. A distance of 2
meters should be maintained between the radiating element and any nearby person.
The antenna should not be co-located with other antennas. Failure to observe these
restrictions may cause the equipment to operate with RF power density levels greater
than those allowed by FCC regulations.

The following procedure covers the process of verifying and adjusting the output
voltages of the Power Module and Analog Supervisory Module within the Argus
RSM 48/10 Modular Switched Mode Rectifier.
Step Action Observation
1. Locate 110-120VAC power source and check
for required voltage using a digital multi-meter.
2. The RSM 48/10 is equipped with separate Power
Modules, which fit into a common cabinet
enclosure. In addition the RSM 48/10 includes a
Analog Supervisory Module and a Circuit
Breaker Distribution Module.
3. Turn ON the main 50 Amp circuit breaker, CB1
on the front of the cabinet’s main distribution
panel.
4. Turn ON the circuit breaker(s) for the –48VDC
rectifier, CB2 and CB3.
5. Turn ON the circuit breaker(s) for the Fan Tray,
CB4 and CB5.
Power range should be between 110-120 VAC.
Verify the required amount of Power Modules against
the engineering package.
Refer to figure 4.

Step Action Observation
6. On the Argus RSM 48/10 turn ON CB1 and
CB2.
7. The operational thresholds are to be verified
initially upon startup, utilizing the module’s
output voltage test ports on the faceplate of each
module.
Using the digital multi-meter, measure the
output voltage for each Power Module installed.
Connect the multi-meter’s Red lead to the (-)
negative output voltage test port and the meter’s
Black lead to the (+) Positive output voltage test
port on the Power Module.
A soft start feature is used upon application of AC
power; the output of the module(s) is gradually
ramped up from 0 amps to the load requirement.
A Bargraph Ammeter is located on the front panel of
each Power Module. Each green LED segment
represents a 2.5A increase in output current. The total
output current will vary depending on chassis layout.
The Ammeter operates on “DOT MODE”, which
means that no two segments will light simultaneously.
If an LED is flashing, this indicates a Current or
Power Limit Condition.
The multi-meter’s impedance level should be at least
10 mega ohms.
Refer to figure 3.
8. Adjust voltage accordingly by using a 1/16”
slotted screwdriver on the Voltage Adjust
Potentiometer on the Power Module.
9. Remove the multi-meter leads from the Power
Module.
10. Using the digital multi-meter, measure the
output voltage for the Analog Supervisory.
Connect the multi-meter’s Red lead to the (-)
negative output voltage test port and the meter’s
Black lead to the (+) positive output voltage test
port on the Analog Supervisory.
11. Depress the Test Mode Activated switch, located
to the right of the output voltage test ports on the
Analog Supervisory, to the ON position.
2001Ó Raze Technologies, Inc.
The measurement should read a nominal voltage of
–54 VDC
Refer to figure 3.
The Test Mode Activated LED, to the left of the
switch will illuminate Red indicating the Test Mode is
Activated.

12. With the multi-meter’s leads connected and the
Test Mode Activated, use a 1/16” slotted
screwdriver to adjust the Voltage Adjust
Potentiometer located above the Test Mode
Activated switch, to run through the range of
voltages between –40 VDC and –64 VDC,
stopping on each recommended output voltage
listed in the table in the observation.
Refer to figure 3.
While running through the range of voltages, stop at
the recommended voltage output listed below for each
indicator. Once the voltage level is met on the multimeter, the indicator should light up Red. If the LED
for that particular indictor doesn’t illuminate at the
correct voltage, use a 1/16” slotted screwdriver to
adjust the individual Voltage Adjust Potentiometer
until the LED is illuminated. Continuing on until all
(OVP, HVA, LVA and LVD) indicators are correctly
set at the recommended voltages.
Recommended Output Voltages:
OUTPUT VOLTAGE -54VDC
OVP -56VDC
HVA -56VDC
LVD -42VDC
LVA -44VDC
Caution is advised when tweaking the
potentiometers. Be careful not to over-torque. It is
recommended that a 1/16” slotted screwdriver be
used.

Procedure 2. Remote Modem Cabinet Power Verification and Power Up
The Remote Modem (RM) is situated in an outdoor Cabinet enclosure and is
powered by 120 VAC and –48 VDC. SkyFire™ cabinet configurations will vary
from site to site. There may be multiple chassis installed, and depending on the
configuration of the cabinet this will affect the utilized circuit breakers within the
cabinet. The circuit breaker assignment will vary with site configuration
specifications.
? Note: Before turning on any power to the cabinet, carefully inspect all pins
on each back plane connector of each chassis. If any pins are bent or broken,
notify the next level of support and utilize the RMA process. Do not attempt to repair the pins. Do not proceed.
? Note: Label and mark all cabinet circuit breakers.
The SkyFire™ shelves are powered by –42 VDC to – 58 VDC. Take
caution when working around power connections.
Step Action Observation
1. Verify the location of the AC power cutoff for
the SkyFire™ Remote Modem (RM) Cabinet.

2. Ensure that all personnel on site know where
the power cutoff/breaker is located.
There is one AC cutoff; it is a dual pole ganged
50 Amp circuit breaker (CB1) located on the
distribution panel, inside the cabinet.
3. Ensure that the AC cutoff (CB1) is OFF.Refer to figure 4.

Power Module(s).
Using the digital multi-meter, measure the
output voltage for each Power Module
installed. Connect the multi-meter’s Red lead
to the (-) negative output voltage test port and
the meter’s Black lead to the (+) Positive
output voltage test port on the Power Module.
6. If the site uses DC backup batteries, the
following steps will cover the connection and
verification of those batteries. If the site does not use backup batteries or a secondary power
source, (i.e. CO installations may provide
primary and/or secondary power via their own
–48 VDC power plant) then go to step 13.
7. Ensure that all battery cables and/or jumper
plates are present prior to proceeding with the
battery cable connections.
8. Upon unpacking the batteries, wipe the grease
from the terminal posts that is applied at the
factory.
9. Apply a very thin coat of “NO-OX” antioxidant
grease to the connecting surfaces of all battery
terminals, battery terminal bolts, washers,
battery jumper plates and battery lugs.
