3 Safety Instructions
This product contains components and assemblies susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and produces high RF energy. Please read the safety instructions carefully in this section before installation and operation.
Please use a proper protective bag and store the product in a clean and dry environment.
WARNING!
Repair work is to be performed by authorized repair and return locations only. Any unauthorized repair behavior will void any remaining warranty.
DANGEROUS HIGH POWER RF!
The equipment's RF Out port emits high power RF energy that can cause physical injury. Ensure that the RF Out port is connected to an antenna system or a high power load before powering and operating the equipment.
HIGH SPEED FANS! DO NOT TOUCH
The equipment's fan speed is high during operation. Do not touch or move it by hand.
HOT SURFACE! DO NOT TOUCH
The equipment's surface temperature is high during operation. Do not touch or move it by hand.
- 10 -

3 Safety Instructions
Do not turn on power supply before the equipment is connected to an antenna system or a high power load, avoiding high power RF energy injury.
Wrap the connection ports (IF Input, RF Output, power supply, and monitoring interface) with high temperature, UV resistant and waterproof tape.
The installation location must be ventilated to ensure optimum fan cooling. Ensure the supply voltage range and polarities are correct. The equipment is an outdoor product. Proper grounding techniques are
required to reduce the potential impact of lighting-produced surge signal. The equipment casing is not to be opened unless instructed by authorized
Norsat personnel. Personal injury may occur; equipment may be damaged by ESD and warranty will be void.

4 Function Instructions

4.1 Working Principle

4.1.1

Ku-Band BUC function and working principle

L-band signal from the modem is converted to Ku-band RF signal, at the same time the power from the waveguide output port is amplified, transmitted to the communication satellite through the satellite antenna system.

4.1.2

BUC block diagram of the composition

The main modules of the Ku-Band BUC are Up Converter, Power Amplifier, Frequency Synthesizer, DC converter, Monitor module and other components.

BUC System Connecting Steps Step 1: Unpack the box and check the unit and accessories to make sure there is
no damage or missing items. Step 2: Install the unit by following the instructions. Laboratory testing requires the
unit be horizontally placed in a dry and ventilated environment. Step 3: Connect BUC IF IN to Modem IF Out. Step 4: Install the antenna interface to antenna system or high power load tightly
and ensure it is water-proof. Do not pinch the O-ring. Step 5: Ensure the power supply voltage range and polarity meet requirements.
This equipment only supports independent power supply. Step 6: Connect BUC to computer through M&C to monitor and adjust available
settings.
