Operations Manual, HPA3, Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA
Warning! The Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA should NEVER be mounted
with the fans facing up. Doing so will void your warranty.
The fans should be examined periodically and any obstruction or debris should be cleared.
Inadequate air flow can cause the amplifier to overheat and cause a temperature fault. See
Section 6: Troubleshooting and Maintenance
for cleaning instructions.
2.4 Installation
The light-weight chassis of the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA is ideal for mounting the unit—or
redundant assembly—directly to an antenna boom. These instructions outline how to install a
Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA unit onto an antenna boom using a Universal CO mounting Kit.
This kit allows installation of the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA on antenna booms up to 10”
thick.
2.4.1 Safety Considerations
These instructions are designed to be used by a single operator. As such, several safety
issues should be kept in mind during the installation.
1. The Paradise Datacom Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA base unit weighs approximately 24.5
lbs., and should be handled with care to avoid scratching the exterior coating and compro-
mising the unit’s corrosion resistance;
2. All bolts should be torqued down to within reasonable limits to avoid stripping the threads.
3. The section of antenna boom the unit is to be mounted on should be straight, dry and free
from corrosion or defects.
2.4.2 Inspection
On receiving the Universal CO Mounting Kit, inspect the contents to ensure all parts listed in
Table 2-8
are present.
