SSPA Remote Control Panel - General Dynamics SATCOM ...

SSPA Remote Control Panel
RCP-2000
Introduction
The RCP-2000 allows you to easily monitor and control any ModuMAX or QuadMod solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) or
other compatible SSPA from a remote location. The RCP-2000 enables the remote, real-time operation of a single SSPA,
which is especially convenient for installations where the SSPA is located in an inaccessible or inconvenient location.
Features
• Duplicates menus and functions available at SSPA
front panel
• Provides customer Serial I/O port (up to 28.8 kBps)
• Audible alarm
• Worldwide AC input capability
• Can be located up to 1.3 km (4000') from SSPA with
inexpensive cable
• Compatible with all ModuMAX or QuadMod SSPAs
with firmware version 1.0x or higher

When there is only one value on a line, the Nom./Typ. column is a nominal value; otherwise it is a typical value. Typical values are
intended to illustrate typical performance, but are not guaranteed.
Parallel I/O (Option 3)
The RCP-2000's parallel I/O (Option 3) provides eight independent contact-closure inputs and eight Form 'C' outputs
which can be used with or without the parallel I/O option on the SSPA. Each input or output is easily configured via
the RCP-2000's front panel display and an extensive menu of SSPA control and status monitoring options.
