D Page 3 of 7 2/17/2015 05-4186A01-eNETL2TUV_Manual_RevD.doc 2 Introduction The eNETL2T/U/V is an RF power amplifier designed for use in the 210270 MHz frequency range at up to 40 Watts. It is intended to serve as a 100% duty cycle amplifier for MDS entraNET 220 and TD220 radios operating in point-to-multipoint repeater or base applications. 2.1 Product Description The eNETL2T/U/V power amplifier consists of an RF amplifier and PCB mounted to a heat sink, with a DC Power interface, power control interface, and input/output RF connections on the sidewalls of the chassis. DC power is supplied to the amplifier from a regulated and filtered DC source capable of supplying 10-16 Vdc at a maximum current of 6 Amperes. The DC power source should be current limited or have a protective fuse or circuit breaker. 2.2 Power Control Loop Modes The amplifier can operate in two modes; External or Internal Control Loop. In External mode, a cable feeds the output power level back to the transceiver (typically an entraNET 220) which adjusts its drive to attain the power setpoint. In Internal mode, a feedback circuit within the amplifier performs this function. In both cases, the setpoint is set by potentiometer R112, located within the amplifier. Further, the PA performs TX/RX switching to provide a low loss receive path when not transmitting. The TX/RX control is performed via the control cable attached at J101 and by RF detection within the PA. Figure 1 J104 and R112 Locations 05-4186A01 Rev. D Page 4 of 7 2/17/2015 05-4186A01-eNETL2TUV_Manual_RevD.doc 3 Interfaces 3.1 J101 Control Interface The J101 Control Interface is intended to connect to the transceivers control interface and provides keying and power control signals. Table 1 J101 Control Cable Pin Functions Pin Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Function 3 Vdc enable TX, low=off 0.7 Vdc (varies to set RF power) Not used Ground 3.2 J102 RF Output J102 is a 50 Ohm Female Type N connector. 3.3 J103 RF Input J103 is a 50 Ohm Female Type N connector. 3.4 J104 External/Internal Keying Jumper J104 is a jumper block with 3 pins. Shorting pins 1 and 2 (EXT) enables an external transceiver to key the amplifier via J101. Shorting pins 2 and 3 (INT) enables the amplifiers internal power detector to key the amplifier. Access to this jumper block is via a hole in the top cover. 3.5 R112 Power Control Adjustment R112 is used to adjust the RF power output of the amplifier in both internal and external keying modes. Turn the potentiometer clockwise for higher power and counterclockwise for lower power. 05-4186A01 Rev. D Page 5 of 7 2/17/2015 05-4186A01-eNETL2TUV_Manual_RevD.doc 4 Installation 4.1 Mounting the Unit The eNETL2T and eNETL2V are designed for mounting in a standard 19inch rack cabinet using the 3U panel provided. Four screws (not provided) are required to attach the panel to the rack sides.
