3.2.4 Pre-Installation Test
Performing a pre-installation test prior to the actual field installation
helps you to:

Confirm that the unit has not been damaged during shipment.

Check that the unit is in working order before performing a tiring
and costly mounting procedure on your antenna.
 Note: Ensure that no alarm or fault appears on the Compact Ka-BUC
before performing any test.
 Note: To avoid damaging the Ka-BUC, please connect a 40 dB
waveguide attenuator or coupler with a power rating that is at least twice
the rated RF output of your BUC.
Step 1 Connect the Compact Ka-BUC as shown in the figure below and power up
the system.
