Alternate Redundant System Configurations
Mixing Compact Outdoor SSPA with other manufacturer Amplifier
Configuring redundant systems with other manufacturers amplifiers can be achieved by using
an external controller such as the Paradise Datacom RCP2-1100. The external controller is
required because the internal controller in the Compact Outdoor Amplifier is specifically
designed to operate with other Compact Outdoor SSPAs. The RCP2-1100 controller will
control the 1:1 redundant system provided that the other manufacturers amplifier is equipped
with a form A or form C summary alarm relay contact. Such a configuration is shown in the
schematic below. The RCP2-1100 is a 1RU high remote controller capable of driving a
waveguide switch that is located several hundred feet from the controller
