1.3 4037A Overview
The TSC 4037A is a one input, sixteen output L1/L2 amplifier housed in a 1U (1.75”) high 19 inch rack mount
chassis. It provides sixteen outputs from a single input. The front panel provides green LED status for the voltage
being supplied to the antenna (5V or 12V). Additionally, there is a green LED that provides power status.
Figure 1 shows the 4037A’s front panel, and Figure 2 shows the 4037A’s rear panel.

Do not attempt to install or operate this equipment if you have not first acquired proper training.
Equipment is intended to be installed in an Enclosed or Open type equipment rack
Ensure that all cables are properly connected. The power cord must be easy to remove from the
back.
Verify that input line voltage and current capacity are within specifications before turning on
power to the unit.
Disconnect all sources of input power before removing the top cover of this unit.
Operating and maintenance personnel must receive proper training before installing or
maintaining electrical equipment.
2.2 Unpacking
To unpack the TSC 4037A unit:
1. Unpack and carefully inspect the unit.
2. Check for physical damage.
3. If no physical damage is apparent, then proceed with making appropriate connections.
!If physical damage is observed, immediately contact Timing Solutions and the
carrier.
4. Save the shipping container for submitting any necessary claims to the carrier.
!
2.3 Cleaning
Warning
Do not spray or use too much liquid when cleaning the unit. Liquid can enter the unit and damage
sensitive electronic components.
Clean the main chassis with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution.
2.4 Installing the 4037A
The 4037A is shipped ready for installation into a standard 19" (48.3 cm) rack. Provisions are
included for mounting General Devices slides with part numbers C-300-S-126, -128 and -130.
2.4.1 Required materials for installation
North American or European IEC power cord. One or the other will be supplied with the unit.
Customer supplied double-shielded RG223 cables with TNC connectors from source, and to
next devices in system.
Rack-mount slide kit from General Devices, C-300-S-126, -128 or -130 (Optional)
Rack mounting screws, screwdriver, and slide as needed.
2.4.2 Making Connections
2.4.2.1 Input Power
AC INPUT POWER - The input power to the unit is supplied through a detachable 3-prong
power cable. First plug the female end into the male IEC-320 plug on the rear of the unit,
then plug the male end of the cable into a 100V~ to 240V~, 50/60 Hz power source.
Warning
Ensure that this power supply cord is connected to a properly grounded mains receptacle to
ensure safety.
Since the unit does not have an AC Mains Power Switch, both the Appliance Inlet Connector
and the Plug on the detachable type power supply cord are considered to be suitable
Disconnect Means for disconnecting the unit from the AC Mains Supply. If the rear of the
unit is not accessible after installation in the instrument rack, the User is responsible for the
provision of a suitable external AC Disconnect Means for the unit.

2.4.2.2 Output Signals
Connect up to sixteen cables to the OUTPUT TNC connectors on the rear panel of the unit to
supply users with a copy of the input signal.
2.4.3 Input Signal and antenna bias setting
Before connecting the antenna input signal, ensure that the antenna bias supply voltage
jumper is set to the position which will provide the proper voltage to your antenna. There are
three different settings for the antenna voltage: +5 VDC, +12 VDC and no DC voltage
supplied. The unit ships from the factory with a default setting of no DC voltage. To change
the setting; remove the top panel from the unit, locate jumper JP1 and place it in the position
to provide the appropriate voltage. If you do not want to supply a DC voltage to your
Antenna, place the jumper on JP2 for future use if you need to supply a voltage to the
antenna.
Connect the input signal cable to the INPUT TNC connector on the back of the unit.
Perform all of the following procedures before returning the unit for service. If the unit still
appears to have a problem, then call Timing Solutions Corporation and request technical support.
Have the serial number of your unit ready to provide to a technical representative.
3.1 Replacing Fuses
If you know that a local event caused blown fuses throughout a rack, you can replace the fuses in
each 4037A power entry module.
Required for this procedure:
!Small flat-head screwdriver
!Replacement fuse for a standard IEC 320 power entry module with fuse (5 x 20 mm, 1 A
250 V Time lag fuse)
To replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the power cable from the back of the 4037A.
2. Using a small screwdriver, open the fuse cover on the back of the 4037A.
3. Replace the old fuses as necessary.
4. Close the fuse cover.
5. Reconnect the power cable to the back of the 4037A.
3.2 Solving Operational Problems
If the unit does not operate properly after you have verified that:
!the correct power is applied to the rear of the 4037A
and
!the fuses are good,
call Timing Solutions Corporation to obtain a Returned Materials Authorization and return the
unit to TSC for repair.
