2 Overview
The basic procedure for installing the transmitter is as follows:
Transmitter setup
– Set up the transmitter rack
– Align the transmitter rack
– Remove front panels/rear panel
– Unpack components
Install transformer (optional)
Ventilation system
– Connect intake/exhaust ducts
– Connect external backup fan (optional)
– Check ventilation covers
AC power supply
– Connect transmitter ground
– Connect AC power cable
– Connect external equipment
Install amplifier
Connect antenna/dummy antenna to RF connector
Program feed/remote (connection panel)
A detailed description of the installation procedure is provided in the following sections of
this chapter.

Chapter 3 Installation
2099.9595.72 - 3.4 - E-2
3 Transmitter Setup
Make sure that the transmitter is standing in a stable position and that ventilation is suffi-
cient.
Note During installation, the transmitter must be easily accessible from the front and rear. A
clearance space of at least 1.2 m is necessary in order to install all components.
3.1 Transmitter Rack Setup
The transmitter rack can be set up using lift equipment (crane). The roof of the rack has lift
rings for this purpose.
Fig. 1 Lift rings
3.2 Transmitter Rack Alignment
The transmitter rack must be aligned vertically and horizontally to prevent distortion caused
by shearing forces. Use a spirit level to align the rack.
3.3 Removal of Front Panels/Rear Panel
Before you start installing the individual pieces of equipment, make sure that you have easy
access to all equipment, connectors and interfaces needed.
)Using a torx screwdriver, remove all front panels and the rear panel of the rack. This al-
lows you to reach all equipment, connectors and interfaces necessary.
ATTENTION!
Due to the danger of getting crushed, do not stand underneath a rack suspended in the air.
To avoid falling, take the necessary precautions when climbing ladders.

Note When removing and mounting the front panels and rear panel, pay special attention to the
ground terminals.

3.4 Unpacking of Components
Each transmitter component is packaged separately.
)Remove the packaging and arrange all equipment so that it is ready for installation.

4Transformer
Note For more information about the transformer, refer to the manual on the optional AC supply
transformer.

2099.9595.72 - 3.7 - E-2
5 Ventilation System
Note The ventilation system is already installed and wired inside the transmitter.
5.1 Connection of Intake/Exhaust Ducts
Depending on your specific order, the intake/exhaust openings are located at either the top
or bottom of the rack. The "external intake" option may also be available. In this case, the
air intake is routed to the output box via an integrated air filter on the rear panel.
The external pressure drop must not exceed 100 Pa for the required amount (e.g. for
NV8206, 6 amplifiers: 17 m2/min).
Thus, a total of max. 12 m tubing (D = 250 mm), two 90° arcs and an air filter with a final
pressure drop of 40 Pa can be used.
Note Only tubing with a diameter of 250 mm is permissible.
If air intake is directly from outside the building, use an air filter.
Note Be sure to connect the intake and exhaust lines properly, otherwise the system may be-
come overheated.
The following drawings show the transmitter roof and floor dimensioning for properly con-
necting the transmitter to the station.
ATTENTION!
The temperature of the cooling air must not drop below the dew point, otherwise conden-
sation may occur in the air shafts.

5.2 Connection of External Backup Fan
Note If longer distances (more than 12 m) are involved on-site, an external fan should be used.
The transmitter offers a switched phase for controlling an external AC supply relay. In addi-
tion, you can insert an external protective motor switch with release contact in the transmit-
ter's cooling fault detection circuit if necessary.

5.3 Check of Ventilation Covers
To ensure that ventilation functions properly inside the transmitter, the interior part of the
transmitter rack has an opening on each side to permit air circulation.
)Make sure that the ventilation covers on the slots in the frame where the amplifiers will
be fitted are open on both sides. Remove the covers if necessary.

Fig. 6 Ventilation opening
Note The ventilation openings on vacant slots (without amplifiers) have to be closed.
5.4 Checking of Differential Pressure Gage
For the differential pressure gages to be able to measure the pressure between the fans
and the environment, the covers must be removed.
)Make sure that the covers of both differential pressure gages on the left side have been
removed.
