This transmitters family has been designed to offer to the customerhigh performances, high reliability and greater simplicity in their operation and maintenance procedures.The Video and Audio signal processing is provided for all Analogue and Digital TV Standards and all types ofAudio applications (Mono and Dual Sound - NICAM) together with colour systems such as PAL - NTSC -SECAM. The transmitter ensures optimal performance also with Digital TV signals (DVB-T, ATSC, DTMB,etc.). Thanks to the amplitude and phase pre-correction circuit, it is possible to cancel the distortions in theoutput stage, thus cutting down the operating costs. The RF transposition in the driver is carried out by asynthesizer with various possibilities of accuracy and stability as well as precision offset locked by internal orexternal frequency reference.When equipped with a dual-mode exciter (Analogue and DVB-T), the transmitter can quickly and easilyswitch from analogue broadcasting mode to DVB-T broadcasting mode (and vice versa), to enable acomfortable operation during the transition period to the full-digital broadcasting time.The RF Amplifier is made up by two RF Amplifier Modules installed in a power rack; the modules arededicated for the Video and Audio carriers common amplification and for Digital TV amplification. Theamplifiers employ solid state LDMOS technology in order to obtain wide band, reliability, and high efficiency.Each RF module has a built-in switching-mode power supply unit, self-protected against overcurrents andovervoltages, as well as overtemperature and VSWR for RF parameters. The cooling system is fully containedinto the transmitter. The Amplifier Control unit provides full management of the transmitter without the presenceof the operator, the system includes a central controller and several peripheral units installed in each RFmodule and rack. Controller and peripherals are connected by a RS485 full-duplex bus.Power supply output voltages and currents, Forward and Reflected Powers of any single power am-plifierare monitorized by Amplifier Control unit.In that way there is a single interface point between user and all the transmitter. The operator inter-face ismade by a high resolution LCD graphic display and a simple keyboard, the menu is very friendly and easy touse.The Amplifier Control unit can be fully controlled in 'remote' mode via link or via modem in RS232 or otherinterface.The equipment design allows the soft degradation (RF power loss) for several transistors faults.TXUD1000/ATSC UHF TV TRANSMITTER

16INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTSThis section explain how to install and configure the transmitter for your location All internal switching andsetup should be done by qualified service person.PARAMETER REQUIREMENTSTRANSMITTERROOMThe room should be clean and free of dust. The building floorshuold be able to support a load capacity >1000kg/m2INSTALLATIONAREAThe transmitter should be installed to have space around enoughfor ventilation and for maintenance actions to be allowed.The minimun requirement space is one meter outer boundary oftransmitter.TEMPERATUREThe transmitter is designed to work from -5° up to 45°C, anywayto ensure long life is better to keep the room temperature lowerthan 35°C.ELECTRICALPLANTThe transmitter power consumption is <6.7kVA, we suggest todesign the main power line capacity increased by at least morethan 50%.MAINS SYSTEMThe mains system should be three phase with neutral. Thetrasmitter is available in two different mains voltage models for380VAC and 230VAC system.AIR COOLINGThe outlet air should be convoyed out of the room by suitable ducts(the transmitter air output adapters has a diameter of 320mm).The air flow required is 2000m3/h.ANTENNAThe transmitter RF output interface is EIA 1+5/8” (others interfacecan be supplied on request in order to match the antenna feederor combiner input). The RETURN LOSS of the system should begreater than 27dB in the operation channel.Note: the standard cooling system is supplied with internal ventilation system, air inlet and outlet areon the top. Other different installations can be proposed for various air connection arrangements.
17SWITCH ON PROCEDUREBefore to switch on the Transmitter is extremely important to check:- The right connections for the RF system (antenna or external combiner) and take greatest care for the Innerin each coaxial connections;- the right connections with the Mains Power Supply network, the Neutral line must be present and connected,and the correspondence with the voltage nominal value request;- the right working of the earth-ground connections system, for people safety and transmitter right operation;- the right connections inside the transmitter with input/output RF cable to/from amplifier block and combiner/divider system, if for transport or installation reason you had disconnected them before.To follow with first switch on please follow the below indications:- Set in OFF position all the frontal switch, Main, Amplifier Control and Amplifiers Block;- turn ON the Mains and the Amplifier’s switch. The Amplifier Control checks the communications with theamplifier block. If the communication is ok you can turn ON the Amplifier Control, now automatically therack’s blowers and the exciter are switched ON;- give little power in to the amplifier and check if all the indicator are in the right situation (no reflected, nounbalance on the Amplifier Control, more or less the same indication for current and power for all theamplifiers block);- increase the power slowly slowly. At rated maximum output power some watts might be shown as ReflectedPower due to isolation of directional coupler or return loss from antenna system.EXCITER DESCRIPTIONThe ATSC TRANSMITTER is an 8-VSB ATSC professional exciter, designed for the most demandingdigital TV broadcasting applications. It integrates a modulator module with up-to-date FPGA technology andadvanced digital signal processing algorithms in order to generate an absolutely accurate output 8-VSB signal,with exceptionally optimized modulation and the output filtering techniques.Very high linearity performances are possible thanks to very careful RF design over the entire VHF and UHFbands and with an optimal digital precorrection engine working simultaneously in the time and frequencydomains. A high degree of reliability is guaranteed, moreover, by the use of oversized cooling devices and bycontrol circuits operated by modern microprocessor technologies.The ATSC TRANSMITTER can be used as a stand-alone 5W RMS transmitter or as a driver stage foramplifiers of greater power. The excellent spectral purity of the conversion oscillator lets the ATSCTRANSMITTER radiate an 8-VSB signal with an excellent MER value.The ATSC TRANSMITTER is equipped with a powerful ASI/SMPTE inputs management block which
18allows to manage the Transport Stream (TS) inputs in a fully redundant configuration, thus significantly improvingthe reliability of the whole broadcasting system in every operating condition.The ATSC TRANSMITTER is totally compliant to the A/53, A/54 and A/64 ATSC recommendations with6MHz output channel bandwidth, in VHF and UHF bands.RF AMPLIFIER MODULE DESCRIPTIONThe RF Amplifier Modules place in the TXUD1000/ATSC Transmitter station are equipment designed tosimplify transport and installation. Born to ensure high working reliability they excel also for their greatperformance. Thanks to the excellent linearity of the amplifiers, achieved with the use of the state-of-the-artLDMOS (UHF) technology, these equipment allow excellent performance both with analog and digital TVsignals. The design redundancy (a power supply for every MOS device), the oversized unbalanced powerdummy loads, the wide input range of the switching-mode power supplies, allow a NO STOP transmission24h per day. The temperature of the amplifiers is guaranteed by a forced air cooling system extremely noiseless.The presence of Amplifier Control that collects all measures from amplifiers and from antenna system ensurea single control point to access to all MOSFET currents, power supplies voltages, temperature of the heatsinks, amplifiers output powers together with the RF power reading of the output antenna system.A multifunctional display on the Amplifier Control makes it possible to verify all the operating parameters ofthe unit. The amplifiers in the series are remotable by wired telemetry connector or by serial communication,RS232 on front panel or RS485 on rear panel of the Amplifier Control.CHANNEL CHANGE PROCEDURETo proceed with a channel change operation, please follow the below indications:- Follow the channel change indications on users manual of the exciter;- from each RF Amplifier Modules select the new closest channel frequency;- tune the Bandpass Output Filter on new channel;- if the difference with the two channel is less than 10 you don’t need to change the power amplifier phasebalance. Otherwise, connect a digital meter to a DC Monitor (BNC) on each dummy load and keep low thevalue, by tuning the microstrip length on the input divider;- connect a Wattmeter and a Dummy Load;- set the rated output power and tune the right Forward Power indication on the Amplifier Control display;- set the output at 10% of the rated ones, swap the Forward and Reflected cable on the rear of the AmplifierControl and set the reflected indication.The 3dB Output Coupler is a wide band type and don’t need any tuning operations.
19DIGITAL UPGRADEThe amplifier is ready to operate with a DVB-T signal keeping the same analogue high performance.- Replace the analogue Bandpass Filter with a digital ones (critical or not critical mask are well supported);- select the RMS Detector instead of peak one on Amplifier Control and on each power amplifier to have theright power indication and the new power alarm threshold;- replace the analogue Cxciter with a DVB-T ones. If you use a DVB-T Modulator with IF output you canuse the IF VEGA input;- the output power should be around 1/4 (in DVB-T mode) or 1/3 (in ATSC mode) of the analogue ratedpower (for example: the 5kW = 1.2kW rms in DVB-T mode or 5kW = 2.0kW rms in ATSC mode).

401.1 DESCRIPTIONThe Amplifier Control (AC) module is the equipment that allows to monitor and manage from a single locationa modular transmitter, composed by several combined amplifier modules (AM). The AC continuously monitorsthe status of the AMs and highlights any anomaly, it monitors the powers in antenna (forward and reflected)and the unbalancing, if any, showing all of the parameters on the display and through the status LEDs. It ispossible to power supply the fans of the rack directly by the AC, which constantly monitors their operation,thus protecting the AMs and the other components in the rack in case of failure. Even the exciter(s) can bepowered directly by the AC, so that it can be switched on or off along with the amplification stage.The human-machine interface (HMI), intuitive and user-friendly - most of all thanks to the large graphicdisplay which covers the most of the front panel and to the six status LEDs -, the noise-immune RS485connection with the AMs, the possibility to connect a series of switches to an Interlock input and the remotecontrol option make the AC a reliable, as well as easy to use, device to be used in low and high-power, FMand TV, analogue and digital, combined and separated transmitters.In most cases the AC is already installed into the transmitter, wired and calibrated, so that the user can use itwithout having to worry about technical details. Anyway, Section 2 of this manual covers the main informationabout installation and external connections. For additional technical information, contact the Customer Serviceof Elettronika S.r.l. or the local distributor. Section 3 describes the operation of the AC and everything theuser can do with it. Read this section carefully before using the device.AMPLIFIER CONTROL

47Section 2 - InstallationContents:2.1 Preliminary operations2.2 Operating environment2.3 First installation2.4 Connection with a Remote Control System
482.1 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONSNo wiring is necessary because the device is already installed and correctly connected to the power supplyand other parts of the transmitter. In case a new AC has to be installed, check all connections with the help ofthe diagrams and tables in this Section. Correct installation of the equipment is important for maximumperformance and reliability. Before switching on and powering the transmitter, make sure that all connectionsare correctly made.The pinout tables of multi-pin connectors can be found in the Front and Rear Panel in the previous Section.2.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENTThe equipment can be installed into a standard component rack or on a suitable surface such as a bench or adesk. In any case, the area should be as clean and well-ventilated as possible. Always allow for at least 2cmof clearance under the unit for ventilation. If the device is set on a flat surface, install spacers on the bottomcover plate. If it is installed in a rack, provide adequate clearance above and below. Do not locate the devicedirectly above a heat source.2.3 FIRST INSTALLATIONMain Power SupplyBefore connecting the power supply cable, make sure that two 10A fuses have been put inside the socket. Toopen it, use a little screwdriver to move the plastic table. Then connect the power supply cable. To switch onthe amplifier control, move the switch next to the power supply connector to position 1.21RS485 AMPL INTERLOCKRS485 REMOTEGNDABCDEFGHAGC TELEMEASURESFANS CONTROL24Vdc AFUSEFANS1 POWERFANS2 POWERDRIVER POWERMAIN POWER SUPPLYRF MONITOR INFUSE A AFUSE21AC POWERDRIVERPOWER SUPPLYFANSPOWER SUPPLYFWD UNBREFRF MONITOR INPUTRS485AMPLIFIERSDUMMY LOAD
49DRIVER1/2 Power SupplyThe transmitter can be wired so that the exciters are directly fed by the AC. The advantage of this configurationis the possibility to control the whole transmitter, Amplifier Modules and drivers, from a single point, that is theAC. Using the adequate male-female cord, connect the power supply of the driver to DRIVER1 POWERconnector, for combined transmitters; connect the power supply of the drivers to DRIVER1 POWER andDRIVER2 POWER connector, for TV separated transmitter.FANS Power SupplyThe rack in which the transmitter is installed is usually provided with cooling fans. These can be fed directly bythe AC in the same way as the drivers, so that they are automatically switched on and off along with the AMs.To do this, connect the fans to the FANS POWER connector using the proper cord. The power supply islimited by a fuse on the rear panel. The blowing current of this fuse depends on the kind of fans in use.FANS CONTROLA failure of fans may cause the temperature of the rack to rise beyond acceptable limits, with dangerousconsequences on the most critical parts of the AMs. For this reason, the AC continuously monitor the rotationof the fan, if it is powered, by analysing the input signal at the FANS CONTROL BNC connector. If the fansare rotating, the two poles of the BNC connector should be shorted.INTERLOCKThe Interlock connector may be used as an additional alarm source stopping the transmitter operation. Usuallyit is connected to the frame of the rack and activated when it is open, in order to prevent the operators totouch dangerous electrical parts during maintenance operations. It is possible to connect a series of switchesbetween the two poles of the BNC Interlock connector: during normal operations all switches are closed, ifany of them is open, the AC detects the absence of continuity between the two poles of the INTERLOCKconnector and immediately stops the transmitter. Anyhow, this behaviour can be disabled from the display.RF Powers (A-H)During the normal operation of the transmitter, the AC measures the RF powers in antenna (forward andreflected) and the unbalancing, if any, at the combiners. A maximum of 8 inputs is possible, even though usuallyonly 3 of them are used (1 forward power, 1 reflected power, 1 combiner unbalancing). That depends on thekind of transmitter. Usually channel A is used for forward power, channel B for reflected power, channel C forthe unbalancing.AGCIn some transmitters it is possible to implement the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) functionality, which allowsto keep the power output in antenna constant in spite of any factor which may make it changes, such astemperature. To implement the AGC functionality correctly, the exciter (or exciters for dual driver transmitters)has to be connected to the AC using the cable provided.When this connection is present and the AGC is enabled on the exciter, the latter can read the power in
50antenna and keep it constant over time, by increasing or decreasing the internal gain. In case of faults in thehigh-power amplifier stage, the AC stops the AGC in order to prevent any possible damage.AMPL RS485In a high-power transmitter there are a number of Amplifier Modules (AM) which RF outputs are combinedin order to provide the required total high power. Although these are separated devices, it is necessary to beable to control all of them from a single point of the transmitter, and even switch them on and off at the sametime. This point is represented by the AC, which is in constant communication with all AMs through an RS485serial bus, immune from electromagnetic noise inside the rack of the transmitter. All AMs have to be connectedto the AC by using the proper multi-connector cable to one of the two AMPL RS485 connectors.+24VdcOn the rear panel there are two two-poles connectors on which a +24V DC power supply is always available,protected by a 1A fuse. It is usually used to power supply Dummy Loads in the rack.RF MonitorOn the front panel of the AC there is a monitor of the RF signal in antenna on a 50Ω BNC connector. Thetechnical staff of Elettronika provides for the correct calibration of this monitor, taking into consideration thecoupling of the directional coupler and all cable losses, if any. At the nominal power of the transmitter, thesignal level at the RF monitor is 0dBm level.2.4 CONNECTION WITH A REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMThe AC can be controlled locally by the display and buttons or remotely by using one of the following threesystems: RS485, Telemeasures or RS232 (only one at a time).REMOTE CONTROL UNITPORT n21RS485 AMPL INTERLOCKRS485 REMOTEGNDABCDEFGHAGC TELEMEASURESFANS CONTROL24Vdc AFUSEFANS1 POWERFANS2 POWERDRIVER POWERMAIN POWER SUPPLYRF MONITOR INFUSE A AFUSE21
51RS232On the front panel of the AC there is a D-SUB9 female connector used to control the transmitter from a PC,using a standard RS232 serial connection. For more information about remote control option, contact theSales Department of Elettronika S.r.l. or the local distributor.The pin-out of this connector is DCE-type and can be connected to a PC using a direct cable.This connector can also be used to update the firmware of the AC. This operation should only be performedby qualified technicians.RS485On the rear panel there is a D-SUB9 female connector used for remote control via RS485. The RCU devicemanufactured by Elettronika S.r.l. is needed for this feature to be used. For more information, contact theSales Department of Elettronika S.r.l. or the local distributor.TelemeasuresThe D-SUB25 female connector allows to control the transmitter remotely using a generic control interface.Some analogue and digital outputs are available on this connector, thanks to which a control system can readthe status of the transmitter. There are also some inputs allowing to switch the transmitter on and off fromremote by opening or closing some contacts.It is possible to connect two switches to close pin 1 and pin 14 to GND. Usually the switch on pin 1 is openin order to disable remote control. To switch the transmitter on/off, close/open the switch on pin 14 dependingon the command to be given, then close the switch on pin 1 to send the command. Once it has been receivedby the AC, the switch on pin 1 can be open again. For better comprehension see the figure below, showing theclosed switch with a low level and the open one with a high level.POWERMICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLED SYSTEMRS232AMPLIFIER CONTROLSERIAL PORT

53Section 3 - OperationsContents:3.1 Switching On the Amplifier Control3.2 Operation3.3 Menu
543.1 SWITCHING ON THE AMPLIFIER CONTROLAfter having made sure of the wiring, the transmitter can be switched on by using the mains switch on the rearpanel. The very first time the transmitter is switched on, set the POWER button on the front panel to 0, whichmeans transmitter off. The display will show for a few seconds an introduction animation, displaying the kindof transmitter and the firmware version. During this stage, all LEDs light up and the buzzer sounds in order tocheck that it works. Since both LEDs and buzzer are used to signal failures, it is important to check themperiodically. Check the paragraph dedicated to the display, later in this manual, in case it should be hard orimpossible to read.3.2 OPERATIONThe Amplifier Control (AC) is the central point of the whole transmitter. It allows to switch on and off all of theamplifier modules (AM), the exciters and the fans, it monitors alarms and anomalies and automatically appliesany precaution needed, it manages the user interface by means of the display, LEDs and buttons and answersto local or remote commands by the user.There are two main operating statuses of the transmitter, ON and OFF, both described in detail below.OFF StatusIn the OFF status the output power in antenna is zero. To switch off the transmitter locally, just set thePOWER button on the front panel to 0. The ON LED is switched off as well. While the POWER button is setto 1, it is still possible to switch off the transmitter from remote, if this function is enabled, through the RS232/RS485 serial connections or the TELEMEASURE connector. In this case the ON LED starts blinking.In OFF status, the AC stops feeding the fans and the exciters, switching them off, and also puts in stand-by allof the AMs. While in OFF status the AC keeps communicating with the AMs, polling their data and showingthem on the display. Usually, in this situation, most of these parameters are null.ON StatusThe ON status indicates the normal operation of the transmitter, which is switched on and is sending power tothe antenna. To activate this status, just set the POWER button on the front panel to 1, or use the remoteRS232/RS485 serial connection or the TELEMEASURE connector. It is possible to switch on the transmitterfrom remote only if this function has been enabled and the POWER button is on position 1. While in ONstatus, the ON LED is lit. When changing to ON status, the AC feeds the exciters and the fans and switcheson all of the AMs. While in this status it polls all data from the AMs and shows them on the display. It alsomonitors the status of the fans, the Interlock and the RF powers.InterlockIn case of Interlock alarm, if it is enabled, the AC immediately switches off the transmitter (AMs, fans and
55exciters). If the alarm ends, the transmitter is automatically switched on again.Fan ControlIn case of fan alarm, that is when the FANS CONTROL shows that they are not working properly, the ACswitches off the AMs and exciter(s) after a few seconds, but keeps the fans on, unlike the Interlock alarm. Ifthe alarm was due to a temporary block or failure and the fans restarts working, the AC automatically switcheson the AMs and exciter(s) again.RF PowersThe AC continuously monitors the value of the RF powers in antenna and of the unbalancing, and shows themon the display. Each power has a maximum threshold which is set in factory depending on the type of transmitter.If any of this power goes beyond this threshold, the AC indicates an alarm condition by means of the LEDsand buzzer, and by blinking the indication of the power on the display.The transmitter is not switched off in this case, because the AMs are protected against excessive powervalues. It is possible to enable the REF protection that causes the switching off when the reflected power inantenna is too high.LEDsOn the front panel there are six status LEDs which allow a visual verification of the status of the transmitter.The three LEDs on the left (ON, REMOTE and ALARM) are general ones; the three on the right (FWD,REF and UNB) refer to the alarms concerning RF powers. Table below shows the meaning of each LED.LED COLOUR OFF ON BLINKINGON Green Transmitter Off Transmitter On Transmitter Off by remoteREMOTE Yellow Remote control disabled Remote control enabled -ALARM Red No alarm present Alarm present Alarm endedFWD Red Forward powerunder the threshold -Forward powerbeyond the thresholdREF Red Reflected powerunder the threshold -Reflected powerbeyond the thresholdUNB Red All of Unbalancingunder the threshold -One of Unbalancingbeyond the threshold3.3 MENUDuring normal operation, all information gathered by the AC (RF powers, parameters of the AMs, temperature,date, time, etc) are displayed on a large 240x128 graphic display provided with backlight. If this display is
56Alarm WindowThe alarm window may contain three icons indicating anomalies in theoperation of the transmitter.The first icon on the left represents the status of the Interlock. If there is noInterlock alarm, thus the switches chain is closed, the icon is a closeddoor. In case of Interlock alarm, it is a blinking open door. In case theInterlock is disabled, the icon will not be displayed at all.The second icon, in the middle, refers to the status of the transmitter fansand can be a still fan (fans aren't rotating) or a moving one (fans are rotating).It is important to note that this icon represents the status of the FANSCONTROL contact located on the rear panel, which indicates the actualwork (rotation) of the fans rather than the fact that they are powered ornot. In other words, it is possible that the fans are powered but, for someanomaly, are not working correctly. In this case the icon is a still fan blinking.The third icon, on the right, indicates a generic alarm. It is not displayed ifthe AC is not detecting any malfunctioning condition, while it is displayedas a bell in case of any alarm condition. If the alarm condition ends, the bellblinks to indicate that something happened previously. It stops blinking ifthe alarms list (Log) is accessed to check the occurred events.Date and time windowThe AC is provided with an internal clock with a backup battery placedon the display board. The date is used to associate each event in the log tothe exact time at which it occurred. The time can be set from the Settingsmenu. The AC synchronizes all of the AMs so that all of them display thesame time.hard to read, the contrast can be adjusted by acting with a small screwdriver into the hole on the frontal panelmarked with the symbol.The main screen is similar to the one in figure below. It may change depending on the transmitter, for instancedepending on the number of AMs and unbalancing.
57Temperature and frequency windowThe temperature shown on the display of the AC is the internal temperatureof the device and can be considered as a good estimation of the temperatureinside the rack. The indication of the frequency is only present for sometransmitters, and allows to keep into consideration the different gains ofdirectional couplers with frequency. It can be set from the Settings menu.RF powers windowThis window shows the measures of the RF powers in antenna and theunbalancing of the combiners, if any. The number of monitored powers,especially unbalancing, changes depending on the transmitter. Each powerhas an alarm upper threshold, beyond which the relevant indication startsblinking. This window also shows the kind of measures, which can beeither average quadratic power (RMS, usually used for digital transmitters)or peak envelopment power (PEP, usually used in analogue transmitters).Main windowThe main window contains the picture and a list of the AMs, numbered inseries starting from 1. Next to each number of the list, the ON/OFF statusof the module is displayed. If any anomaly prevent the correctcommunication between the AC and a module, the relevant number wouldblink and no status indication would appear.The arrow buttons allow to move the cursor onto any of the AMs of thetransmitters and on the menu entries Alarm List and Settings.Pressing the RET button while the cursor is on an AM, all of the monitoredparameters of that module are displayed. Each amplifier has twoassociated screens called RF Powers and Power Supply: the first showsthe RF powers and the temperature of the amplifier; the second containsthe parameters of the power supply (voltages and currents). Note thatif the module doesn't communicate correctly with AC, all of the fieldsare blank. To go to the next or previous screen press arrow buttons.Press ESC to return to the main menu.Alarm listBy pressing the RET button on the Alarm List entry in the main window,the whole display shows the event list (log) of the transmitter. Each page ofthis list contains 5 events sorted in reversed chronological order (the mostrecent event is the first in the list), and a maximum of 26 pages are available
58(130 events). If the list is full and a new event occurs, the oldest event inthe list is deleted to make free space to the new one.Each event has an associated number and contains date and time, concernedmodule and description of the event. If the event refers to an alarm condition,a bell icon is displayed on the right. The pages of the list can be scrolledusing the arrow buttons. Press ESC to return to the main window. Todelete all events in the log, press the ESC and RET buttons at the sametime. Make sure to check all events of the log before clearing it.SettingsThe settings window allows to set some of the operating parameters of theAC. It only covers a portion of the display area, so that the user can keepthe alarm and RF powers window under control.The Settings menu is composed by a series of parameters which can bedisplayed and/or changed. Use the arrow buttons to select a parameterand press the RET key to open the relevant screen. The display only shows8 items at any given time: press the DOWN button while the cursor is onthe last displayed item to scroll the menu and show the next one. The UPbutton works in the same way if used on the first displayed item of the list.Press the ESC key to return to the main window. Note that the itemsdisplayed may vary depending on the transmitter and the AC version.If the selected parameter can be modified, use the arrow buttons to changeits value and the RET one to confirm the change. It is possible to cancelthe change and restore the original value by pressing the ESC button. Ifthe parameter cannot be modified, it is possible to press ESC to return tothe Settings menu. All the settings of the menu are described below.InterlockThe AC monitors continuously the status of the Interlock and switches offthe transmitter in case of alarm, until it ends. This function may be disabledby the Interlock setting menu.Frequency (only for some transmitters)In some transmitter the AC keeps into consideration the different couplingeffect of the directional coupler, used to measure the RF powers, comparedto the variation of the frequency. This screen allows to change the frequencyof the antenna signal, setting the frequency of the video carrier in case ofanalogue TV transmitters or the middle band frequency in case of digitalor FM transmitters.
59BuzzerThe AC uses the buzzer in case of malfunctioning or situations in which theattention of the user is required. During tests or maintenance it may beuseful to disable the buzzer using this menu.Generally speaking, it is better to reactivate it during the normal operationof the transmitter..Log ModeThe log is a very important feature as it allows the user to know the detailsof the alarms and events occurred to the transmitter, even if it is unattended.It has two modes between which the user may choose. The “Alarms &Events” mode logs all alarm conditions as well as events such as the localor remote on/off status changes.The “Only alarms” mode only logs alarm conditions. It is generally betterto use the Alarms & Events mode, because the log has a higher level ofdetail. The “Only alarms” mode should only be used for testing andmaintenance operations, in order to prevent the log to be filled by eventsof minor importance.RemoteUsing the RS232 connection on the front panel or the RS485 one on therear panel, the AC may be completely controlled from remote, using adedicated software. This function may be disabled from the Remote settingsmenu. If the remote control is disabled, the parameters of the transmittercan still be remotely read, but not changed. The REMOTE LED on thefront panel is lit when remote control is enabled, and unlit otherwise.RS232/RS485The transmitter can be remotely controlled through the RS232 connectionon the front panel or the RS485 one on the rear panel. It is not possible touse both connections at the same time, and the desired one must be chosenfrom this menu.Working TimerThe Working Timer counts the seconds in which the transmitter has beenworking, i.e. switched on and powered. This screen also allows to resetthe Timer.
60ThresholdsEach RF power monitored by the AC should be below a given maximumthreshold. In case a value is beyond the threshold, the AC indicates analarm condition. The values of the thresholds are displayed in the Thresholdsmenu.Clock/DateThis menu is used to set the current date and time. Once the changes areconfirmed by pressing the RET button, the AC synchronizes all of theAMs of the transmitter.BacklightThe display is provided with a backlight. A Screensaver may be enabledto make the lamp last longer. When it is, the light is automatically switchedoff after 8 minutes without any button being pressed, and it is switched onagain as soon as any button is pressed.ReleaseThe Release menu shows the kind of the transmitter, the version of the ACfirmware and the serial number of the equipment.Rms/PeakThe Amplifier Control can detect Peak and RMS RF powers. Tbe Peakpower is used in analog transmitter (FM or TV), the RMS power is usedin digital transmitter.The user can choose the power detection mode by using the RMS/Peakmenu. In dual-mode (analog and digital) transmitter, the switch betweenRMS and Peak power detection can be linked to an ex-ternal input signalon TELEMEASURES port (see Rear Panel paragraph for moreinformation). Se-lect TLC item in the RMS/PEak menu to enable thisfeature.

65CONTROL AND DISPLAY BOARD SCH0239AR0DESCRIPTIONSCH0239A is the Main Board of the Amplifier Control. It could be considered the core of the equipment.This board is based on a powerful 16 bit microcontroller that runs an optimized ad-hoc firmware for the transmitter.The firmware can be simply upgraded by means of RS232 (see the paragraph below for more details).On the board a small DC/DC power supply is present that converts the +24Vdc input signal to +5Vdc output signalused for almost all the integrated circuits.The microcontroller gathers all the informations from AMs (by RS485 bus), antenna directional coupler, interlockchain, fans and so on. It makes these informations available on the local interface (display and leds) and remote(RS232, RS485 and TLM).The analog inputs are conditioned in order to make a good monitoring of the RF powers, RMS and PEP type. Theinput gain is variable by a trimmer and should be calibrated as explained below. The internal A/D converter of themicrocontroller makes the sampling and converts these signals into digital.The LCD has a CCFL backlight that is fed by the inverter INV1 (see the component layout of the board).All the other boards inside the AC are connected to the display board.- Dip-switchesOn the display board two series of dip-switches are present (see SW1 and SW2 on the component layout).Switches on SW1 is not used. Switches on SW2 must be set in the following way:1 Not Used2 Not Used3 Not Used4OFF5OFF6ON7ON8ONFIRMWARE UPDATEThe microcontroller is provided with a built-in Flash memory containing the firmware. The firmware can beupdated with a later version without removing the apparatus from the rack and/or replacing the chip.To upgrade it, connect a PC to the RS232 socket on the front panel of the apparatus by means of a cable
66DB9 male - DB9 female (pin-to-pin).Launch on the PC the EKAFlash application, select the serial port in use on the PC, choose the update file bypressing the “...” key and click on Download button.Eventually, turn off the AC from the main switch and then turn it on again. The upgrade of the firmware beginson the EKAFlash window. The figure below shows this window while a firmware is being updated.The EKAFlash window while updating a firmwarePOWER CALIBRATIONFWD Power calibrationDisconnect the antenna and connect a wattmeter to the antenna connector. Give power to the amplifier untilyou will read on the wattmeter a value corresponding to the equipment nominal power. Then turn the trimmerA (see Bottom Component layout), it is a variable resistor used to adjust the A analog input measure untilyou read approximately the same FWD power value on the display.REF Power calibrationDisconnect the antenna and connect a wattmeter to the antenna connector. Connect the Forward powermonitoring cable to the Reflected power input connector. Give power to the amplifier until you will read on thewattmeter a value corresponding to 10% of the equipment nominal power. Then turn the trimmer B (seeBottom Component layout), it is a variable resistor used to adjust the B analog input measure until you readapproximately the same REF power value on the display.UNB CalibrationConnect a wattmeter before the dummy load. Give power to the amplifier then turn off one slave module: youwill read an amount of unbalancing power on the wattmeter. Turn the trimmer C (see Bottom Componentlayout), it is a variable resistor used to adjust the C analog input measure until you read approximately thesame UNB power value on the display.
