2.1 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
You can install the apparatus in a standard component rack or on a suitable surface such as a bench or desk.
In any case, the area should be as clean and well-ventilated as possible. Always allow for at least 2 cm of
clearance under the unit for ventilation. If you set the apparatus on a flat surface, install spacers on the bottom
cover plate. If you install the apparatus in a rack, provide adequate clearance above and below. Do not locate
the apparatus directly above a hot piece of equipment.
2.2 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Correct installation of the equipment is important for maximum performance and reliability. Antenna and earth
connections must be installed with the greatest care. The equipment adjustment isn’t need, because the unit is
completely adjusted by our technical staff. This is the installation procedure:
1. connect the power supply cable of the exciter to the auxiliary socket on the rear panel of the amplifier;
2. connect the power supply cable of the amplifier to the electric network (230VAC). If there is the Isolator
Transformer, the amplifier is provided with cable and plug;
3. connect the exciter / antenna cables respectively to the RF IN and RF OUT on the rear panel of the
amplifier.
Monophase cabling
WARNING!!!
FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY REASONS AND IN ORDER TO KEEP THE APPARATUS SAFE,
THE GROUND TERMINAL OF THE APPARATUS MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE EXISTING
GROUNDING SYSTEM AND NOT BY USING THE SHIELD OF THE OUTPUT COAXIAL CABLE.
16
When the apparatus is put within a combined system it is directly connected to the input splitting and output
combining systems.
Before fully powering the apparatus, check that the output connections of the coaxial cable to the antenna
system are working.
In order to this it is possible to check the indication of the reflected power at low power levels. Only if the
SWR indication on the display is 0, the output power can be slowly increased. At maximum output power,
some watts might be shown as reflected power.

3.1 OPERATION
At startup, after initial image, the display shows the main screen with the RF powers as in Figure 1:
Figure 1: Main screen
The user may turn on and off the amplifier by means of the switch on the front panel. The control board turns
on all the power supplies, the exciter (if any), and internal cooling fans. While the amplifier is working, the
micro-controller monitors continuously the most important parameters: power supply voltages, absorbed
currents, high power zone temperature, forward and reflected powers, unbalances (if any). Each measure is
associated to a maximum threshold beyond which the amplifier is immediately put in protection status by
turning off one or more power supply, depending on the failed block. In order to prevent a temporary problem
to trigger a definitive protection status, the failed block is turned on again, after some seconds, for up to five
times. If it goes beyond the protection threshold for more than five times, it is declared as FAILED and it will
no longer be turned on. In this case, the amplifier will have to be turned off manually by means of the switch on
the front panel, then turned on again after performing the needed maintenance.
On the front panel there are also three LEDs labelled ON, REMOTE and ALARM. Their meanings are
explained in Table 1.

3.2 DISPLAY
The control board is provided with a modern pixels graphic display with blue background. Normally it always
shows a title bar (on the top line) and a status bar (on the bottom line).
The title bar, see Figure 2, shows the name of the amplifier (TV Amplifier) and the current time. If the amplifier
is a single unit coupled externally with other units in a high power transmitter, the title bar shows the amplifier
number (slave address) too.
Figure 2: Title bar
The status bar (Figure 3) indicates the forward and reflected powers and the temperature. It also contains two
symbols for the interlock (lock) and the alarm (bell).
Figure 3: Status Bar
The bell symbol is continuously displayed in case of alarm. It blinks if there has been an alarm which has ended
but has not yet been seen by the user. It stops blinking once the Log has been checked.
The interlock symbol is displayed only when this function is enabled. It may be either a close lock, as in Figure
3, when there is no alarm (interlock chain closed) or an open lock in case of alarm (interlock chain open).
Since the status bar is always showed on the display, regardless of the screen, the user may monitor at any
time the most important parameters and the presence of alarms while moving between different screens.
3.3 MENUS
The user may see or modify locally some configuration parameters using the four buttons on the front panel.
All screens areorganized in a hierarchical menus and the user may move between them in a simple and intuitive
way.
To see the menu it’s sufficient to press the ESC key (see Figure 4).
23
Figure 4: Main menu
The display only shows three items at a time: all the items can be scrolled by the UP and DOWN arrow keys.
Any item can be chosen by selecting it and pressing the RET key. Menu entries with an arrow on the right
open sub-menus when chosen. Thus there is a hierarchical structure as in Figure 5. To go back from a submenu to the previous menu, press the ESC key. If the ESC key is pressed in the main menu, the RF powers
screen is accessed.

This screen shows all the signals coming from two power supply. To check the next (previous) power supply
press the UP (DOWN) key. For each power supply, the voltage, the absorbed current and the status (ON or
OFF) are shown.
Figure 6: Power supply screen
- Log/Alarms
The control board is provided with an external EEPROM and a clock. Any alarm or switching event with the
time at which it occurred is saved in the EEPROM. The Log/Alarms sub-menu allows to manage this log.
It is possible to see the events stored in the log by selecting Log/Alarms
View Log/Alarms. All events
can be scrolled by pressing the UP and DOWN keys. For example, the event shown in Figure 7 is the turning
on of the amplifier by means of the local switch. For every event/alarm a short description and the date and
time at which it occurred is displayed.
Figure 7: Event stored in the log
25
In case of alarm, the value of the measure which caused the alarm is saved into the log. In case of alarm still
existing after five turning-on attempts, the parameter is marked as FAILED. Table 2 is the list of all the events
which can be logged.
