4. INSTALLATION
4.1 UNPACKING & INSPECTION
Unpack the NewsCasrer VT2 and visually
inspect for possible damage to the LCD,
connectors, and surface areas. If damage is
found, a claim should be filed with the
transportation carrier. Save the shipping
container and packing material for re-
shipment, as needed.
4.2 PRE-INSTALLATION
CHECKOUT
Connect the NewsCarrer VT2 output to the RF
Head by cable. Connect the RF Head through
a 30-watt, 30-dB attenuator to a spectrum
analyzer and observe the output frequency on
the analyzer display. Note that the frequency
and level correspond directly to the settings on
the NewsCaster VT? front panel.
4.3 CONNECTIONS
AC Power
The NewsCasrer VT2 Transmitter features a
built-in power supply that accepts AC power
ranging from 90 to 260 VAC (40 to 60 Hz).
The NewsCaster VT2 automatically adapts the
input voltage without any internal jumpers or
switch settings. (Refer to Figure 9, Detail 1.)
The NewsCasrer VT2 is shipped with an AC
power cord, which should match the available
AC power source. If not, an appropriate
power cord can be ordered from the factory.
Optional DC Power
The NewrCasrer VT2 Transmitter features an
optional built-in power supply that accepts DC
from +11 to +32VDC. The NewsCasrer VTZ
automatically adapts the input voltage without
any internal jumpers or switch settings. The
rear of the unit has two terminals: (—) is for
GN'D, and (+) is for the +12VDC connection.
Video
All inputs are made via clearly marked rear
panel connectors. Composite video or
composite Baseband input is through a BNC
jack labeled VIDEO EV. SDI or ASI inputs can
be made via the SDI or ASI EN connectors.
(Refer to Figure 9, Detail 3 and Detail 4.)
Simply connect a 75 Q coaxial cable from the
video source to the appropriate connector.
When power is applied, the precise input can
be selected Available video inputs and
outputs are:
- SDI (Input) — (Serial Digital
Interface) This signal combines both
digital audio and digital video into one
signal.
0 ASI (Input & Output) —
(Asynchronous Serial Interface)
Similar to SDI, this signal combines
both digital audio and digital video
into one signal. The Output ASI
connector provides an output of the
encoded MPEG stream, and can be
used to feed a satellite modulator or
external transport stream multiplexer
0 Video (Input) — It is an analog video
signal that is proportional to the
received signal deviation. For use with
Composite and Baseband Video
70 MHz Connectors
There are both 70MHz input and output ports,
which are 75 Q coaxial cable connections.
The output connector can be hooked to a
monitor or another transmitter, while the input
port allows a feed from an external modulator.

4.7 RF HEAD MECHANICAL
INSTALL
Nucomrn offers standard and extended power
output configurations for the mast unit. (Refer
to Figure 36 for typical mounting.) The
standard power setup consists of a single RF
head. The extended power output option
consists of two RF heads (one containing the
up-converter, P&T, PSU,and Antenna
Controls; and the other containing the High
Power Amplifier).
In a typical installation ofNucomm's
NewrCaster VTZ, the RF Head(s) are mounted
on the Pan & Tilt mechanism, which is
attached to a pneumatic mast atop an ENG/OB
van.
To ease the mounting of the RF Head(s) to the
Pan & Tilt, a mounting adapter plate is
available (Figure 25). This plate is first
mounted to the Pan & Tilt with (4) 1/4-
20xr750" flat head screws, then the RF
Head(s) are mounted to the adapter plate(s).
For cases when the mounting adapter plate is
not used, the hole pattern of the RF Hem-Ks)
base plate has been provided (Figure 22).
Mount the RF Unit so that the heat sink fins
are vertical during operation. (Refer to
Figure 23
RF Head Electrical Install
Connections for the RF Head are shown in
Figures 15 through 21. Location numbers are
provided for cross-reference between the
Figure and descriptions.
Interconnect
Figures 6 and 7 show the interconnections
between the NewsCarter VT2 Control Unit
and the mast mounted RF Unit (and the
optional High Power Amplifier). To assist in
preparing the Control and Monitor cable,
connector pin assignments and recommended
wire sizes are provided. When Triax or
Belden 1694 are used, the only conductors
required to pass through the Nycoil for
standard operation are the coax (or Triax)
cable (for power, data, and 70 MHle) and
power conductors for the Pan & Tilt Option.
An auxiliary power cable is required if using
75 Q RG—59 (or optional 50 Q RG-58).

NYCOIL ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Most broadcasters use a coiling cable conduit (cg, ”Nye-oil”) between the truck control unit and the
top of the mast,
The Nycoil Cable conduit is essentially a preformed housing in the shape of a coil spring When
nested the coils stack in 15 " diameter circles one above the other around the antenna mast. This
protects the cables inside the housing and prevents them from becoming entangled. As the mast is
extended, the coils separate like a coil spring,
The coiling cable conduit length should be two times the difference between the extended and nested
heights of the mast.
Table 8 shows recommended coiling cable lengths for a typical "Nycoil" cable assembly‘
