Use of the product for its intended purpose is assumed if the product is used in accordance with the specifications given in the associated product documentation and within its performance limits (see the data sheet, documentation and the following safety instruc- System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 12 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions tions). Use of the product requires specialist knowledge and, in part, knowledge of the English language. It is therefore important to ensure that the product is operated only by specialist personnel and persons with the appropriate skills who have received detailed instruction in how to operate the product. If personnel protective equipment is required for the operation of Rohde & Schwarz products, this is indicated at the appropriate point in the product documentation. Keep the basic safety instructions and product documentation in a safe place and pass them on to subsequent users of the product. Observance of the safety instructions is intended to prevent injury or damage resulting from hazards of all types. It is therefore necessary that intended users carefully read and understand the following safety instructions before and during use of the product. It is also essential to observe all other safety instructions (e.g. relating to personnel protection) which are given at appropriate points in the product documentation. In these safety instructions, the term "product" refers to all articles sold and marketed by the Rohde & Schwarz company group; these include instruments, installations and all accessory items. Signal words and their meaning The following signal words are used in the product documentation to warn of risks and hazards. indicates an immediate high-risk hazard which will result in death or serious injury if it is not avoided. indicates a potential medium-risk hazard which can result in death or (serious) injury if it is not avoided. indicates a low-risk hazard which could result in minor or medium injury if it is not avoided. indicates possible incorrect operation which could result in damage to the product. These signal words correspond to the definitions customary in the European Economic Area for civil applications. In addition to this definition, there may also be varying definitions used in other economic areas or for military applications. It is therefore important to note that the signal words described here are used only in connection with the associated product documentation and the associated product. The use of signal words in connection System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 13 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions with non-associated products or non-associated documentation can lead to incorrect interpretation and thus result in injury and damage. Operating conditions, positions and locations The product should only be operated in the operating conditions, positions and locations specified by the manufacturer such that ventilation is not obstructed. Non-observance of the manufacturer specifications can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious or (under certain circumstances) fatal injury. All work must be performed in compliance with the local or country-specific safety and accident prevention regulations. 1.

Do not place the product on appliances that generate heat (e.g. radiators and fan heaters). The ambient temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in the data sheet. Overheating of the product can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious or (under certain circumstances) fatal injury. Electrical safety Non-observance or inadequate observance of the instructions concerning electrical safety can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious or (under certain circumstances) fatal injury. 1. Before switching on the product, always make sure that the nominal voltage set at the product matches the nominal AC voltage of power supply network. If it is necessary to change the voltage setting, it may also be necessary to change the associated AC supply fuse of the product. 2. In the case of products of protection class I with movable power supply line and plug connector, operation is only permitted at sockets with protective contact and connected PE conductor. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 14 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions 3. Any deliberate interruption of the PE conductor (both along the feed line and at the product itself) is not permitted. This can result in a potential shock hazard at the product. If extension cables or multipoint connectors are used, it must be ensured that their safety is checked at regular intervals. 4. If the product is not equipped with a power switch to disconnect it from the power supply, the plug on the connecting cable must be used to disconnect the power supply. In such cases, it must be ensured that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all times (length of connecting cable approx. 2 m). Function switches or electronic switches are not suitable for disconnecting the product from the power supply. If products without power switch are integrated in racks or systems, the disconnecting device must be provided at system level. 5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check at regular intervals that the power cable is in perfect condition. Take suitable precautions and use suitable cable installation methods to ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged and personnel cannot be injured (e.g. as a result of electric shock or tripping over cables). 6. Operation is only permitted in TN/TT supply networks which are fuse-protected with max. 16 A (higher fuse ratings should only be used after consultation with the Rohde & Schwarz company group). 7. Do not insert the plug into dusty or dirty sockets. Insert the plug firmly and completely into the sockets provided. Disregard of these points can lead to sparks, fire and/or injury. 8. Do not overload the sockets, extension cables or multipoint connectors as this can cause fire or electric shocks. 9. In the case of measurements in electrical circuits with voltages Urms > 30 V, appropriate measures must be taken to avoid all hazards (e.g. suitable measuring equipment, fuse protection, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation, etc.). 10. In the case of connections to IT equipment (e.g. PCs or industrial computers), it must be ensured that such connections satisfy the applicable IEC60950‑1/EN60950‑1 or IEC61010‑1/EN61010‑1. 11. Unless explicitly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in operation. Electrical lines and components will otherwise be exposed, which can lead to injury, fire or damage to the product. 12. If the product is connected at a fixed location, the connection between the on‑site PE conductor connection and the instrument PE conductor must be set up before any other connections are made. Installation and connection should only be performed by an electrician. 13. In the case of permanently installed equipment without built‑in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective devices, the supply circuit must be fused in such a way that personnel who have access to the product, as well as the product itself, are adequately protected. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 15 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions 14. Every product must be protected against overvoltage (e.g. as a result of a lightning strike) by means of appropriate overvoltage protection. The operating personnel are otherwise at risk of electric shock. 15. Foreign objects must not be inserted into the openings of the housing. This can cause short circuits in the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injury. 16. Unless otherwise specified, products are not protected against the penetration of fluids; see also the section "Operating conditions, positions and locations", point 1. The instruments must therefore be protected against the penetration of fluids. If this point is disregarded, there is a risk of electric shock for the user or of damage to the product, which in turn can also endanger personnel. 17. Do not use the product under conditions in which condensation could occur (or may already have occurred) in or on the product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold environment into a warm environment. Water penetration increases the risk of electric shock. 18. Before cleaning the product, fully disconnect it from the power supply (e.g. power supply network or battery). Clean instruments using a soft, lint-free dust cloth. Never use chemical cleaning agents such as alcohol, acetone or cellulose thinner. Operation 1. Use of the product requires special instruction and full concentration during use. It must be ensured that persons who operate the product are fit to do so from a physical, intellectual and mental viewpoint, otherwise there is a risk of injury or damage. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable personnel to use the product. 2. Before moving or transporting the product, read and observe the information in the section "Transport" on page 18. 3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, it is not possible to completely rule out the use of materials which cause allergies, i.e. "allergens" (e.g. nickel). If, when using Rohde & Schwarz products, allergic reactions occur (e.g. skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory problems), consult a doctor immediately in order to determine the cause and to prevent health problems. 4. Before mechanically and/or thermally processing or dismantling the product, it is essential to refer to the section "Disposal" on page 18, point 1. 5. Owing to the inherent functional design of certain products (e.g. RF radio systems), increased electromagnetic radiation may be produced. In order to protect unborn life, pregnant women must be protected by means of suitable measures. Electromagnetic radiation also poses a risk to persons with pacemakers. The employer/operator is obliged to assess and identify workplaces where there is a particular risk of exposure to radiation, and to take precautions to prevent potential hazards. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 16 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions 6. In the event of fire, toxic substances (gases, fluids, etc.) can be discharged from the product and damage the health of personnel. If a fire occurs, appropriate measures must therefore be taken (e.g. breathing masks and protective clothing). 7. If a laser product is integrated in an Rohde & Schwarz product (e.g. CD/DVD drive), no settings or functions other than those described in the product documentation should be used in order to prevent injury (e.g. from the laser beam). Repair and servicing 1. The product should be opened by authorized specialist personnel only. Before any work is performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from the supply voltage, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock. 2. Any adjustments, part replacements, maintenance or repairs should be carried out only by authorized Rohde & Schwarz electricians. If safety‑relevant parts (e.g. power switches, power transformers or fuses) are to be changed, they must always be replaced with original parts. A safety check must be performed after safety‑relevant parts have been replaced (visual inspection, PE conductor test, insulation resistance measurement, leaking current measurement, functional check). This ensures that the product remains safe to use. Batteries and rechargeable batteries/cells Non-observance or inadequate observance of the instructions concerning electrical safety can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious or (under certain circumstances) fatal injury.Batteries and rechargeable batteries with alkaline electrolyte (e.g. lithium cells) must be handled in line with EN62133. 1. Cells must not be disassembled, opened or crushed. 2. Lithium batteries must not be exposed to high temperatures or fire. Do not store or place batteries in direct sunlight. Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean dirty terminals using a dry, clean cloth. 3. Cells and batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells and batteries must not be stored in a potentially hazardous manner in a box or drawer where they can short-circuit each other or can be short-circuited by other conductive materials. A cell or battery should only be taken out of its original packaging when it is to be used. 4. Keep cells and batteries out of the reach of children. If a cell or battery has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately. 5. Do not subject cells and batteries to severe mechanical jolts or impacts. 6. If a cell is leaking, do not allow the fluid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If the fluid does come into contact with the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical assistance. 7. There is a risk of explosion if cells or batteries containing alkaline electrolyte (e.g. lithium cells) are replaced or charged incorrectly. To ensure that the product remains System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 17 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 General Safety Instructions safe to use, always replace cells or batteries with the appropriate R&S type (see the replacement parts list). 8. Cells or batteries must be recycled and must not be disposed of with residual waste. Rechargeable batteries or batteries containing lead, mercury or cadmium must be disposed of as special waste. Observe the country‑specific disposal and recycling regulations. Transport 1. The product can be extremely heavy. It must therefore be moved and transported carefully and, if necessary, using suitable lifting gear (e.g. lift truck) in order to prevent injuries to the back and other parts of the body. 2. Handles on the products are handling aids which are only intended for persons transporting the product. The handles are not to be used for securing the product to or on transport equipment (e.g. cranes, forklift trucks, carts, etc.). It is your responsibility to ensure that the products are attached securely to or on suitable transport or lifting equipment. Observe the safety regulations from the manufacturer of the used transport or lifting equipment in order prevent injury to personnel and damage to the product. 3. If you use the product in a vehicle, it is the responsibility of the driver to drive the vehicle in a safe and appropriate manner. The manufacturer shall not be liable for accidents or collisions. Never use the product in moving vehicle if there is a risk that this could distract the vehicle driver. Make sure that the product is adequately secured in order to prevent injury or further damage in the event of an accident. Disposal 1. If products or their components are processed mechanically and/or thermally beyond the scope of the operating conditions for which they were intended, hazardous materials (dust containing heavy metals such as lead, beryllium, nickel) can be released. The product should therefore be dismantled by specially trained personnel only. Incorrect dismantling can cause damage to health. The national regulations concerning disposal must be observed. 2. If, when handling the product, hazardous materials or operating fluids are encountered which must be disposed of separately (e.g. coolant or engine oils that have to be changed at regular intervals), the safety instructions from the manufacturer of these hazardous materials and operating fluids, and the applicable local disposal regulations must be observed. Also observe any additional relevant safety instructions in the product documentation. Incorrect disposal of hazardous materials or operating fluids can result in damage to health and the environment. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 18 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 Special Hazard Information 2.3 Special Hazard Information 2.3.1 Hazards from AC Supply Voltage All voltages of Urms > 30 V AC or U > 60 V DC must be regarded as constituting a shock hazard. When working with voltages that constitute a shock hazard, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent exposure to danger. Never work on live components. Work on live parts should only be performed in exceptional cases and only if special safety precautions are taken. 2.3.1.1 2.3.1.2 AC Power Supply ● Before connecting the AC power supply, it is important to ensure that the power supply specifications given for the system or instruments match the nominal specifications for the local power supply network. The power supply circuit must be protected by means of fuses in order to prevent overloads and short circuits. ● Miniature modules have neutral conductor fuses. As a result, the power supply may still be connected even after interruption of the circuit by a fuse. Changing Fuses ● Fuses which are accessible to the operator should only be changed after the instruments have been disconnected from the power supply. They must always be replaced with fuses that have the same electrical rating, tripping characteristics and breaking capacity. ● Motor protection switches and automatic line fuses in those parts of a transmitter system that can be accessed by users must be tripped. If their response range is adjustable, the ex‑factory setting must not be altered. If settings are changed inadvertently, the correct values specified in this documentation must be set. 2.3.2 Hazards from High‑Energy Electric Circuits The instruments contain low-voltage circuits that can be fed from a voltage source with an extremely low impedance (e.g. amplifier operating voltage). These circuits carry dangerously high levels of energy. At Rohde & Schwarz, we treat these circuits in the same way as circuits with hazardous contact voltages. Normally, these circuits are protected by covers to prevent unintentional contact. The cover has a warning label. In practice it has been repeatedly shown that short circuits caused by small metallic tools result in severe burns. For safety reasons, any high‑energy electric circuits in areas of the equipment that can be accessed by users are concealed by protective covers. ● Exercise the same amount of caution for measurements on low‑impedance voltages (e.g. for repair purposes) that you would when performing measurements on operating voltages which constitute a shock hazard. Wear suitable protective gear when necessary. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 19 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 Special Hazard Information ● Before opening any equipment or removing a particular cover, turn off the power supply and wait 5 minutes to ensure that capacitors have discharged sufficiently. ● Do not discharge capacitors by short‑circuiting them. 2.3.3 Hazards from RF Radiation 2.3.3.1 Obligation to Instruct Personnel ● The operator must train all personnel in the operation of this transmitter or instrument in line with EN60215 and/or IEC215. It is essential that these regular training sessions emphasize the dangers related to high frequency that exist at the respective transmitter or instrument. Operating personnel are only authorized to adjust and operate the equipment after they have completed the respective training sessions and their participation has been documented. High‑energy RF circuits inside the transmitter or instrument are routed via conventional removable RF connectors (e.g. type N). Depending on the output power, the output ports of the transmitter and instrument are equipped with screw-type or plug-in RF lines or ducts. If RF lines or modules carry high power, the connection point or the entire module is tagged with the general danger warning label (yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark). 2.3.3.2 RF Shielding Transmitters and instruments from Rohde & Schwarz are shielded so that even in the immediate vicinity there is no danger from RF radiation when all RF lines are connected. This applies to statutory provisions in Germany, i.e. the regulation concerning electromagnetic fields: Limits for electrical and magnetic field strengths of high‑frequency installations are defined in the 26th ordinance of the German Federal Government's Emission Control Act of December 16, 1996 (26. BImSchV). 2.3.3.3 Rules When Operating an Amplifier Disconnecting RF lines that are in operation can result in arcs. These can cause burns and eye injuries. ● Operation of the amplifier is only permitted if a main or dummy antenna is connected ● Never disconnect RF lines when the amplifier is in operation ● Never open the amplifier or modules when the amplifier is in operation ● Never operate the amplifier if RF lines are exposed System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 20 Safety Instructions R&S® TMU9 Special Hazard Information 2.3.3.4 Rules When Working on an Open Amplifier Operation with RF power is not permitted if the instrument has been opened or covers have been removed. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 21 R&S® TMU9 Safety Instructions Special Hazard Information System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 22 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 3 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 3.1 Design and Function R&S TMU9 The TV transmitters of the R&S TMU9 transmitter family support the following standards. With DTV operation: ● DVB-T/H ● DVB‑T2 ● ATSC/ATSC Mobile ● ISDBTB This manual describes the TV transmitters of the R&S TMU9 transmitter family, which support the DVB-T/H, DVB-T2, ATSC and ISDBTB standards. 3.1.1 Rack Design The air-cooled transmitters of the R&S TMU9 series are designed as rack transmitters. The exciters (TCE900 exciter) and the transmitter control units (TCE900 SystemControl for MultiTx, N+1, and dual drive) are each installed horizontally above their associated output stages. When partially and fully equipped, the power distribution with main switches is on the bottom of the front. Installing customer instruments in the upper part of the rack is an option, depending on the transmitter configuration. A maximum of 6 power amplifiers (3.5 RU) can be installed in a rack, depending on the configuration. The output stage of a single transmitter can contain up to 5 power amplifiers. 3.1.2 Arrangement of the R&S TCE900 Instruments and System Components The R&S TCE900 instruments are always arranged according to the same rules for all applications. ● On top of the rack there are 1 to 3 optional customer rackmounts (depending on the configuration), followed by the TCE900-SystemControl or the TDU900 display unit.. ● The rackmounts for the TCE900 units and the amplifiers of a transmitter are under the TDU900 display unit (required for MultiTx and N+1 transmitter systems, otherwise optional). One to three TCE900 units per transmitter are required, depending on the system (single drive, dual drive, backup drive). System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 23 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 In the following, different examples of transmitters with maximum configuration are displayed. Fig. 3-1: TMU 9 – Multi Tx single drive with six transmitters. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 24 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Fig. 3-2: TMU9 – Multi Tx dual drive with five transmitters. 3.1.3 Redundancy Concepts Single transmitter (single drive) This simplest variant for medium-power transmitters consists of an exciter (R&S TCE900Exciter) and an output stage. The redundancy in this transmitter type is exclusively in the output stage, which can consist of n amplifiers (n = max. of 5 per rack). System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 25 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Fig. 3-3: Single Drive - block diagram. Dual drive This variant of a dual-drive transmitter consists of a transmitter control unit (R&S TCE900SystemControl), two exciters (R&S TCE900 exciter), an exciter switch, and an output stage. If one of the exciters fails, the transmitter control unit uses the exciter switch automatic to switch to the second exciter via moving the exciter switch. The redundancy properties of the output stage correspond to those of a single transmitter. One rack from the R&S TMU9 series offers space for a maximum of five transmitters as a dual-drive solution. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 26 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Fig. 3-4: Dual Drive - block diagram Backup drive This variant of a dual-drive transmitter consists of 2 exciters (R&S TCE900 exciter) with various functions, an exciter switch, and an output stage. In contrast to the dual-drive solution, with the backup drive a TCE900-System Control is not necessary. By default, the program exciter (R&S TCE900 program exciter) is connected to the output stage and supplies the modulation signal. The control exciter (R&S TCE900 control exciter) monitors the program exciter and switches to the output stage if the program exciter fails. A rack of the R&S TMU9 series offers space for a maximum of 5 transmitters as a backup drive solution. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 27 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Fig. 3-5: Backup drive – block diagram. 3.1.4 Applications MultiTx transmitters can be combined with any kind of redundancy. Consequently, however, the possible maximum number of transmitters in a rack decreases. Theoretically possible structure in the rack: Transmitter type per rack Single transmitter 6 single transmitters (with one amplifier for each transmitter) Dual drive 5 transmitters with dual drive (with one amplifier for each transmitter) N+1 4 + 1 system (with one amplifier for each transmitter) A rack of the R&S TMU9 series offers space for a maximum of 6 single transmitters, each with one amplifier. Transmitter constellation with MultiTx systems The MultiTx application presupposes a combination of similar transmitters. In this case, there are different options: MultiTx transmitter with 1 amplifier / Tx System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 28 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Up to 6 single transmitters can be integrated for each rack. Up to 5 dual drives can be installed for each rack. MultiTx transmitters each with 2 amplifiers / Tx Up to 3 single transmitters can be integrated for each rack. Up to 3 dual drives can be installed for each rack. Fig. 3-6: MultiTx transmitters, each with 2 amplifiers per transmitter. Tx = Transmitters 1 to 3 Amp x = Amplifiers 1 to 2 per transmitter MultiTx transmitters each with 3 amplifiers / Tx Up to 2 single transmitters can be integrated for each rack.

Characteristics Var. 21 (2600.1370.21) Supply voltage 230 V: L1, L2, or L3 to N Main switch Q1 designed for max. 63 A Protective contacts (optional) designed for max. 10 A Protection Single-pole circuit breakers F1 to F6: 20 A Single-pole circuit breakers F7 to F20: 6 A System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 30 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Characteristics Var. 21 (2600.1370.21) Overvoltage protection A101 One overvoltage arrester for each of L1, L2, L3, and Connectors for max. 20 devices Function See circuit diagram 2600.1370.01 S. The supply voltage is routed to network access terminal X1 with three phases (L1, L2, L3, N). As an option, the two-pin switches can also be connected with the auxiliary contacts (each 1 phase and N). The individual phases are routed from X1 to main switch Q1 via cable W1E. Q1 enables the total load to be switched on and off at all poles. The voltage is routed with three phases from Q1 to overvoltage protection A101, which contains one overvoltage arrester for each phase. Any overvoltage is diverted via W1T and X1.PE to PE. Via W1T, the individual phases L1, L2, and L3 are each routed to circuit breakers F1 to F20, so that 230 V are present there with respect to N. The outputs of the circuit breakers are connected to output terminal strip X2 via cables W2A, W3A, and W3B. A max. of 20 loads are connected to X2. Thus each load is protected against overcurrent by a circuit breaker. Circuit breakers F1 to F6 trigger at 20 A and serve to protect the amplifiers. Circuit breakers F7 to F20 trigger at 6 A and serve to protect the TCEs, the fans of an exhaust kit (optional), or any customer instruments. Standby power supply (with amplifiers) If an optional standby power supply is installed for an amplifier, the main and standby power supplies operate in parallel, each at half power. If one of the two power supplies drops out, the functional one operates as the power supply at full power. Amplifiers not including a standby power supply are connected to L, N, and PE (network output terminal X2) using a 3-wire cable. When using a standby power supply, a 5-wire cable is used to connect to L1, L2, N1, N2, and PL1, since now the main and standby power supplies are protected by a separate circuit breaker. 3.1.5.2 Transmitter Control Unit The transmitter control unit contains the following components: ● R&S TCE900 SysCtrl The transmitter control unit is responsible for both internal and external communications, including all control functions. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 31 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 The current status of the transmitter system can optionally be shown on a straightforward color display via the R&S TDU900. 3.1.5.3 TSP900 (Transmitter Status Panel) The TSP900 allows local operation of a transmitter. One TSP900 is allocated to each transmitter (single drive, dual drive, backup drive) and is fastened to the front panel of the respective transmitter. Fig. 3-9: TSP900 (Transmitter Status Panel) For single drive, dual drive, and backup drive transmitters with optional TDU900, the TSP900 (keys and LEDs) are active in parallel with the TDU900.

Instead, only a transmitter sum warning is displayed for the exciter automatic switchover function. 3.1.5.4 Exciter and System Components The exciter consists of the following components: ● Exciter ● Exciter switch (for exciter standby only) ● CAN bus adapter (for single drive only) ● TS distributor (optional) Exciter The R&S TCE900 exciter performs all signal processing from the audio/video input signal or transport stream signal up to an RF output signal that complies with the relevant standards. For additional information, refer to the TCE900 instrument manual. Exciter Switch With dual-drive transmitters (dual drive), the exciter switch switches to the standby exciter in the following cases: ● If the main exciter malfunctions ● If there is a manual switchover via the R&S TCE900 SysCtrl The exciter switch is controlled by the exciter switch automatic, which is operating on both TCE900-Exciters redundant, CAN Bus Adapter The CAN adapter is required for communication between the individual system components (output stage and CAN bus-capable test point) and the transmitter control unit (for single drive only). TS Distributor The transport stream (TS) distributor distributes the input signal to the respective exciter (for dual drive only). 3.1.5.5 Output Stage Unit The air-cooled R&S PMU901 amplifier is a broadband unit that operates as a power amplifier in the frequency range from 470 MHz to 862 MHz with the following TV standards: ● Digital (DTV) standards: DVB-T/H, DVB-T2, ATSC, ATSC Mobile, ISDBTB ● Analog (ATV) standards: ATVc (combined) B/G, D/K, K1, I, I1 System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 34 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 For additional information, refer to chapter 5.1, "Design and Function R&S PMU901", on page 73. 3.1.5.6 OSKAR Coupler Module The acronym OSKAR stands for harmonics filter, splitter, coupler, absorber, and directional coupler (Oberwellenfilter, Splitter, Koppler, Absorber, Richtkoppler). The OSKAR coupler module is a complete functional unit with the following functions: ● RF signal distribution (splitter) ● RF signal combination (coupler) ● Cooling system of the coupler and the load compensation resistors by arranging the coupler in the exhaust air flow of the amplifier ● Integrated harmonics filter for either band IV or band V ● Three directional coupler test points as separate sensors: – CAN bus-capable test point (forward/reflected power), frequency response-compensated – ADE test point (forward/reflected power) – Free test point (forward/reflected power, optional) The directivity of the test points is at ≈ 34 dB. Depending on how many amplifier output signals are to be combined, the following four different coupler versions can be used. 3.1.5.7 ● 2-way coupler/splitter for an output stage with 2 power amplifiers ● 3-way coupler/splitter for an output stage with 3 power amplifiers ● 4-way coupler/splitter for an output stage with 4 power amplifiers ● 5-way coupler/splitter for an output stage with 5 power amplifiers External Directional Coupler (GD901/902) An external directional coupler can be used to measure the transmitter output power for transmitters with an amplifier. You can select either the GD901 or the GD902 with one or two measurement connections for the forward and reflected power (connection to main line 7-16). 3.1.5.8 Bandpass Filter A UHF channel bandpass filter is provided downstream of the amplifiers to reduce outof-band interference. In the signal path, the bandpass filter is located before the harmonics filter. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 35 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 3.1.5.9 RF Connector The RF connector (EIA flange) is on the transmitter roof (alternatively, it can also be located at the base of the transmitter). The size (diameter) of the RF connector is 1 5/8". 3.1.5.10 Parallel Remote Control Interface The parallel remote control interface is used to operate the transmitter from a remote location via parallel wire connections (not a computer interface). You can use a remote operator position to issue commands (ON, OFF, etc.) or to receive messages from the transmitter, such as status messages (TRANSMITTER ON).

Messages 67 to 80 are applied to X205B. NO contacts are available for message 57 to 66 and 67 to 72; all others have DT contacts. Connectors for Connecting Remote Control Equipment Special "D-Sub tandem connectors" are used. Possible designations for an X201 connector are X201A and X201B. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 37 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 The designation of the connector pin indicates the respective half of the tandem connector. Example: Command 1 is applied to connector X101, pin 1A. The command can be input at connector pin 1 of connector 101A. Command Inputs All command inputs are operated via optocouplers with a floating supply voltage that is generated on the module. A command input becomes active by means of a connection to the common command line. Both continuous signals and pulse signals are permitted. With pulse signals, a minimum pulse length of 100 ms must be ensured. With continuous operation, the signal which became active last is rejected in the case of mutually exclusive signals. Example: The TRANSMITTER ON command is valid and the TRANSMITTER OFF command is issued. The TRANSMITTER OFF command stays invalid for as long as the first ON command is active. The command inputs are distributed between two 25-pin D-Sub sockets (X101A, X101B). Message Outputs All message outputs are implemented by means of floating relay contacts. A message is valid when the contact is in its closed state. Normally-open (NO) contacts and, to a limited extent, normally-closed (NC) contacts are available for this purpose. Relays with bistable switching characteristics are reserved for the local/remote messages of the corresponding function groups. The module can be used universally for FM, DAB, and TV transmitters. It contains the consecutively numbered commands COMMAND 1 to COMMAND 32 and the consecutively numbered message outputs MESSAGE 1 to MESSAGE 80. Assignment to Transmitter Functions The messages or commands are assigned to the transmitter functions according to the used configuration via a routing program stored in the higher-level control unit. During the configuration phase, this program assigns the command inputs and message outputs their logical meaning according to the functional use of the module. Communication between Remote Control Interface and Transmitter Data is exchanged with the R&S TCE900 SysCtrl unit via an internal CAN bus. The transmitter control unit also provides the operating voltage for the remote control interface. CAN Bus The remote control interface has an internal 9-pin CAN bus D-Sub plug X1 and a 9-pin CAN bus D-Sub socket X11. The module receives its power supply (+12V) via the CAN bus plug X1. System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 38 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Single Transmitter and Standby System In a single transmitter, the remote control interface is directly connected to the TCE900 SysCtrl via the CAN bus plug X1. The X11 socket remains free. In standby systems, the CAN bus is connected to further n+1 modules via X11. 3.1.5.11 Exhaust Kit (optional) The exhaust kit allows the transmitter to be connected to a central ventillation system at the transmitter station or for the hot air from the transmitter to be vented directly outside. Two differential pressure sensors (1) are used to measure the pressure inside the frame enclosure with reference to the outside air pressure. Through the ACIF of the TCF, the RPM of the two fans (2) are regulated with the aim of maintaining normal air pressure within the enclosed frame. Fig. 3-10: Mutli Tx transmitter with exhaust kit 1 = Differential pressure sensors 2 = Fans System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 39 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 This option cannot be ordered separately and subsequently installed in the transmitter system, since some modules or components have to be preassembled at the factory. The cooling system consists of the following modules or components: ● ● Exhaust kit TM9-C1 – Fans E1, E2 – Differential pressure sensors S1, S2 – Temperature sensor B2 – Exhaust air transfer duct Air cooling interface (ACIF) (option to the TCE900 TxControl transmitter control unit) The air cooling interface (ACIF) is used to establish the connection from the TM9-C1 exhaust kit to the TCE900 SysCtrl unit. The ACIF serves in part to control speed and monitor the fans and, where appropriate, to send error messages to the TCE900 SysCtrl. Pressure sensors S1 and S2 measure the pressure inside and outside of the rack. Thus, a pressure-neutral environment can be configured in the rack. Temperature sensor B2 measures the exhaust air temperature in the vicinity of the exhaust air transfer duct. Mains distribution unit ZR900Z10 protects fan E1 via circuit breaker F7 and fan E2 via circuit breaker F8. 3.1.6 Performance Features Efficiency The efficiency of a transmitter is correctable. This readjustment of the transmitter efficiency is done by modifying the DC supply of the power amplifier. To get an idea for transmitters that are not operated at the nominal power, the following estimation is permitted. Unew=√(Pnew/Pnom)*Unom Here, a linearity precorrection found at nominal power does not yet have to be adapted. Uninterruptible power supply To bridge extended power supply faults, the control and signal processing components present in the transmitter are equipped with a separate supply. The following options are available for an uninterruptible power supply: ● The "external UPS feed" option The external supply can be switched off via the main switch and supplies the transmitter control unit components and the exciters. Alternatively, one or more UPS devices can be installed in the option section of the rack. The UPS devices are 19" rackmounts with 1 HU. ● The "internal UPS" option The "internal UPS" option uses a UPS (additional purchase part) as a 19" instrument rackmount with 1 HU. The 3 free rack units (option section) are intended as the System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 40 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 defined installation location. This means it is not possible to equip all exciters and the transmitter control unit with an independent UPS for MultiTx in the full configuration. ● The "redundant voltage supply for the transmitter control unit (TCE900 CTRL)" option The transmitter control unit (TCE900 CTRL) has an optional "external supply" rackmount for an "+12 V external" supply. Emergency mode If the transmitter control unit has failed or communication with the transmitter components has been interrupted, the system is in emergency mode. This means the last operating states in all system components are saved to nonvolatile memory, with exception of the power amplifiers, for which the operation settings are saved only until the next restart. When restarted, the amplifiers are re-commanded by the active exciter. The system components maintain this operating state until other states are commanded by a new/repaired/replaced transmitter control unit. 3.1.7 Power Display and Reflection Monitor Displays The displays of the transmitter show the forward and reflected power of the transmitter output. The forward and reflected power is displayed with an accuracy better than ± 5 % of the nominal value. RF forward monitoring and messages For nominal power up until the warning level, the transmitter sends the messages RF ON and RF OK. If the configurable warning threshold (0 dB to -20 dB) is undershot, the transmitter sends the RF ON message and an additional warning message (RF WARNING). The RF OK message is canceled. If the configurable fault threshold (0 dB to -20 dB) is undershot, the transmitter cancels the RF ON message right away and issues an RF fault (RF FAIL) after a configurable waiting period (1 s to 20 s). Reflection warning A warning threshold is set to generate a reflection warning. The warning threshold lies between -18 dB and -28 dB and is the return loss in dB. Reflection fault The transmitter is switched off when the return loss is –17 dB to -14 dB (configurable) (corresponds to 1/50 to 1/20 of the forward power). It can be switched off by blocking the RF (RF carrier loop). System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 41 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Design and Function R&S TMU9 Within one minute after it has been switched off the first time, three attempts at switching it back on will be made. If there is still reflection after the last attempt to switch it on, the transmitter is permanently switched off (Output Stage will be switched off) and a "Reflection" fault message is generated. 3.1.8 Specifications 3.1.8.1 Transmitter System, General – DTV General DVB-T/-H Frequency range DVB-T2 ISDB-T ATSC 470 MHz to 862 MHz UHF band IV/V:(step size 1 Hz) Frequency range Doherty 470 MHz to 790 MHz Channel bandwidth 5/6/7/8 MHz 1.7/5/6/7/8 MHz 6/7/8MHz 6 MHz Standards EN 300744 EN 302755 ARIB STD-B31 FCC Doc.

Depending on the type of system, a transmitter rack of the THU9/TMU9 family can have a total weight of up to 720 kg with the maximum number of rackmounts installed. A weight to floor-area ratio of at least 1200 kg / m2 is therefore required. The exact weight of your transmitter is given in the specifications. The installation surface should be flat (i.e. horizontal along all axes) and measure at least 600 mm x 1100 mm to accommodate the transmitter rack. 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 without difficulty. Preparing openings required in the floor (only with inlets and outlets from below) If cables (RF cables, control lines, etc.) are to be connected to the transmitter from below, you must make appropriate floor openings in the building in which the transmitter is to be operated. Further details and dimensions can be found in the corresponding drawing in the appendix "Basic documentation": System Manual 2600.5423.02 ─ 01 52 Transmitter System R&S TMU9 R&S® TMU9 Installation R&S TMU9 3.2.3.2 Setting Up the Transmitter Rack The transmitter rack can be set up using lifting equipment (crane). Lifting lugs are attached to the top of the rack for this purpose. Crushing Hazard Do not stand under suspended racks. Risk of Falling Take the relevant safety precautions when climbing ladders (not wobbly, suitable footwear) 3.2.3.3 Aligning the Transmitter Rack The rack must be aligned vertically and horizontally in order to prevent distortion caused by shearing forces. ► Using the height-adjustable rack feet, align the rack such that it is vertical and horizontal along all axes. Use a water level to align the rack. 3.2.3.4 Bolting the Transmitter Rack to the Floor If required, the transmitter rack can be screwed to the floor or a floor frame. Two 12 mm boreholes are provided in the lower crossbeam of the transmitter rack for this purpose. 3.2.3.5 Removing the Front Panels Before you start installing the individual units, make sure that you have easy access to all units, connectors, and interfaces needed. 1.
