I-1 Section I - Safeguards General Safeguards This section is written as a general guide to keep all 5 fingers on your hand and is intended for those having previous knowledge and experience with these kinds of equipment. It is not intended to contain a complete statement of all safety precautions, which should be observed by personnel using this or other electronic equipment. DOCUMENTATION - Read, retain and follow instructions before operating the equipment. There is a lot of useful information in the manual, and besides, we spent a lot of time writing it! ENVIRONMENT - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain, moisture, or rye and sodas at the company Christmas party. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself as opening or removing covers can result in a warm tingly feeling and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
I-2 Safety and First Aid Personnel engaged in the installation, operation, maintenance, or servicing of electronic equipment are exposed to the hazard of high voltage. It is imperative that all safety regulations and precautions are consistently observed. Knowledge of first aid procedures is recommended. The following information is presented as a reference only. • At all times, avoid placing any part of the body in series between ground and circuit points, whether power is on or off. • Dangerous voltage may be present in equipment even though power is off. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. • It is the duty of all personnel to be prepared to give adequate emergency first aid treatment and thereby prevent avoidable loss of life. • There are three principle degrees of burns, recognizable as follows: • a first-degree burn reddens the skin. • a second-degree burn blisters the skin. • a third degree burn chars the flesh and frequently places the victim in a state of shock accompanied by respiratory paralysis. • Respiratory paralysis can cause death by suffocation within seconds. It is imperative that the approved methods of artificial respiration are initiated immediately and continue until the victim’s breathing is normal. • A muscular spasm of unconsciousness may render the victim unable to break free of the electric power. If this is the case, turn the power off immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM OR YOU MAY SHARE THE SAME PREDICAMENT. • If the power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a dry rope, article of clothing, length of strong cloth or a rolled-up newspaper around the victim and pull the victim free of the power source. Carefully avoid touching the victim or clothing. • Once free of the power source, the victim must be placed in a reclining position and covered with a blanket or newspapers to keep warm. At the first opportunity, enlist help in summoning a doctor. If a doctor cannot be summoned, transport the victim to the doctor or a hospital. Be sure the victim is kept well covered and warm while awaiting professional treatment.
I-3 Operating Safeguards It is a known fact that our broadcast transmitters and translators enjoy 50-ohm load impedances. So much so, that it is imperative you maintain 50-ohm impedances throughout your system. In return, your equipment will provide you with maximum power transfer to the antenna and decreased reflected power heading back towards the amplifier pallets, reducing the amount of magic smoke that gets let out of the power amplifier. Before anything is turned on, ensure that there is a 50-ohm path from the output of each stage to the input of the next, all the way to the antenna. In addition to maintaining proper 50-ohm impedances throughout the signal chain, it is also important, whenever possible, to make sure the RF drive going to the input of the power amplifier is removed before turning on or turning off the DC power supply. This is because all of the RF transistors used in the individual amplifier pallets are fabricated with LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. Nice and linear yes, but they do not like to make any RF power when their supply voltages are not within a specific range. When you first turn your power amplifier on or off, the DC power supply’s output voltage may take a while to stable out to a safe operating voltage. Ten seconds wait before applying the RF drive will ensure no issues arise. Our power amplifiers are designed to reliably generate a specific RF output power. Failing to adhere to overdriven amplifier warnings can decrease the reliability of your system, and frankly, makes our repair department busy and grumpy. If you need to transmit to a little larger coverage, you are better off increasing antenna gain, and more importantly, antenna height above average terrain. On TV and FM broadcast frequencies, insufficient antenna height puts an upper limit on your range, regardless of power levels, as the distance from your antenna to the radio horizon is limited.

III-2 Principle of Operation The TAV-1000 power amplifier supplies a 1000-watt peak video signal with 10% aural power on any of the VHF television channels 2 through 13. Please note that channel selection must be made at time of order, as the transmitter or translator is calibrated and tested to the channel requested and is not field tuneable. The TAV-1000 power amplifier is a modular solid-state 1000-watt broadcast amplifier utilizing readily available RF components wherever possible, thus enhancing the serviceability of the equipment. The TAV-1000 features ultra linear amplification and individual channel RF output bandpass filtering. The amplifier modules are stable for high reliability and long service life. The amplification of the TAV-1000 is comprised of (2) TAV-500 500-watt power amplifiers. Firstly, the output of the modulator or processor gets split into (2) RF signals of equal amplitude. Each output of the 2-way power divider is then fed into a TAV-500 Power Amplifier. Finally, the outputs of each TAV-500 are combined to generate 1000-watts of peak visual power in addition to an aural carrier, as seen in the TAV-1000 block diagram.

III-4 Inside each 500-watt power amplifier, the RF signal enters through the RF Input connector on the power amplifier enclosure from the modulator or processor. It then passes through an RF attenuator to limit the output power level of the power amplifier and to help buffer any transients that may come into the power amplifier. After attenuation, the signal gets preamplified by a driver pallet before the signal gets split into (2) signals for final amplification. The output of the (2) final amplifier pallets are combined. Finally, the signal gets filtered with a Bandpass filter and monitored with a dual directional coupler before heading out to an antenna for broadcast.

III-6 After amplification, the signal exits the power amplifier enclosure and goes into the combiner/filter enclosure, where the signals from each 500-watt amplifier are combined. After combining, the amplified signals are filtered with a bandpass filter and monitored again with another directional coupler before heading out to an antenna for broadcast, as depicted in the following combiner block diagram.

III-8 Specifications The following specifications were taken with a Technalogix modulator/processor. Should a different modulator or processor be used, specifications could vary. For this reason, we recommend that any different modulator/processor be shipped to Technalogix so the system can be matched and set up optimally. In addition, the audio/video ratio the input to the power amplifier needs to be –10 dB in order for the software and LCD readout to be accurate. All specifications below were taken with the audio/video ratio set -10dB.

IV-1Section IV – RF Components Amplifier Pallets The PA25-VHF pallet is a two stage ultra linear class-A linear pallet. The PA25-VHF-L has a typical gain of 40dB and the PA25-VHF-H has a typical gain of 34dB. These pallets draw no more than 3.0Adc total drain current (the exact bias and drain currents of your system are found in the spec sheet supplied with each manual). The quiescent and drain currents can be measured on the PA25-VHF pallet by measuring the voltage drop across the current sense resistor found directly at the DC power supply lead input to the pallet. This resistance is 0.01-ohms, providing a 10mV per ampere ratio. The final amplifier stages are comprised of (2) P400-VHF-L or P400-VHF-H amplifier pallets and are each characterized with minimum gains of 18 dB (low band) or 15 dB (high band) and maximum drain currents of 28 A (low-band) or 20 A (high-band). All currents on the driver and final stages can be measured across the on-board shunt resistor (0.01-ohm) found at the DC supply inputs. With this resistance, a 1mV reading across this resistor indicates a current draw of 1.0A.

IV-4Power Divider/Combiner (internal to each TAV-500 enclosure) A Wilkinson power divider and combiner (identical printed circuit boards) are used to split the RF signal into, and combine the amplified RF signal out of the (2) P400-VHF final amplifier pallets. Flanged power resistors help ensure that any differences between the inputs or outputs is balanced. The Wilkinson design takes advantage of the fact that an impedance transformation can take place across a quarter-wavelength transmission line if the line has a different impedance than the source or load impedances being matched. In this case, quarter-wavelengths of 75-ohm coaxial are used to maintain 50-ohm impedances at the input and output of the Wilkinson divider/combiner. Due to its electrical and mechanical symmetry, the Wilkinson design’s performance over moderate bandwidths is superior to other types. This design maintains phase and amplitude equality, in addition to providing isolation and matched outputs. Final Combiner (internal to combiner enclosure) The RF outputs from the (2) TAV-500 amplifier modules then pass into a final enclosure where the signals are combined, then filtered and monitored once again. The combiner is a 2-way, 1000-watt isolated power combiner with a maximum phase imbalance of +/-1 degree. Minimum isolation is -18 dB and maximum insertion loss is -0.45 dB from 170 to 280 MHz. Minimum return loss from ports 1 to 2 (input to input) is -25 dB and -20 dB on port 3 (output).
IV-5Directional Coupler (internal to TAV-500 and combiner enclosures) The Technalogix dual directional couplers provide DC voltages proportional to forward and reflected RF power monitoring. These analog voltages are converted for processing using a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter and provide the control system with valuable data for monitoring purposes. The directional couplers installed in the power amplifier and filter enclosures have peak detection circuits on the forward RF power side of the coupler and average detection circuits on the reflected RF power side of the coupler. This is to allow the end user to set power in a manner that is more independent of modulation and closer to a true tip-of-sync meter. Hence, the readings on the displays in the power amplifier system are peak for forward and average for reflected. Output power should be set by the following procedure: THE POWER OUTPUT SHOULD NEVER BE ADJUSTED EXCEPT UNDER THE TEST CONDITIONS OF NO AURAL CARRIER, WITH THE VISUAL CARRIER MODULATED WITH SYNC AND BLANKING. The directional coupler has a typical insertion loss of 0.05dB and its Type N connectors can handle 1,500 watts peak. The coupler requires 8 to 8.5Vdc to power the internal electronics of the coupler and is supplied from the control printed circuit board at the front of each enclosure. Filter The passive bandpass filter rejects spurious and harmonic output products and passes the VHF channel RF output. The cavity resonator uses aperture coupling and is a linear resonator design. Typical insertion loss is 0.6 dB to 1.0 dB depending on channel frequency. Average roll off is –33 dBc at a point 4.5 MHz below the peak visual carrier frequency and –30 dBc 9.0 MHz above the peak visual carrier frequency. The filter is DC grounded on both the input and output for additional lightning protection.
V-1 Section V – Power Supply Switching AC-DC power supplies are used to power the amplifier pallets, the control circuits, and all of the fans. There are (2) power supplies paralleled in the power supply enclosure to generate the necessary current for the amplifier pallets. These (2) supplies are paralleled at 31.0 Vdc nominally and fed to the power amplifier enclosure via 4-AWG multi-stranded conductors and high current connectors. There are no power supplies internal to the power amplifier enclosure, with the exception of those found on the Series IIG control PCB. All fans run off this same supply, though they pass through a series dropping resistor to lower the supply voltage, as the fans are 24Vdc. A 24Vdc nominal power supply is located in the combiner enclosure. It simply supplies power to the control PCB and the cooling fan. The power supplies in the power supply enclosure are Mean Well PSP-1500. The power supply found in the filter enclosure is a Mean Well S60-24. The switching power supplies are fully protected against short circuit and output overload. Short circuit protection is a cycling type power limit. The internal AC fuse is designed to blow only on a catastrophic failure in the unit – the fuse does not blow on overload or short circuit. The thermal shutdown automatically recovers when the power supply chassis cools down. AC (220Vac) is fed into the power supply enclosure via a terminal block and then through a resettable circuit breaker. The AC for the combiner enclosure (110Vac) is fed through a filtered EMI AC entry. The current in the power supply is then current limited with a resettable circuit breaker before passing through a rocker switch. This switch turns the AC on and off to the switching power supply.

VI-1 Section VI – Monitor and Control System Control Board Overview (Series II-rev I) The control printed circuit boards (PCB) are located at the front of each enclosure connected directly to the back of the liquid crystal displays (LCD) and are identified as Series II – rev I PCBs. The main purpose of the Series II - rev I PCB is to monitor the RF power and the DC supply voltages in the power amplifier and filter enclosures and to monitor just the DC supply voltages in the power supply enclosure. In all cases, a DC voltage proportional to the parameter being sampled is conditioned, protected, buffered, and then run into an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) where software processes the signal. The software processing determines if the parameters are within the predetermined safe operating levels and displays the parameters on the LCD for monitoring purposes. The Series II - rev I PCB can be broken apart into (5) main component areas: the power supply, interface, signal processing, display, and microcontroller. Schematics are found later in this section. Power Supply Components There are (4) power supply voltages generated on the Series II – rev I PCB: 1. +5Vdc for all logic and general purpose PCB supply voltage. 2. +4Vdc for the LED backlighting on the LCD 3. -4Vdc for the contrast voltage required by the LCD 4. +5Vdc for the directional coupler supply The +5Vdc is generated from a small switching power supply comprised of C101, C102, D102, L101, and U101. This power supply accepts DC input voltages up to 40Vdc (unless U101 is an HV option, then the maximum input voltage is 60Vdc) and outputs +5Vdc at up to 1Adc. This voltage is always on, as the ON/OFF pin on U101 is hard-wired to the on configuration. C103, L102, and C104 form a noise choke to help filter and switching noise or RF noise that may radiate onto the control circuit board. The +4Vdc is generated from a small switching power supply comprised of components C105, C106, D103, L103, and U102. This power supply accepts DC input voltages up to 40Vdc (unless U102 is an HV option, then the maximum input voltage is 60Vdc) and outputs +5Vdc at up to 1Adc. The voltage then gets dropped down to +4Vdc through R101. This backlight voltage can be turned on and off via the ON/OFF pin on U102. The PCB is setup in a manner that allows this voltage to be hard-wired on all the time or controlled from the microcontroller through latch U111. This selection is made with jumper J102. The -4Vdc is generated using a switched capacitor voltage converter design, using components C109, C110, R102, R103, U104, and VR101. U4 accepts +5Vdc from the general purpose +5Vdc supply and generates -5Vdc. This voltage then gets dropped across the voltage divider (R102, R103) to generate the contrast voltage specific to the LCD that is installed in the system. The voltage required by the directional coupler is generated with a standard linear voltage regulator, U103. C107 and C108 helps clean up any ripple or noise that might be on the output voltage. In the standard configuration, where the directional coupler requires 5Vdc, the 5Vdc is simply taken from the U101 filtered power supply output.
VI-2 Interface Components The interface section of the Series II – rev I PCB includes the front panel switch interfacing in addition to the buzzer and carrier disable output circuits. The (4) membrane switches found on the front panels of each enclosure are tied to the microcontroller through an isolation stage to avoid any static discharge or noise on the switch wiring from reaching the microcontroller. Optoisolators U105 and U106, in addition to components R104…R115 create the necessary isolation to the sensitive microcontroller. By depressing any membrane switch, a ground (0V) is applied to the input of the optoisolators. The optoisolators will, in turn, output a ground (0V) to the microcontroller. The membrane switches found on the front panels of the enclosures operate in the following manner with a depress: POWER – When unit is plugged in, AC is supplied to the fan and switching power supply input, but the amplifiers are still turned off. In order to turn the amplifiers on, wait ten seconds after plugging the PA in and push in the “POWER” tactile button. The LCD will read “Soft Start Warm Up, Please Wait”. After ten seconds the bias voltages will be turned on and you may then plug in the RF drive. Depress for (1) second to turn on and (3) seconds to turn system off. In the case of multiple enclosures, all POWER switches are tied together in each enclosure, so only one needs to be depressed. NAVIGATE – Turns on backlight to LCD and displays forward and reflected RF power and DC supply voltage parameters. When power amplifier is first turned on, the LCD comes on automatically and this information is displayed. Information is displayed for approximately 2 minutes before the backlight turns off and the display is cleared. This is set up so as not to burn any pixels into the LCD from extended on time. In the case of multiple enclosures, the NAVIGATE switches are individual to each enclosure. SELECT – Turns on backlight to LCD and displays forward and reflected RF power and DC supply voltage parameters. When power amplifier is first turned on, the LCD comes on automatically and this information is displayed. Information is displayed for several minutes before the backlight turns off and the display is cleared. This is set up so as not to burn any pixels into the LCD from extended on time. In the case of multiple enclosures, the SELECT switches are individual to each enclosure.
VI-3 RESET – Tactile switch resets the monitor and control system. The amplifier gets shut down for under 0.5 seconds and comes back on with each depress of the reset button. At the same time, all fault counters in the microcontroller software are reset and the LCD is reset in the same manner as it is with a depress of the NAVIGATE button. Reset switches are individual to each enclosure but may be tied together externally through the remote port, as explained later in this section. The buzzer control comes from pin 7 on microcontroller U114. The control signal turns on the base of transistor Q101, which allows current to flow through the single tone magnetic buzzer. Jumper J105 simply turns off the buzzer. The carrier disable circuit simply applies a shutdown voltage to the driver pallet in the system. The U114 generates the signal out of pin 21 and controls transistor Q102 through R117. When Q102 is turned off, the shutdown voltage to the driver is floating and the carrier is on. During a fault condition, when Q102 is turned on, the shutdown voltage is applied to the carrier disable on the driver. Relay K101, which outputs the carrier disable, is protected from transient spikes by D104. Signal Conditioning Components The signal processing section of the Series II – rev I PCBs is used to buffer potentially noisy or damaging signals from the ADC. Power supply samples and forward and reflected power from a directional coupler are then digitized. Firstly, all analog signals are protected with a resettable fuse and transient voltage suppressor (TVS) combination. These components ensure that voltages above the Vbr breakdown voltage of the TVS get clamped and do not pass farther down the circuit. After this protection stage, the analog voltages get dropped with voltage dividers to safe levels for the buffers and ADC. For example, a 30Vdc power supply sample gets dropped to a level below the +2.5Vdc voltage reference of the ADC. After the voltage dividers, the analog signals get buffered with U107 and U108, configured as unity gain voltage followers. Finally, after some further decoupling capacitors and filters, the analog signals get digitized by the 8-channel, 10-bit ADC (U10) and sent to the microcontroller through a serial interface. In the power amplifier and filter enclosures, there are (3) analog voltages that get conditioned and processed: DC power supply sample, forward RF power, and reflected RF power. Specifically, the components for the power amplifier and filter enclosure conditioning are as follows: DC power supply – J108 (pin 1 floating and direct connection), F107, C120, L108, C121, R129, R130, VR105, U8, C122, C123, L109, C124 and U10. Forward RF power – J108 (pin 2), F106, D109, C117, C118, L107, C119, R127, VR104, R128, U108, C108, C125, L110, C126, C127, and U110. Reflected RF power – J108 (pin 3), F105, D108, C114, C115, L106, C116, R125, VR103, R126, U108, C130, L112, C131, C132, and U110.
VI-4 Display Components The display section of the Series II – rev I PCB is comprised of the LCD and the components that make up the data bus to send the data from the microcontroller to the LCD. Specifically, the LCD is an alphanumeric 20X4 display that uses the industry standard 44780 controller and a parallel interface for data communications. Firstly, the microcontroller sends out the data to be displayed via a serial bus where the signals are latched with U111 and U112 and converted to a parallel data stream. The parallel data then transfers directly to the LCD through connector J109. J109 also carriers the power supply for the LCD. Microcontroller Components The heart of the monitor and control system found in Series II - rev I PCBs is microcontroller U114. This microcontroller analyzes all RF power levels and voltages to ensure that all operating parameters are within their predetermined safe operating levels. If a fault is found, appropriate action is taken to help protect the system from damage, which may include turning the RF carriers off. A full description of all faults and their respective actions is found later in this section. The power supply for the microcontroller is monitored closely via supervisor U113. Should the +5Vdc supply drop below +4.5Vdc, a microcontroller reset is generated to ensure there are no brown out conditions that may latch the microcontroller up to an unknown state. The front panel Reset momentary switch is also tied to this line after optoisolation. The microcontroller is run off of a 4.000MHz clock source, generated by ceramic resonator CR101. If the software is running, LED D110 will be lit. Finally, U115 stores all characters for the LCD to minimize the overhead required for the microcontroller, and also stores the current state of the power ON/OFF of the system. This is to ensure that, in the event of a power outage, the system returns to the exact state is was before power was interrupted.
VI-5 Fault Shutdowns On the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) the following messages may appear: If you see this message, the system will: - shut amp down for 1 minute - automatically turn amp on after 1 minute and check again for overdriven amplifier - come back to the same power level that it was set If you see this message, the system will: - shut amp down for 5 minutes - automatically turn amp on after 5 minutes and check again for high VSWR - come back to the same power level that it was set
VI-6 Remote Port The remote port allows external control of the transmission system via the DB25 connector on each enclosure. All functions on the remote port are simply hard-wired or paralleled to existing wiring to provide a secondary method of control to the user, and are activated as follows: pin 1: ground to reset microcontroller, float otherwise pin 2: ground for 2 seconds to toggle carrier on/off, float otherwise pin 3: common ground pin 4: DC power supply sample

VII-1Section VII – Mechanical Section The heat sink allows the amplifiers to operate at a cooler temperature and prevents overheating, which helps the longevity of the entire system. The heat sink has hollow fins, which help dissipate the heat from the amplifiers faster than a conventional serrated or corrugated fin. In addition to the cooling effects of the heat sink, within each 500-watt power amplifier enclosure, there are four fans that each provide 170 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air flow (into zero static pressure). There are two fans mounted at the front of the heat sink and two mounted at the back end of the heat sink operated in a push-pull configuration to assist with heat dissipation. The fans are a 24Vdc variety, so there are series dropping resistors to drop the higher power supply voltage down to a safe level.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-1 Section VIII - Installation This section contains unpacking, inspection, and installation instructions for the power amplifier. We are sure that you are chomping at the bit to install your new system, so we recommend that you read the following sections very carefully. Building Recommendations The quality of the building is of great importance if you are to expect long life and continued performance from the power amplifier. The building must be clean, dry, temperature controlled and secure. Don’t forget to allow space in the building for any additional racks to house test equipment, a workbench area, line regulating transformers, ladders, equipment and parts storage, first aid kit, emergency generator if used, as well as heating and cooling devices that may be unique to your installation. A sloping roof will tend to develop leaks less rapidly. The building should be well roofed with good material. The cooling load will be lowered with reflective or light colored roofing material.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-2 Heating and Cooling Requirements The environment’s temperature will contribute greatly to the length of the power amplifier’s life. Technalogix recommends that the building’s filtered air intake must have capacity for all air-flow in the building plus an additional 20%. The TAV-1000 uses (10) ball bearing fans – (4) for each power amplifier, (1) for the power supply enclosure, and (1) for the combiner. Keep the intake below the roofline to avoid intake of solar heated air. Please ensure that the intake and exhaust areas are on the same side of the building to avoid pressure differentials during windy conditions. Also, do not position intake near exhaust’s preheated air. If air conditioning is required to cool the shelter, discuss the situation with a qualified HVAC technician. Under average conditions, 12,000 BTUs will cool approximately 500 square feet to a comfortable level.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-3 Electrical Service Recommendations Technalogix recommends that a qualified, licensed local electrician be consulted for the required electrical service. We suggest local electricians because: • The personnel knows the local codes • The personnel can be on site readily • You are apt to get better overall support if you give what business you can to local suppliers Technalogix recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression be provided on the primary AC input to the power amplifier. All electrical service should be installed with your national electrical code in your area, any applicable provincial or state codes, and good engineering practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all systems in view of the vulnerability of most transmitter or translator sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are recommended in the service entrance. Straight and short grounds are recommended. The electrical serviced must be well grounded. Do not connect the unit to an open delta primary power supply, as voltage fluctuations could harm the unit. Branch your circuits. Do not allow your lights, your workbench plugs, and your transmitting or translating equipment to operate on one circuit breaker. Each transmitter or translator should have its own circuit breaker, so a failure in one does not shut off the whole installation.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-4 Antenna and Tower Recommendations Your preliminary engineering workgroup should establish your antenna and tower requirements, both for receiving and transmitting antennas. Construction of sturdy, high quality antenna/tower systems will pay off in terms of coverage of your service area, the overall quality and saleability of your radiated signal, and reduced maintenance expenses. Technalogix provides complete turnkey antenna systems if needed. If your site is serving as a translator, your receiving antenna should be in line of sight to the originating station all year round. The foliage will change with season. Transmitting antennas can enhance or seriously impair the transmitter/translator output. The selection, routing, and length of coaxial cable are extremely important in the installation. If there is a 3 dB line loss in the cable between your unit’s output and the transmitting antenna, a 1000-watt unit will only deliver 500 watts to the antenna. Buy the best cable you can obtain, route it via the shortest way to the antenna, and keep it straight. Do not form it into sharp bends on its way. Do not use any more cable fittings for the installation than absolutely necessary. All cautions here apply equally to all coaxial cables in the system - input and output. Pay attention to radial ice accumulation when designing the transmission system. It is not uncommon for at least an inch of ice to build up on the tower and antenna. This in turn significantly increases the weight, cross section, and wind loading of the system. Attaching the transmission line to the tower is crucial to maintain a safe and reliable operation. Nylon wire ties and electrical tape will breakdown in the sunlight and ultimately fail, creating a potentially dangerous situation. It is important to use proper clamps and hoisting grips and also ensure that the transmission line is grounded to the tower in several locations. When high currents flow through the tower in the event of lightening strikes, some of that current will flow through the outer conductors of the transmission lines. Due to the resistance difference between the steel tower and copper transmission line, a significant voltage can be developed, often resulting in arcing between the outer jacket and outer conductor, thus pitting the conductor. • Preventative maintenance is crucial in ensuring that safety is maintained. Specifically, check that transmission line grounds are tight and are not missing any hardware. Frequently inspect support clamps or spring hangers. Consider investing in an ice break (ice bridge), if you haven’t already done so, as shards of falling ice can damage the transmission line – and if it is going to happen, it will happen at an important time. Check the tower light photocells and conduit. The better-known tower manufacturers offer complete technical and safety documentation with their towers. Be sure that you have this information as it regards wind loading, guying, etc. The best-designed antenna system will function poorly if shortcuts and compromises are used during installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly, along with any engineering data prepared for the site. Be absolutely safe and certain about this aspect as human lives may be at stake.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-5 Shelter Security The FCC requires that the transmitter or translator be secure from entry or control by unauthorized persons, and that any hazardous voltages or other dangers (including most tower bases) be protected by locks or fences as necessary to protect personnel and prevent unauthorized tampering or operation. Security of the building further implies that it be secure from wildlife. Use sturdy construction materials, including sheet metal if necessary. Holes around conduit, cable, and other similar entry points should be stuffed with steel wool and caulked to prevent entry of wildlife. Other features of security for your shelter may include its location with respect to the prevailing wind conditions. A location leeward of some natural topographical feature will prevent wind damage and snowdrifts. Check the soil runoff conditions that may slow or hasten wind or water erosion and other concerns that may be unique to your location.
Technalogix Ltd. VIII-6 Unpacking and Inspection Check the outside of the container. Carefully open the container and remove the power amplifier. Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event that the equipment must be returned to the factory. Exercise care in handling equipment during inspection to prevent damage due to rough or careless handling. • Visually inspect the enclosure of the power amplifier for damage that may have occurred during shipment. • Check for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous packing material in connectors or fan failures. • Inspect all connectors for bent connector pins. • If the equipment is damaged, a claim should be filed with the carrier once the extent of the damage is assessed. Technalogix cannot stress too strongly the importance of immediate careful inspection of the equipment and subsequent immediate filing of the necessary claims against the carrier if necessary. • If possible, inspect the equipment in the presence of the delivery person. If the equipment is damaged, the carrier is your first area of recourse. • If the equipment is damaged and must be returned to the factory, phone for a return authorization. • Claims for loss or damage may not be withheld from any payment to Technalogix, nor may any payment due be withheld pending the outcome thereof. Technalogix cannot guarantee the carrier’s performance.

Technalogix Ltd. VIII-13 Initial Hook Up 1. Ensure that the antenna has been swept and has a return loss of greater than 20dB (VSWR = 1.2:1). This should be done before connecting the antenna cable to the transmitter output. 2. Check that your video source is 3. Place the transmitter/translator in its permanent location near a receptacle supplying required AC voltage. DO NOT APPLY AC POWER AND TURN ON POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER / TRANSLATOR AT THIS TIME SINCE THE RF OUTPUT MUST BE PROPERLY LOADED BEFORE OPERATION. 4. Place an appropriate AC power line protector, conditioner, and/or surge suppressor across the AC supply line. 5. Hook up the modulator or processor as shown in their respective manuals for a transmitter or translator. Do not connect the modulated signal from the RF OUT on the modulator or processor to RF IN on the power amplifier at this time. Because of the characteristics of LDMOS devices, the RF drive should not be connected to the power amplifier until after the power supply and bias voltages are present and stable. 6. Ensure that modulator or processor RF output level is turned down as far as possible. 7. Ensure that the audio modulation is set to 100% with the audio signal supplied, as described in the appropriate modulator/processor manual (will be factory set). 8. Ensure that the video modulation level is set to 87.5% with the video signal supplied, as described in the appropriate modulator/processor manual (will be factory set). 9. Install the DB9 cables from each power amplifier enclosure to the combiner/filter enclosure. It does not matter which DB9 cable is used as they are both identical. 10. Install the DC power supply leads (4 AWG) between the power supply enclosure and each power amplifier enclosure. Ensure that each connector is securely locked into it’s mating connector. 11. Hook up the RF cabling from the output of each power amplifier to the RF input on the combiner/filter enclosure. 12. Connect the transmitting antenna cable to the RF OUT N-type connector on the filter enclosure RF output.
IX-1 Section IX - Operating Procedure Assuming the previous installation instructions have been completed and cautions noted, and the TAV-1000 power amplifier is ready to receive a properly modulated video and audio signal, proceed with the following steps to place the system in operation. The TAV-1000 power amplifier has been factory aligned for channel frequency (per system specification), signal levels and optimum performance. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU RUN YOUR SYSTEM INTO A DUMMY LOAD BEFORE INSTALLING TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO DAMAGES CAUSED IN SHIPPING AND THE UNIT IS RUNNING PROPERLY 1. Do not apply RF drive signal to the power amplifier at this time. 2. Verify that all control and RF cables are tight and properly seated in or on the mating connector. 3. Plug the modulator or processor into AC mains (110Vac). 4. Plug the 4U combiner/filter enclosure into AC mains (110Vac). 5. Switch AC rocker switch to “ON” position. 6. Verify that the combiner enclosure’s fan is on. 7. Plug the 4U power supply enclosure into 220V AC mains. 8. Verify that the power amplifier fans are all on. 9. Ensure that the modulator/processor is turned on and set up according to its instructions. Depress the POWER tactile button to turn the unit on. 10. The internal soft start circuitry will turn the bias voltages off until the power supply to the amplifier pallets is fully stable. The message on the LCD indicates when the soft start is running. Once complete, the Forward and Reflected Power and Power Supply readings will appear on the LCD in the filter and power amplifier enclosures. 11. After the soft start is complete, apply the RF drive signal (which still should be turned down) between the modulator or processor and the power amplifier RF In. This ensures that the RF drive signal is applied only after the power supply is stable and the bias voltages are applied to the amplifier.
IX-2 12. The TAV-1000 LCDs show the user the present status of the amplifiers. Adjust RF output power to desired level (see Important RF Power Notice in previous section). Verify that the FWD Power reads 800 to 1,000 Watts on the combiner/filter enclosure - depending on signal content. The system is set up for 1,000 watts peak visual power using the sync and blanking signal and should read 1,000 watts FWD Power on the LCD under this condition only. The output power level can be adjusted using the modulator or processor’s RF output level adjust. Keep in mind that the system will shut down should the forward RF output power level be exceeded. 13. Ideally, the RFL Power should read zero. However, should a high VSWR be detected, the system will automatically shut down and cycle as previously described. This is also a peak wattage reading. 14. Verify that the power supply reads approximately 30 Volts DC (see supplied final inspection sheet for factory settings of power supply levels) on the LCD of the power amplifier and power supply enclosures and 24Vdc on the combiner/filter enclosure. 15. Look at the transmitted output using a suitable monitor. The picture and sound quality should be clean and sharp. If the output picture and sound quality is unsatisfactory, check the input signals, connections to the antenna system, antenna and transmission line VSWR, and the physical condition of the antenna. If reception problems are encountered, and the quality of transmission is satisfactory, the difficulty is often with the receiving antenna or with obstructions in the path between the transmitter/translator and receiver.
X-1 Section X – Maintenance and Troubleshooting Periodic Maintenance If your unit employs a filter on the air inlet for the fans, the filter should be cleaned every 30 days. If the equipment is operated in a severe dust environment, the filters on the inlet fan may need to be cleaned more regularly. Turn the system off and unplug all of the AC inlet cords. The filter can be lifted off the fan and cleaned using an air compressor at low pressure. While the filter is out, clean the fan blades themselves with a small brush. The fans themselves do not need lubrication. The interior of the cabinets should be cleaned and inspected annually. Turn the system off and unplug all of the AC inlet cords. Remove the top lid by unscrewing the 6-32 machine screws. Use extreme caution when working near the AC input terminal. The power amplifier and power supply store hazardous capacitances and voltages. Using either compressed air or a brush with soft bristles, loosen accumulated dust and dirt and then vacuum the interior of the cabinet. Complete a visual inspection of the interior, making sure there are no loose connections or discolorations on any components from heat. Nothing inside the power amplifier enclosure exceeds a temperature that is not comfortable to the touch under normal operating conditions, so any signs of discoloration indicate potential damage. All modular components inside the enclosure are attached to aluminium mounting plates for easy removal and replacement. Ensure that plates are secured and the mounting hardware is tight.
X-2 Troubleshooting The first and most important aspect of troubleshooting anything is to be systematic. Note where you have looked and what you found. Look first for the obvious. • Make a physical inspection of the entire facility. Are all necessary connections properly made? Do you see any signs of obvious damage within the equipment? • Is the AC power ‘ON’ to the site and the equipment? (Check fuses and circuit breakers if necessary.) • Are all the switches in the correct operating position? • Is the input signal present? • Check LCD readings for presence of forward and reflected power and 31 V DC supply levels. The above is an aid in determining the fault if some aspect of the system is not operating. The following table deals with quality of operation: Symptom Possible Fault Correction Horizontal bars in picture (may roll either way depending on phase) AC grounding / AC interference Install EMI/RFI filter in AC line Ensure modulator/processor and power amplifier share a common ground Diagonal lines in picture Interference Install EMI/RFI filter in AC line Determine source and frequency of interfering signal (spectrum analyzer may be required)
X-3 Symptom Possible Fault Correction Weak output or picture Low level input signal Verify presence and level of input signal Low output power Verify power amplifier output with wattmeter and dummy load Incorrect modulation depth Adjust to meet specification High reflected power Incorrect load Ensure amplifier connected to transmission line Ensure correct antenna impedance (50 ohms) Check antenna tuning and VSWR. Verify correct cable for transmission line length Check all cables for visible damage (kinks, nicks or cuts) Check all connectors for poor connections, water or corrosion Check alignment of antenna Check for physical damage of antenna, including ice build-up
