This is for information ONLY. Level 2 access shall only be available for administrator in connection with configuration of the Transmitter during Commissioning When logged in to the PC as “Administrator” you may, in addition to “General user” as specified above, have full access and ability to configure and make adjustment and monitoring of the Transmitter such as :  Setting Carrier frequency  Setting RF power output  Setting Modulation type - Morse, Audio or MSK (option)  Setting Modulation depth  Setting Morse tone frequency and Morse sequence (ID)  Setting Keying rate  Setting of four (4) different Morse messages  Selection of type of timer and setting of time  RESET of Main or Reserve Transmitter, if failed (Alarm)  Setting User name and Pass words and selection of mode for Reserve Transmitter  Reading event log that records all system events, such as restart, parameter changes and error events. (The JTM-30C has a built-in non-volatile memory sufficient for storage of the entire transmitter configuration, and enabling stand-alone un-attended operation. Saving the configuration in solid-state memory is controlled via the PC interface). 5.3 Color and number information on the PC Readings in the PC windows. The numbers in the windows are not absolute values, but approx. information only for quick status overview. 5.3.1 Power (WPEP) The “Power (WPEP)” window is an indication to check that the Transmitter is generating RF output to the Antenna. When the Transmitter is switched ON and under normal condition the background of the window is GREEN, and will be GREEN as log at the RF Power output is 70% or higher than programmed “RF pow. (%)”. E.g. if “RF pow. (%)” is configured to 50% and the number in the “Power (WPEP)” window is above approx. 35 the background is GREEN, but the background will turn to YELLOW if the number in this window is below approx. 35. The equipment is still operational if the background is YELLOW, but RF output is reduced due to poor Antenna tuning and/or due to poor cleaning of the Antenna Insulators.

JTM-30C NDB Operation User Manual Copyright 2014 - TELE SUPPLY AS Page 6(14) 5.3.2 Current /A) This window shoes the DC current supplied to the Transmitter. Under normal condition the window is white, and will be white as log at the DC current is less than 15 Amp. If the DC current is higher than 15 Amps the background turns RED indicating excessed DC current indicating that the DC drain current to the Transmitter is too high. 5.3.3 Power Amplifier Temp (C) This window shoes the temperature (Co) at the Output RF Transistors When transmitter is switched ON the background of the window is white and will indicate the temperature on the Output Transistors. During operation the temperature will increase, but normally not exceed 65 Co. If the temperature for some reason should increase above 80 Co the background becomes RED. The RF Output Amplifier will operate normally up to 90 Co. If exceeding 90 Co the RF Amplifier will shut-down. When after the RF Amplifier has cooled down to temperature below70 Co the RF Amplifier will operate normally again. 5.3.4 Antenna VSWR This window is inserted to have control over the impedance matching and Antenna Tuning. During ideal conditions the VSWR should show less than 1,5. The Transmitter is considered operating correctly as long as the VSWR shows below 2,5. After finishing fine tuning of the Antenna Tuning Coil adjust the Impedance matching to minimum VSWR. If the VSWR figures exceed approx. 3,5 the background first turns YELLOW, which is an indication the Antenna Tuning and/or Impedance matching is not optimal. The equipment is still operational if the background is YELLOW, but RF output may be reduced due to poor Antenna tuning and/or due to poor cleaning of the Antenna Insulators. If the figure exceeds approx. 5,0 it is an indication the equipment then the Antenna Tuning is not correct and/or problem with the Antenna or Antenna Insulators. 5.3.5 Ambient Temp (C) This window shows the temperature (Co) at the Exciter (temperature inside Transmitter cabinet). 5.4 Operation from PC locally or via Internet (Single Site Mode) When starting the PC program  This in order to avoid possible unwanted change of configuration, which was set during commissioning of the equipment, it is of importance to dedicate a separate User Name for the OPERATOR.

When activating you will see that the window “Pwr correction” first turns YELLOW and becomes GRAY after finishing adjustment of the RF Power Output. This is an operation which only may be needed when changing the frequency considerably and/or if replacing the RF Amplifier. Typical value in the “Pwr correction” window is 35 to 40. With RF Amplifier Type JTM-30HPA or JTM-30HPA2 this function is not needed. 5.4.4 IDLE When activating “IDLE” you switch ON the Transmitter, but without generating RF input/output from the RF Amplifier. This knob is only to check that the Idle current setting of the RF Power Output Transistors. Typical reading in the “Current (A)” window is approx. 0,6 to 0.9. 5.4.5 STOP When activating “STOP” you switch OFF the Transmitter. 5.4.6 READ When activating “READ” you ask the Exciter to send updated information on configured information to the PC. 5.4.7 BLOCK A/B When activating “BLOCK A/B” you stop the operation on Transmitter in operation. E.g. if Transmitter “A” is in operation and initiation “BLOCK A” you force the transmitter to switch over to Transmitter “B”. 5.4.8 TRANSMITTER RESET If the Transmitter in operation (A or B) stops operation and switches over the upper window of “TRANSMITTER STATUS” turns RED and indicates Alarm. If you want to reset the Transmitter, or Alarm status, activate “TRANSMITTER RESET” and the Transmitter will be reset back to normal operation again. 5.5 Operation from PC locally or via Internet (Multi Site Mode) For “Multi Site Mode” operation activate “Multi Site” block located on upper right PC window and you will see ”Main Window” to the left and “Multi Site Window” to the right.
