Introduction - 2 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 2 IntroductionThe intention of this Affinity® Product Manual is to familiarize an operator with the setup, basic operation, and functions of the Thales Affinity® LBD-200C-N1 L-Band Transmitter.Non-technical personnel should avoid performing any operations and/or procedures containedwithin this manual without obtaining the proper training. Semi-technical personnel may perform the operations and/or procedures appropriate to their skill-level and training. It is highly recommended that the normal operation, maintenance, and servicing of thistransmitter be performed only by qualified and trained technicians or personnel.CAUTION: Observe caution while at the transmitter site or while engaged in any transmitter maintenance. Refer to the Safety section of this manual for additional information on the dangers and hazardous conditions that are present in and around the transmitter site, and on the precautions the operator must observe while working within the transmitter area.

Safety - 3 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 3 Safety Information3.1 Introduction The Thales Broadcast & Multimedia Affinity® transmitter conforms to the safety information contained in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publication 60215 (1987-06)(www.iec.ch). The design and manufacturing approach of the transmitter will protect theoperator from dangerous voltages, heat, radiation, and other hazards if operated within the confines of the specification. Thales has attached warning labels to the enclosures and/orvarious assemblies to identify potentially dangerous conditions to the operator. Operators must adhere to these warning labels. Thales recommends that only skilled personnel, as defined by the IEC 60215 publication, be permitted to operate the transmitter. Proper training and correct equipment operation willremove the risk of hazardous conditions and dangers to the operator.3.2 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes This manual contains WARNING and CAUTION notices that identify procedures, conditions,and materials that could potentially cause death, injury, or damage to equipment. AWARNING notice will appear before a procedure or instruction if injury or death could result from performing the procedure or instruction incorrectly. ACAUTION notice will appear before a procedure or instruction if equipment damage could occur from performing the procedure or instruction incorrectly.ANOTE appears after a paragraph to highlight important information. WARNINGThis equipment uses dangerous voltages that can cause injury or death. Observe applicablesafety precautions. CAUTIONDo not operate the transmitter with the antenna and station-load disconnected. Doing so may damage the transmitter. Warning and Caution Samples NOTE: The RF Sample contains pre-distortion and is not representative of output signal. The RF sample is a reference point for testing only. Note Sample

Safety - 4 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 3.3 Safety SymbolsAssemblies within the transmitter system that contain high voltage conditions have safety symbols attached to them.HIGH VOLTAGEThis symbol identifies the presence of high voltage that can cause injury or death. 3.4 Electrical Shock and the Human BodyElectrical shock or electrocution occurs when the body becomes part of an energized electricalpath and this electrical energy passes through the body. The body subjected to a difference of potential, or stored electrical charge causing current to flow through the body, will be shocked or electrocuted. Effects of electrical shock may include severe burns to the skin and/or internal organs and respiratory or cardiac arrest. Any electricalcurrent that flows through the central nervous system of the human body has the potential to cause serious injury or death. Severity of electrical shock depends upon the source and duration of exposure. Use thefollowing information in conjunction with a vigilant and on-going safety program. This informationis in general terms and does not include unknown variables that may increase susceptibility to electrical shock. Always exercise Awareness and Caution.Direct Current (DC): Low voltage (up to 72 VDC) usually does not present a hazard to human life, but a severe burn is possible under some conditions. Medium and high voltage (greater than 72 VDC) can cause severe shocks, burns, and even death. Alternating Current (AC): At commercial frequencies (50-60 Hz) and intermediate voltages (72 to 600 VAC), lethal current can flow through the body. Even low AC voltages (24 VAC or less) under certain circumstances can be dangerous and lethal. The danger of shock is less at high frequencies, but radio-frequency (RF) burns are possible.Body Resistance: The resistance of the body and the amount of insulation between the body and electrical earth-ground determine the amount of electrical current that passes through the body. The skin presents the greatest resistance of the human body to impede current flow. Please note that skin resistance decreases with increased voltage.Time of Contact: The length of time the body remains in contact with electrical currentdetermines the severity of possible injury. Burns break down the skin and thus lowers the body’s ability to resist electrical current. The more extensive the burn, the less resistance the skin provides. As current flow increases, so does the severity of the shock. The duration of contact is critical. Current flowing through the body causes loss of muscle control, chest contractions(breathing is impaired) and ventricular fibrillation of the heart. During fibrillation, the heart cannot pump sufficient quantities of blood. Magnitude: The magnitude of the electrical current determines the extent of muscle-control loss, effects on the heart, and severity of burns.

Safety - 5 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual Path: The path of the electrical current through the body is critical. When current passes from hand to hand, or hand to foot, the brain, heart, lungs, and spinal cord, which become part of the electrical path, are affected.Age and Condition of Victim: The age and physical condition of the victim affects the severity of electrical shock. Elderly victims, young children, or those with existing medical conditions, aremore susceptible to injury caused by electrical shock. 3.5 Emergency Procedures for Electrical Shock Anyone engaged in electrical or electronic work should be aware of the proper safeguards and emergency procedures related to hazardous electrical conditions. An understanding andknowledgebase regarding electrical hazards will reduce the risks and dangers of electrocution.Obtaining safety related training courses such as First Aid and CPR, and applying them during emergencies, might greatly reduce the effects of electrically induced injuries.Promptly report to the appropriate personnel any electrical “popping” or sparking, and any noticeable defects or hazardous conditions that can cause injury, property damage, orinterference to the electrical equipment.Immediately report any electric shock received to the appropriate supervisor or safetypersonnel.In the event that an individual comes into contact with a live electrical circuit:x Cut off the power. Learn how to remove power anywhere within the work area. x Free a victim from a live circuit. If a person is “frozen” to a live electrical contact, turn off the power if possible. If you cannot turn off power, use wooden boards, poles, sticks, a belt, dry rope, articles of clothing or some other nonconductivematerial of sufficient strength to pull the affected person from electrical contact.x Contact emergency personnel. Immediately contact emergency medical personnel. Only qualified and trained personnel should perform First Aid procedures.WARNINGUnder no circumstances touch a victim exposed to a live circuit. Doing so will place you in the live circuit, and may result in injury or death due to electrocution.Victim in live circuit Warning

Safety - 6 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 3.6 Transmitter Electrical Hazards WARNINGUse appropriate practices when working near high voltage. The removal of panelsidentified with warning symbols can expose the mains voltages. These voltages can cause injury or death. Transmitter Electrical Hazards WarningThe transmitter uses lethal voltages that can cause injury or death. The transmitter assemblies fully enclose these voltages to prevent accidental contact.Thales recommends these safe-working practices: x Operate and maintain the transmitter according to the instruction manuals. x Do not allow personnel to work alone on the transmitter.x Permit only skilled personnel to operate the transmitter. See IEC 60215. x Ensure personnel know the location of circuit breakers and mains disconnectswitches.x Ensure the transmitter is OFF, disconnected from the AC mains voltage, and secured via a lock-out/tag-out process before working in any areas identified with warning symbols. x Ensure all personnel have training in First Aid and CPR procedures.

Features - 8 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 4.2 Affinity® Low Power Transmitter ConfigurationsThere are three basic transmitter configurations available:Single Drive – One exciter/driver chain drives the power amplifiers in parallel. This configurationincludes options for N+1 power supply. Dual Drive – Two exciter/driver(s) operating in a main/standby automatic switching mode drives the power amplifiers in parallel. This configuration includes options for N+1 power supply.Diversity Transmitter – This configuration can feed four antennas in 90osectors. There are two independent single drive transmit chains fed by a common exciter with embedded time delays on each output. The exciter time delay function is defined in the DVB-H standard, EN 300744. The delay must be within the guard interval defined in the network, and should add a fewmicroseconds of delay in relation to the other transmitter in the site. The timing information can be sent to the transmitter via the Megaframe Information Protocol (MIP) or can be adjusted locally in the modulator. 4.3 Affinity® Family ConstructionThe Affinity® family of low power solid-state DTV transmitters is designed to provide maximumflexibility for site layout and installation. All of the transmitter chassis are designed to fit in EIA standard 19” wide equipment cabinets. Outdoor installations are equipped with high quality front and rear access enclosures. These enclosures maintain security and protection against external elements. Transmitter systems are available in several configurations based on output power, redundancy options, and site system requirements. Single channel, non-redundant transmitter configurations (SD) are sized as follows: For 50 to 125 watt average output power levels, the upconverter and amplifier are self-contained in a single 6 rack unit (RU) chassis. The N+1 capable power supply is housedin a 3RU chassis, and the Thales DVB- T/H RF exciter is contained in a 2RU chassis. This 11RU transmitter is the most compact Thales Affinity system. xxxFor 200 watts average output power levels, three chassis are used (14RU total). The upconverter assembly is self-contained in a single 3RU chassis. The power amplifiers are housed in a 6RU chassis. The N+ 1 capable power supply is housed in a 3RU chassis and the Thales DVB- T/H RF exciter is housed in a 2RU chassis.For 400 watts average output power levels, four chassis are used (20RU total). The upconverter assembly is self-contained in a single 3RU chassis. The power amplifiers are housed in two 6RU chassis. The N+1 capable power supply is housed in a 3RU chassis and the Thales DVB- T/H RF exciter is housed in a 2RU chassis. A dual drive transmitter operating in main/standby configuration (DD) is sized as follows:The Thales DVB-H RF exciter is contained in a19” 9RU chassis that includes: 2RU chassis for the DVB-H RF exciters, 3RU chassis that house the CPU board with PSU, the DVB-H RF Exciter/Up Converter, and the amplifiers interface board. 1RU is used for the fan unit and air inlet, and 1RU for the dedicated front panel that supports the touch screen and bar graph.

Features - 9 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual The transmitter uses self-contained ambient forced air-cooling (front to back airflow). All fans are internal to the chassis. Refer to the Cabinet Air Conditioning section of this manual for additional details of the LBD-200C-N1 transmitter cooling and environmental control systems. The transmitter system including all ancillary equipment is housed in a Nema 3R ratedenclosure with approximate dimensions: 74” H x 44” W x 44” D. This self-contained unit features eyelets for lifting the entire assembly during installation. The base has mounting provisions for mechanical and electrical attachments to building structures. Equipment access is achievedthrough front and rear opening doors fitted with locks and intrusion alarms with remote signaling. Internal enclosure lights illuminate when any door is opened during maintenance. A smoke/fire detector with remote signaling is utilized to provide the earliest warning of catastrophic failure caused by a natural occurrence or other means.Located inside the enclosure is an EIA standard 19” rail structure system used for rack mounting each sub system contained in the Affinity® configuration.The AC distribution system is comprised of: 120/230VAC surge suppression with alarms, two 230VAC outlets, and two 120VAC outlets with separate circuit protection. Four 230VAC utility outlets are provided along with four UPS protected outlets located along the rear corner of the enclosure. These outlets are intended to connect transmitter ancillary equipment. An external disconnect box allows connection of a portable generator. An AC hour-meter will record the operational hours of the equipment.A UPS is employed to keep critical subsystems running in instances of temporary AC power loss. The 230VAC UPS output is capable of 700VA/490W. Storage for the UPS is via two 24VDC extended battery modules capable of providing an output of approximately 210 Watts for400 Minutes (6.9 Hrs). This power is intentionally distributed to the site management system, satellite receiver, and DVB-T/H RF exciter to enable status communications from the site, back to the operations center, to continue while normal operating site power is absent. Having the exciter and satellite receiver powered up also minimizes transmitter restart times once normal site power has been restored.

If the reflected power reaches 25% of the transmitter output power, the VSWR protection system shuts the transmitter down. To bring the transmitter back into operation after a VSWR protection shutdown requires an operator to perform a transmitter reset through the Omnitronix SL-81 Site Management system, local reset via MMI on front panel, or by cycling the Upconverter Module power.

Specifications - 28 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 5.5 Equipment PackagingThe transmitter is packaged at the factory on a single skid. Assemblies to be mounted in the transmitter are packed in crates. The skid and crates may contain one or more precaution labels or markings. These markings provide information regarding the various precautions that should be observed during the handling,unpacking, and storage of the equipment crate. Examples of these precautions may include positioning, fragility, and weather constraint labels.NOTE: Acceptable storage climate for the equipment crate is between -30ºC to +60ºC. 5.5.1 Unpacking and Inspection Before taking delivery, and prior to removing the contents of the crates, examine the exterior of the crates for evidence of shipping damage. If any damage is visible to the crate or the contents, do not continue to unpack the equipment. Protect the goods from further damage and contact the freight carrier and Thales immediately for further instructions.If the crate is free from damage, the equipment may be carefully removed. The following tools are recommended for the unpacking process: x Cutterx ScrewdriverRemove the packing slip from the cover of the crate. Using the screwdriver, remove the top cover and one of the sides of the shipping crate. With the cutter, carefully cut through the cover material. Be careful not to damage any equipment during this process. Once the equipment has been removed from the crate and verified against the packing slip, inspect the equipment for any signs of damage. If any damage is visible, contact Thalesimmediately for further instructions. While unpacking, carefully compare packing list with the equipment, checking for in-transit damage at the same time. Should any damage be noted, notify the freight carrier at once to file a freight claim. Do not discard any packing material until told to do so by the carrier. Also, notify Thales Broadcast & Multimedia of any damages or missing materials from the shipment. Retain original boxes and internal packing materials to adequately protect equipment to be returned to the factory for repairs, upgrades, or modifications.5.6 Environment ConsiderationsThe equipment housed in outdoor enclosures can be safely operated in ambient temperatures of -15º to +45º Celsius (5º to +113º Fahrenheit) The RF power regulation and frequency determining devices are qualified to operate across -30 to +50º Celsius (-22º to +122º Fahrenheit) However, the channel filter will tolerate much less temperature variation. Therefore, if not installed in a qualified outdoor enclosure with HVAC system, Thales recommends that the transmitter be operated within r10q Celsius from room ambient. Moderate temperatures generally extend equipment life. Although the equipment may be operated with relative humidity

Specifications - 29 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual of up to 95%, the equipment must be protected from conditions that cause condensation within the equipment. The transmitter chassis requires a rack with a minimum of 24” vertical front-to-rear rail separation. If a rear door must be used to secure the rack cabinet, the rack must be at least 40” deep to accommodate transmitter cabling, and the door must open fully or be removed to allow transmitter maintenance. If a rear door is placed on the rack, forced ventilation through the cabinet is required (600 cfm minimum per transmitter is recommended) and an air or temperature interlock should be incorporated for protection against interruption of ventilation (contact Thales Broadcast & Multimedia Customer Service department for assistance). In case of indoor installations, the area should be kept dry and clean. There should be sufficient space in front of the transmitter cabinet for service personnel and test equipment. A minimum of 44” behind the cabinet should be free for rear cabinet access and air movement. Also, ample room must be available at the cabinet rear for cable placement.5.7 System GroundingFor proper system operation, it is imperative that the system be adequately grounded. Each individual equipment-rack requires grounding to the main building ground.

System Description - 30 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 6 General System DescriptionThe Thales Affinity® LBD-200C-N1 low power solid-state DVB-H transmitter is intended to provide maximum flexibility for site layout and installation. The Affinity® transmitter containsintegrated modular assemblies that were designed to fit into EIA standard 19” rack units. The transmitter consists of several of these rack units that house, with the exception of theDownconverter Module, RF filter and HVAC unit, the major components that make up the transmitter system. This module design allows operators of the transmitter to easily install, operate and maintain the equipment.The basic topology of the Affinity® LBD-200C-N1 transmitter configuration is as follows:xxxxxxxxxxSite Management SystemSatellite Receiver and RemultiplexerSirius DVB-H Exciter Front-End Power Supply Driver Section oPower Supply Module oUpconverter Module oDownconverter Module Power Amplifier (PA) SegmentsUPS systemRF Filter Phone System Interface HVAC Unit The low power microwave transmission system transmits a digitally modulated average power signal on a single 1670-1675MHzchannel. The LBD-200C-N1 generates 200 watts average power using a COFDM modulation scheme.Digital transmission techniques provide superior performance over analog methods with reduced susceptibility to noise and co-channel interference. COFDM modulation providesexceptional throughput and spectral efficiency, while meeting the needs of mobility. The system architecture is based on: advanced transistor technology, low-loss power combining, anddistributed control and power conversion. Some unique advantages of this new design are: flexibility/scalability, lower downtime, and lower operating costs. The modular structure of this

System Description - 31 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual system allows for quick and easy replacement of malfunctioning plug-in modules resulting in less downtime and convenient scalability. The high efficiency design and small size decreases operating expenses. Each of the plug-in modules is self-managing. When a fault occurs within a module, the application software detects and automatically signals and/or records the fault. If a catastrophic failure occurs within any of the plug-in modules, the Master Support Interface (MSI) system will detect the failure and perform an automatic controlled shutdown.One key benefit of this series of transmitters is the “Hot Swap” replacement capability. The hot swap feature allows the transmitter to continue functioning while a faulty power amplifier segment is replaced. During replacement the transmitter will continue operating with only slight power loss and with little to no change in the noise floor. Full transmitter power will be restored when the replacement amplifier is plugged into the amplifier chassis.Should any of the other plug-in modules contained in the transmitter require replacement, a brief transmission interruption will occur when the faulty plug-in is removed. Transmission is restoredwhen the replacement module is plugged in.

Installation - 32 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 7 Installation(Reference L-Band XMTR Enclosure Planning document 38-0019-040 located in Section 25)WARNINGThis equipment utilizes a grounding plug on all power cords. For personal safety, do not defeat this feature. As with all similar types of equipment, high voltage can be accessed when the chassis cover is removed. Special care should be given in areas of fuses, line switches, and power supplies. Modern high power solid-state equipment contains low output voltage power supplies with very high current capability. To prevent severe burns, avoid contacting these circuits with conductive jewelry such as rings, watches etc. When servicing the transmission line and antenna, care must be taken to avoid exposure to high-energy microwave.7.1 Installation of Transmitter Sub-ChassisThe transmitter modules require twelve rack units of vertical rack space (not including the exciter).Install the LBD-200C-N1 support rails within the equipment rack as shown in the site-specificcabinet layout diagram. Failure to use the support rails will result in damage to the transmitterchassis. Install rack clips to secure the transmitter front panel. Slide the chassis onto thesupport rails and secure to the rack clips. The rear door of the transmitter opens for maintenance access. Nothing should be mounted to the rear of the rack that will interfere with this access. Ensure AC power outlets and other brackets are appropriately located so as not to block the rear of the transmitter. To ensure that no electrical arcing occurs, perform the installation of the individual module segments of the transmitter in the order discussed below:

The driver section of the transmitter occupies the left quadrant of rack space directly below the Sirius Exciter and adjacent to the Power Amplifier Segments. Within the driver section, the Power Supply Module occupies the left slot, while theUpconverter Module occupies the right slot. To install the driver plug-ins, slide the module into its proper location until fully seated. There is a disconnect switch on the backplane board to ensure that there is no arcing between connections before the segment is fully engaged. Once the plug-in is in place, tighten the front panel thumbscrews to ensure that the plug-in remains securely in place.Driver Assembly Power Supply Module Upconverter Module

The key-lock switch, located on the amplifier front panel, must be in the OFF/UNLOCKED position to plug the segment in. This removes the potential for arcing between connections before the segment is fully engaged.Once the segment is slid into place, thumbscrews on the front panel secure the segment to the sub-chassis. The key-lock switch may be turned to the ON/LOCKED position to apply power to the amplifier segment. Once the key-lock switch is turned on, the segment will automatically set the gain and currents of the amplifier.Amplifier positions within the Affinity® LBD-200C-N1 transmitter sub-chassis

Exciter Configuration Description - 52 - ®Affinity LBD-200C-N1 TransmitterProduct Manual 10.1.1 Remote Operation(Optional)For SD configuration the remote operation is enabled by either the SNMP agent or the Web server, both of which are embedded in the Sirius DVB-H RF Exciter.10.1.2 SNMP Agent and Web ServerThe objective of the SNMP agent is to ensure remote operation of the equipment by using the SNMP protocol by means of the IP protocol supported by an Ethernet interface. The SNMP agent is responsible for:x Communication with the equipment by means of SNMP protocol x Communication with the equipment by sending e-mail x Implementation of FTP and TELNET protocolsThe control of the equipment in this manner is only enabled when remote operation is selected.The SNMP agent in both local and remote modes of operation always accepts monitoringrequests.Access to the SNMP agent for either writing and/or reading is organized by means of user profiles defining individual rights and conditions for access. The SNMP agent integrates SMTP protocol allowing events to be sent via e-mail. Important events will automatically generate“traps”. The links between events and traps are configurable by the operator. A web server allows the equipment to be controlled from any standard browser by means of the HTTP protocol. The control of the equipment in this manner is only enabled when remote operation is selected. The web server, in both local and remote modes, always accepts monitoring requests.The web server provides:x Static information such as leaflet and user manual of the equipmentx Dynamic information including displays of all status alarms and faults, and operating parametersx Operating or configuration control protected by means of user profiles andpasswordsx Access to equipment logbookThe following screen shots represent the main page and the page dedicated to the Sirius DVB-H RF Exciter. These should provide an accurate representation of the capability of theembedded web server.
