The amplifier is supplied complete with all its parts, not really "modules", essential for its
operation such as the fans for dissipating the heat generated by the transmitter inside the
room and all the accessories for the electrical and RF wiring. As a rule, the amplifier is
supplied as a complete transmitter therefore the two FM exciters that it manages will be
provided and connected (a service exciter and a spare exciter).

Additional important features of the PJ6KPS-CA are as follows:

● The 2.2 kW amplifying modules are implemented by means of plug-in technology: the
individual modules may be removed for performing maintenance operations, for instance,
without having to turn off the transmitter. The transmitter keeps working at reduced power
even if the module has been removed. This operation may be carried out without any risk
of damaging the module itself, or the amplifier as a whole, thanks to the control system
and to the RF connectors, the power supply and the purposely designed data-exchange.
For further information refer to the maintenance section.
● Each module is controlled by a microprocessor-based card that checks and adjusts its
operating mode. The resulting data are transmitted to the control unit.
● The control unit manages the changeover of the two exciters both in automatic and ma-
nual mode.
● The amplifier can work as usual even if the control unit is not present. In fact, the control
unit may be substituted temporarily with an electromechanical interface by means of which
the user may give the ON and OFF commands to the transmitter. However, in this case
all the numeric type information will be missing and the power level remains the last one
enabled before removing the control unit.
● Immediate power foldback under severe / damaging fault conditions of VSWR. The po-
wer of transmitter should automatically come down to a suitable safe design limit, so that
the transmitter and its subsystem does not get damaged due to load mis match.

The foldback function, on the VSWR protection, works automatically on bias voltage and PA vol-
tage, reducing them to ensure that the transmitter can work at maximum power, not to damage
internal organs (mosfet, combiners and rejected load).

4.4 Operating principles
This description is based on the block diagram shown in Figure 4-1.

The PJ6KPS-CA amplifier essentially comprises of two blocks:

● The Splitter-Coupler section

● The RF amplifier section

The Splitter-Coupler section performs all the treatment of the RF signal except for the power ampli-
fication.

Figure 4-1 Block diagram of PJ6KPS-CA

The RF signals generated by two exciters (in the redundant configuration) are first attenuated by 6
dB to improve the uncoupling among the stages and then connected to a coaxial relay commanded
by the control unit. One of the two signals is closed on a reject load built into the transmitter whereas
the other signal is connected to the input splitter. The power of both signals is measured by specific
directional couplers.

The RF signal of the selected exciter is divided into three branches, each of which is passed to the
input of an amplifying module.

The three RF amplifiers branches are recombined by the coupler at the output of the amplifying mo-
dules. The overall amplified RF signal is filtered by a low-pass filter for eliminating the harmonics and
is therefore available at the output connector.

The Splitter-Coupler section is controlled by a microprocessor-based card, which makes the values
detected at the various measuring points available for the user and for the diagnostics functions.

PJ6KPS-CA
The system contains three RF sub-amplifier modules each of which is capable of supplying a maxi-
mum of 2.2 kW RF and efficiency 80%. Each RF sub-amplifier module incorporate a PFC (Power
Factor Corrector) power supply that provides the utmost power efficiency for enhanced energy savin-
gs and environmental protection.

Each RF sub-amplifier module contains a first stage with gain that varies (driver) according to the
MOSFET MRFE6VS25NR1. The RF signal amplified by the driver is then separated into three bran-
ches, amplified by three LDMOS MRFE6VP61K25H or BLF188XR (planar pallet), recombined and
filtered by a low-pass filter (Figure 4-2).

Figure 4-2 Block diagram of RF sub-amplifier module

Each RF sub-amplifier module is controlled by a microprocessor-based card, connected to the other
microprocessor-based cards of the system by means of a RS485 type bus.

Each RF sub-amplifier module runs the Automatic Power Control function for regulating the supplied
power: the gain of the amplifying stages and the voltage supplied by the switching power supply unit
are regulated so that the power that is output from the RF sub-amplifier module corresponds, if possi-
ble, to the set level.

The overall power that the PJ6KPS-CA must supply is controlled by the microprocessorbased card
of the splitter-combiner section according to the settings made on the control unit for the NOMINAL
POWER and LOWER POWER parameters.

This menu is normally used during the maintenance operations. When this screen is
visualized, the Control Unit checks the status of the modules of the unit more frequently
in order to have a visualization of the different parameters as fast as possible. When this
menu is entered, all the secondary functions are interrupted, therefore a possible alarm
may not be visualized and registered immediately; when exiting this menu all the alarms
which were temporarily put in “stand-by” are registered. If the user sets some modules in
OFF modality, these will be automatically reactivated when exiting the menu. This menu
is deactivated after 60 minutes if no key is selected. (Figure 5-10).

5.2 Buttons, selector switches and LEDs
The typical transmitter-control operations are performed using the buttons of the control
unit’s panel. Specific LEDs correspond to each button and selector switch for indicating
the transmitter’s status.(Figure 5-16).

Figure 5-16

The functions performed by the controls are as follows:

Function Description
OFF Button for turning off the transmitter. A LED signals that the
transmitter is OFF. In this status, the exciters and the blower,
are off.
STDBY Button for setting the transmitter in standby. In this status the
transmitter does not emit any power, but is ready to start the
transmission: the main blower is on, the RF modules are not
powered, the exciters are on but locked by means of an inter-
lock. The stand-by is used to test the exciters, in fact in ma-
nual modality the operator could arrange them in base to the
own requirements; coming from an “On” in manual modality,
the system does not touch the interlock. Stand-by status is
signalled from a LED.
In manual and in stand-by the inhibit of the device doesn’t in-
tervene on the interlock of the exciters. This could necessary
when the transmitter is in configuration n+1 for verify if the
exciters are operational.
ON Button for turning on the transmitter. The RF power supply is
activated.
If the command is set to MANUAL CHANGEOVER EXCITER
(led on), exciters will block interlock and have to go through in
“exciters menu” of CU to enable them manually.The exciters
should deliver a power of at least 15 W to start the transmit-
ter.

LOC/REM Selector switch for setting the transmitter in remote or local

mode. In local mode the buttons and the controls via the me-
nus are active. In remote mode the buttons and the controls
via the menus are inhibited and the commands may be given
only remotely via the parallel interface or via the remote con-
trol software.
ALARM RESET Button to reset the alarm type FAULT or WARNING.
POWER LOWER Click this button to set the transmitter for supplying the nomi-
nal power level. A specific LED signals this setting. The value
that corresponds to the nominal level is set by the operator
using the menu settings (see 5.1.9)
NOMINAL POWER Click this button to set the transmitter for supplying the redu-
ced power level. A specific LED signals this setting. The value
that corresponds to the reduced level is set by the operator
using the menus. (see 5.1.9)
EXCITER Use this button to set the changeover system in manual or
CHANGEOVER automatic mode. The signaling LED turns on when the ma-
nual mode is selected. On performing a changeover, the exci-
ter connected to the amplifier is deviated toward the internal
dummy load and vice-versa. The operator must use the exci-
ters menu to perform the changeover in manual mode.
LED WARNING This LED indicates an attention condition (something is not
working properly, but the amplifier is still running)
LED FAULT This LED indicates a fault (the amplifier is blocked, and
required the intervention of an operator for the restoration)
LED WAIT This LED indicates the status of waiting (the amplifier is tem-
porarily disabled, but will be reactivated automatically when
the blockage is removed, or after a set period of time depen-
ding on the type of protection)
LED INT.LCK This LED indicates an external inhibition. This check is run
on the parallel interface (JP4/4)
LED TX-BUS INT These LEDs indicate the activity of the serial bus 485 through
which the CU acquires the status every second of the modu-
les

5.3 Alarms
The menu Alarms of the control unit reports all the events connected to possible
malfunctioning of the equipment or due to external causes.
Each registration contains the reference to the concerned module, the kind of event and
its date and hour.

The module that detected the event is indicated by one of the following acronyms:
• C.U. (Control Unit)
• P.S. (Power supply)
• R.F. X (RF module number X - from 1 to 3)
• Combi (Combiner/Splitter)

The type of event allows to identify the origin and the consequence of the fault. The first
letter of the type of event can be one of the following:
W “Wait” event that causes the temporary block of the piece of equipment that will
be removed as soon as the problem is solved.
R “Retry”, event that causes a temporary block of the piece of equipment, that will
effect a restart attempt after a fixed lapse of time. (Max. 8 attempts)
F “Fault”, event that causes the block of the equipment and requires the intervetion
of an operator for the restart.
E “Error”, event that doesn’t cause the interruption of the supply of power, but can
reduce the functions of the equipment (e.g cannot be done the changeover fun-
ction of the exciters)

The possible event types are listed in the table below.

6.4 Parallel interface (opz.)(INTREMPJ5K)
A parallel-type interface is mounted on the top of the TXF6K-0161, in which the different
signals are available through terminal blocks (Figure 6.4.1). This interface is connected to
the CU from which it receives the different signals and to which the eventual commands
are forwarded.
The card contains digital inputs, digital outputs and analog outputs. Among the digital
inputs, a “copy” of all the possible orders that can be given locally to the unit by using the
buttons of the control unit are displayed.

Figure 6.4.1
The digital outputs supply information concerning the status of the PJ6KPS-CA.
The analogue outputs enable the remote control of the most important parameters, for
example the forward and reflected power.
This interface was designed for a maximum configurability and adaptability to the tel metry
systems to which it may be connected. For example, each digital input can be configured
through a jumper in order to be “active” when grounded or when connected to a supply
source between +12V and +24V.
The scheme of one generic digital input is shown in Figure 6.4.2 b). Please pay attention
to the anti-parallel type optocouplers, so that if the jumper is closed between the pins 1
and 2, by grounding the DIGITAL INPUT, the input is active. On the contrary by closing
2 and 3, the input is active when the DIGITAL INPUT is connected to a positive voltage.
Each digital output can be configured individually as “Normally open “ or “Normally
closed “ (NO or NC). In Figure 6.4.2 a) the scheme of a generic digital output is shown.
Please note that when the jumper is closed between 1 and 2, the output is normally short-
circuited with the common pin, while in the other case the circuit is normally open.
It is important to remember that the different commands can be given to the unit through
the parallel interface only if the Local/Remote selector situated on the front panel is on the
“Remote” position.

6.8 Services supply
The services of PJ6KPS-CA are supplied at 230V through a dedicated transformer.

Between the services, are included the microcontroller cards of RF modules, those of the
combiner and power supply and the control unit.

Supplying the services of the PJ6KPS-CA with an UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply), the
transmitter also in case of absence of mains power can be managed, naturally limitedly to
the functions available (for example configuration or interrogation of the alarms registry). The
normal configuration of the transmitter previews that the services are directly supply through
the connection to the electrical mains of the transmitter, in order to insert an UPS is sufficient

7 Unpacking, installation and use
This chapter contains the basic instructions for installing and using the PJ6KPS-CA amplifier.
If necessary, more in-depth information about the operating principles may be traced in the
next chapters.
7.1 Assembly
For practical reasons and for transport safety, the transmitter is usually supplied
disas-sembled to the customer. The assembly procedure is rather simple and can
be car-ried out by any qualified technician.

Caution: In order to avoid the risk of damaging the transmitter and/or of injuring
the operators, it is advisable to closely adhere to the instructions provided below.
always respect all the safety regulations and standards in force.

Identify the transmitter components:

• The rack (various components are assembled, such as the coupler, the splitter,
the control unit, the main blower) [Figure 5-1 a)]
• The Rejected load [Figure 5-1 b)]
• The 3 RF modules [Figure 5-1 c)]
• The exciters [Figure 5-1 d)]. (As a rule the amplifier is supplied as a complete
transmitter. This example shows two PTXLCD exciters produced by R.V.R.
Elettronica. Usually the exciters are pre-assembled inside the rack).

Check that all the components are in perfect working order. Should there be any
kind of problem, for instance if there is any damage caused by the transport of the
components, read the instructions associated with the Warranty at the beginning
of this manual (chapter 2).
1. Install the rack in the location where the transmitter will work. The rack is mounted
on wheels for simplifying its movement, therefore after having positioned it
where expected, it is advisable to use the four screws at the bottom of the rack
to steady it perpendicular to the ground.
The transmitter is cooled by forced ventilation. The air outlet is on the transmitter’s
roof whereas in the standard configuration the air intake is envisaged at the
back of the transmitter. If you opt for this solution, install the transmitter at least
50 cm. away from the back wall, so that air can flow under optimal conditions.
2. Remove the protection panels of the RF modules .

The modules have a groove at the top and one at the bottom: insert the modules
so that the guides in the compartment fit into these grooves. Slide the module
until the two fixing screws fit into their seats. Then tighten the fixing screws at
the same time so that the module inserts into its compartment remaining parallel
until it is perfectly in place.
4. Connect the transmitter’s main power supply cable. Route the cable (5-pole
type) through the raceway on the transmitter’s roof [Figure 5-5 a)] and fix the
conductors to the terminals of the top [Figure 5-5 b)].

PJ6KPS-CA

Caution: The connection of the transmitter to the electric alimentation is performed

! fixing to a 5 poles cable with bare terminals to a terminal block. Making sure without
any possibility of error that the cable is not under tension while working on it.
It is reccomended not to turn on the transmitter without first have connected the
RF exit to the antenna or to the dummy load!
The PJ6KPS-CA requires a three power supply 3F (black, brown and grey) + N
(blue) + GND (green yellow) able to give 50A for phase. Keep this requirement in
mind in connecting to the personal distribution board.

5. Reposition the protection panels of the RF modules.

6. If the PJ6KPS-CA was not supplied complete with pre-assembled exciters, insert
and connect the exciters into the appropriate housings.
7.2 First start
This section describes the procedure for powering-on the transmitter the first time.
For simplicity’s sake, the automatic control capacities of the exciters are temporarily
disabled.
7.3 Preliminary operation
Before activating this piece of equipment, the necessary connections must be
performed, and in particular:
• Power supply (MUST BE EQUAL TO WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED THE
Transmitter, OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT PERMANENTLY DAMAGE, R.V.R.
ELETTRONICA S.r.l. DOESN’T ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY.)
• Modulating signals
• RF load (antenna feeder or dummy load).

The transmitter’s RF output is the 1+5/8” or 3 1/8” EIA flanged type and is accessed
on the roof of the PJ6KPS-CA. If a dummy load capable of dissipating the RF
power generated by the transmitter is available, it is advisable to run the first tests
by connecting to it rather than to the transmission antenna.

Installation,operational & maintenance manual 75

PJ6KPS-CA
7.4 Power-on
When powering-on the transmitter the first time, perform the operations outlined in
the table below.

The “Result” column indicates the immediate results of the operations performed
plus a few indications that confirm that the transmitter is working efficiently.

Should any inconsistencies occur as compared to these indications, interrupt the

procedure and identify the reason for the malfunction before resuming the procedure.
Operation Result
Turn the “Mains” switch The whole transmitter is powered. The transmitter is activated
in the same status it was in when it was turned off the last time.
• Check in the menu “Power supply” > ”Mains” if ALARM,
overthrow RST phases, because the sequence is not
correct, therefore don’t start the boot sequence of the
transmitter.
• Check in the menu “Power supply” > ”Safety” if ALARM
means that the emergency button is pressed.
Press the OFF key of the control unit
RF emission by the transmitter is inhibited; the exciters are off; the RF
amplifier modules are off
Press the EXCITER CHANGEOVER key of the control unit
The automatic management for the exciters changeover is disabled.
The MANUAL LED must be on (otherwise press the key again)
Press the STDBY key of the control unit
The exciters are turned on in interlock status. The RF amplifying
modules stay disabled. Being in manual modality, the exciters could be
unlocked to verify the operation (see 7.5).
Set the parameters of the control unit
This procedure is described in chapter 5 on in this manual. The control
unit communicates the nominal power and reduced power values to the
RF modules. It also handles the coaxial relays so that the on air exciter
is the desired one and sets the exciter to ON mode
Set the exciters Adhere to the instructions of the exciters used for setting the required
work frequency on the exciters. Regulate the output power of the
exciters to 20/22 W.
Press POWER LOWER and ON
The current exciter is activated (the interlock is released from the
exciter) and its power emission is enabled. The power emitted by the
PJ6KPS-CA amplifier increases gradually until it attains the level that
had been set previously as “Reduced power”. Check the emitted power
level on LCD display.
Press NOMINAL POWER
Power supplied by PJ6KPS-CA increases and attains the set nominal
value. Check it on the analog instrument.

When the transmitter is on and works at its nominal power, the whole series of
“accessory” checks and settings deemed necessary may be carried out before
starting up the transmitter.
7.5 Control unit settings
The settings of the control unit that are required for starting up the transmitter,
mentioned in the powering-on procedure, are the following:
1. Setting of the power levels
2. Setting of the on air exciter

The new power level is transmitted to the combiner module and then stored in EEPROM
only when the ESC button is clicked.

When inside this menu, it is advisable to check the date and time lines and update
them if necessary. Note: the date and time are used only for marking the events in
the alarms register.
NB
The date and time do not need to be updated in the transmitter in order for it to work
efficiently.

On having completed these settings, click ESC to return to the selection screenful.

In order to set the on air exciter, select the Exciters menu [Figure 5-9]. Take into
consideration the On Air Exciter line: the number to the right indicates the exciter
being used. To change it simply highlight the line and click OK.

To have the correct efficiency of the transmitter, the exciters should

stay at 20/22 W, unless stated otherwise indicated on the modulator,
depending on the version and frequency. The power of the transmitter
should be adjusted from the menu “Settings”.

The exchange of the exciters is assisted from the software, that is when the
commutation is carried out , the interlock comes systematized in the correct way
independently from like they were. The interlock could be modified also manually in
case of necessity.

7.6 Management of the exciters

The control unit can perform the automatic changeover between exciters if one
malfunctions. The Manual LED on the panel indicates, when it is lighted up, that the
automatic changeover function is disabled. In order to enable it, click the EXCITER
CHANGEOVER button and check that the LED turns off.

In function of the state of the PJ6KPS-CA automatism, the behavior of the transmitter
will be various. In this chapter are described the different cases.

7.6.1 Start-up from power-on with exciters in manual mode

When powering on the transmitter with the exciters in manual mode, the transmitter
does not perform any check, both mute RF signals are active and the changeover
relay remains in standby status. Use the exciters menu to activate an exciter.
NB
This is why, if the transmitter is left in manual mode, any momentary power failure
will cause the transmitter to be inactive when turned on again. Therefore it is
advisable to leave the PJ6KPS-CA in automatic mode when you are not performing
maintenance operations.

7.6.2 From OFF to ON with exciters in manual

When switching from OFF (or STDBY) to ON with the exciters in manual mode,
the transmitter does not perform any check and the exciter that is currently set to
on air is the one that is aired.

If the mains signal is not OK, the exciters turn off automatically.

If the maximum drive power is exceeded during operations, the PJ6KPS-CA is set
to fault status and power supply is cut to the exciters. A message in the alarms
menu signals this fault.

When the transmitter is set to STDBY, the mute RF signals of the exciters are not
activated and may be modified by the operator.

When the transmitter is set to EXT INT or AUX INT, the mute RF signals of the
exciters are not activated and may be modified by the operator.

PJ6KPS-CA
7.6.3 Automatic changeover
When the PJ6KPS-CA is in the exciter automatic changeover mode, the power
emitted by the on air exciter is checked constantly. If at any time the on air exciter
is no longer good (i.e. power drops to below the preset level), the transmitter is
kept operational whereas the exciter connected to the internal Dummy Load turns
on. If the latter one is good (i.e. it is capable of supplying the required power), then
the two exciters are changed over. Instead if the alternative exciter is not good, no
changeover takes place, the control unit commands the mute RF of the exciter to
Dummy Load, it waits 120 s. and repeats the attempt. This procedure is repeated
indefinitely until one of the two exciters is considered to be good.

During the whole length of time during which there is no good exciter, the PJ6KPS-
CA keeps the WAIT LED on for signaling this status.

Each exciter is fitted with its own mute RF. On being commanded, the piloting signal
must return to zero within 3 seconds at the most. If this does not occur, the fault is
recorded by an error message that is entered in the alarms menu.

If the mains signal is not OK, the exciters turn off automatically. If the piloting power
exceeds the limit during operations, the PJ6KPS-CA is set to the FAULT status
and the power supply of the exciters is turned off. A message in the alarms menu
signals the fault. Keep in mind that the operator’s intervention is required to exit
from the FAULT status.

If the MAINS signal coming from the bus is not OK, the exciters are all turned off.
As soon as the MAINS signal is regular again, the evaluation cycle of the exciters
begins (see 7.6.4).

When the transmitter is set to STDBY, the mute RF signals of the exciters are
activated and as such both exciters are inhibited. If the ON key is pressed, the
system re-evaluates both exciters in the same manner as in the procedure from
OFF to ON (see 7.6.4).

When the transmitter is set to EXT INT or AUX INT, the mute RF signals of the
exciters are activated and therefore both exciters are inhibited. When the external
interlocks are released, the system re-evaluates both exciters as during the phase
from OFF to ON (see 7.6.4).
7.6.4 Phase from ON to OFF
When the transmitter is set to OFF status and you press the ON button, the power
supply of the exciters is activated and the logic starts to evaluate the exciters. During
the evaluation phase, the WAIT LED stays ON.

When the transmitter is turned OFF, it memorizes the exciter on air. Consequently
when the transmitter restarts it can attempt to restore the previous conditions. On
the transmitter restarting, if the exciter that is to be aired does not attain the preset
power level whereas the spare one is operational, the transmitter performs the
changeover when the evaluation time (120 s.) expires.

Installation,operational & maintenance manual 79

PJ6KPS-CA
On the transmitter restarting, if both exciters do not attain the preset power level,
the transmitter airs the one that had been present when the transmitter was turned
off, after the evaluation time has expired.

7.6.5 Start-up with exciters in automatic mode

The sequence run by the PJ6KPS-CA, when the power supply is activated while
it is already in ON status and the exciters are in automatic mode, is identical to
the one run for switching from OFF to ON. The only difference is that a screenful
displays the countdown for determining the fault of the exciters. During this phase
the manual/automatic button is inhibited and in order to set the exciters to manual
mode you must press the OFF button of the transmitter.

7.6.6 Audio alarm

The control unit of the PJ6KPSCA can manage a fault signal, for each exciter, which
normally has an “Audio Alarm” meaning. The control software of the PJ6KPS-CA
does not intervene in triggering these signals since they must be checked by the
exciters (or by any other connected devices).

The Audio Alarm signals are made up of two inputs for the logical signals on the
parallel interface and on the “mute RF” command connector of the exciters.

The control unit manages these signals just like it manages the power good signals:
• Each “Audio alarm” signal is associated with its own exciter
• If the audio signal, associated with the exciter that is currently on air, enters an
alarm status, the PJ6KPS-CA waits for the time configured in the exciter menu
before it attempts the restoring operation
• If the audio of the aired exciter is still in alarm status on the elapsing of the
aforesaid time interval, the control unit checks if the audio of the exciter on the
dummy load is regular. In this case the changeover between the exciters is
performed.

Observe the following differences as compared to the case in which power is missing:
• The management of the “Audio alarm” signals is not active during the start-up
phase and during the switching phase from OFF to ON, but only when the exciters
are working in automatic.
• In the standard configuration, the aforesaid sequence continues until the audio
signal associated with one of the exciters becomes regular again. In the “N+1”
configuration, the switching attempt is performed only twice, after which the
PJ6KPS-CA enters the fault status.
• An Audio Alarm output is provided on the parallel interface: this signal is activated
(with no delays) when the audio of the exciter that is currently on air is in alarm
status.

7.6.7 Protection and alarms
The PJ6KPS-CA contains a complete protection and alarms system, both at the
individ-ual modules level and at the control unit level.

The modules are fitted with a micro-processor-based system that manages any
malfunctions locally. The associated information is communicated to the control
unit for displaying and storing the events and for the centralized management of
the events that require it.

Certain LEDs of the PJ6KPS-CA panel are dedicated to the management of the
alarms:

LED Description
WARNING This LED indicates a warning (something is not correctly working, but
the amplifier is still working)
FAULT This LED indicates a fault (the amplifier is shut off, the operator’s
intervention is required)
WAIT This LED indicates the wait status (the amplifier is temporarily off, it will
be restarted as soon as the reason that keeps it from working will be
removed, or after a fixed amount of time depending on the reason of
the intervention of the protection system)

The ALARM RESET button is used for resetting the alarms and restarting the
transmitter.

A complete description of the alarms and protection system is given in chapter 5.3.

8 Troubleshooting
ANY PROBLEMS AT FIRST START:

1) DOES NOT TURN ON THE DISPLAY:

• Was not connected to the bridge VDE on the top
• Have not been properly connected the wires to the terminals of power supply 400Volt
• You have not activated the automatic of services

2) TURN ON THE LED WARNING:

• Check in the menu “Power supply” > ”Mains” if ALARM, overthrow RST phases, because
the sequence is not correct, therefore don’t start the boot sequence of the transmitter.
• Check in the menu “Power supply” > ”Safety” if ALARM means that the emergency button is
pressed.

3) TURN ON THE LED FAULT:

• Check in the menu “Power supply” > “Alarms: C.B. Pwr Fan” if ALARM means that the cir-
cuit breaker of input air, on the electromechanical section is disconnected.

4) TRANSMITTER ON BUT THE MODULES ARE NOT POWERED BY 42 VOLTS DC:

• The breakers of each module are disabled, arming the breakers and see if you turn on the
green LED on the front panel
• Check that there is not an interlock due to incorrect connection of the relay contact on the
coaxial, or because of the relay mounted inverted

5) MODULES POWERED (GREEN LEDS ON), BUT IS NOT EMITTED POWER:

• Check:
- exciter power, present?
- the set value corresponds to the one on the card test?
- exciter’s power goes to TX or DUMMY LOAD inside? if it goes to the LOAD switch to TX

6) THE POWER COMES FROM THE TX BUT IMPOSES A LIMIT?

• Check RFL, if the power exceeds 1800W TX goes into foldback and imposes a limit on the
power
• If the value of the RFL is greater than 500W, check the connection between the TX and the
antenna or coaxial relay or filter or LOAD, which is not correct

7) THE OUTPUT POWER IS CORRECT, BUT NO SOUND?

• check if the input set to the modulator, corresponds to the signal at input
