Re mote control system

This remote control system for FM transmitters can overall setting of transmitters. In case of failures in
the transmitter which is under control, the software
be operated by Cable or by GSM Modem; basically, of the remote control automatically sends an SMS
it allows monitoring and modifying remotely the warning message.

DESCRIPTION
All the main parameters (frequency, levels, mono-stereo- pre-emphasis, output power) are adjustable through the
keypad and are automatically stored in the memory, even in case of lack of mains. Many events can be stored; every
alarm information is advised with its start alarm date and the end alarm date.
The main measurements realized by this system are: value of modulation, heatsink temperature, mains line voltage,
voltage and current of the RF final stage, main oscillator faulty.
The transmitter can be controlled by means of the keypad or in remote mode.
As a monitor, a common personal computer can be connected on the dedicated connector on the front panel. By
simply installing an appropriate program on the PC, it is possible to set and see all the parameters.
Every transmitter can be connected to a GSM Modem with an external antenna, to link the transmitter to the public
telephone network. It is possible to control and modify all the parameters of the transmitter just like if the user were
on the site.

EG 10-DU – 650 W rms EG 20-DU – 1,3 KW rms
EG 02-TU – 2,5 KW rms EG 05-TU – 5 KW rms

The HIGH POWER air-cooled TV transmitters are solid state amplifiers designed for digital and analogue television
broadcast applications. The Output Power is adjustable from 650 W up to 5 kW rms in digital mode, and from 2.5kW
up to 20kW Peak sync in analogue.
The transmitter is composed of plug-in modules (max weight 25Kg ) designed with a modular up-gradable
configuration. The ultimate Broadband Splitter/Combiner has been realized according to a unique design, using a λ /4
90° serial feed combiner.
The vertical parallel AIR cooling system can safely operate in shelters with or without air exchange. Several smart
solutions have been introduced in the general design of the equipment. For instance: the cooling system is controlled
by an “intelligent” blowers device able to vary the speed of the fans in case of damage of one of them, thus granting
extra long duration to the fans and stable temperature on the heat sink. The “Anti Turbulence” heatsink has been
realized according to a special original shape to avoid turbulences in the air flow: by means of this simple trick, the
best cooling conditions have been obtained in the
entire power stage.
The high reliability of the heart of the equipment,
is mainly assured by using a limited number of
transistors to achieve a given RF power target and
by means of over dimensioned cooling devices:
broadcasters can thus significantly reduce their long-
term operating costs.
Ultimate and innovative microprocessor technologies
have been implemented for the protection of the
equipment in case of excessive SWR, and a really fast
protection circuit is used to save the RF modules from
overdrive, bad SWR figures and over-temperature.
The final power modules incorporate micro-strip
technology and LDMOS, MRF377H, transistors in push-
pull configuration. The RF Module design assures a
total redundancy by means of an independent and
high reliability driver on each final stage.

EML - EMDL

The EML SERIES mobile microwave links are designed


for long and medium distance applications, STL’s,
backbones, multi-hop systems, and other broadcast
requirements to deliver with broadcast-quality one
video and up to four high-quality audio channels (two
are optional) or data flows.
These links provide outstanding quality and reliability
together with ease of installation and
friendly use, especially by means of the fast
mechanical assembly system.
The EML Series microwave links are available
in different frequency ranges and are equipped
with
synthesized oscillators which allow changes of the
operational channel both from the outdoor RF head
and from the indoor console.
The EML Series links are used for analogue
applications or digital DVB-T application (EMDL
Series).
Tripods are fundamental accessories in the mobile
radio links since they play a basic role in the alignment
operation between two parabolic reflectors.
To avoid prejudice to the alignment stability, our
standard tripods are very stable devices and have a
great capacity of absorbing vibrations. Thanks to their
patented design, they can be quickly adapted to any
kind of grounds.
As an option, the EML Series mobile links may be
provided with a professional type of Tripods and a set
of special Trunks with wheels and handles for their
easy transportation and handling.

Megaline

UPS’s can protect systems against lightning strikes,


power failures, brownouts, surges, poorly conditioned
power feeds and offer an economical safeguard
against many forms of electrical spikes in the
frequency or the amplitude of the input voltage. In
case of critical environment with no proper protection
installed, these kinds of occurrences can cause
damage to the equipment or cause components not
to work or function properly.
In our MEGALINE UPS’s, the decoupling of the output
from the input makes it possible to operate the
equipment with a wide input voltage range, reducing
the number of battery switchovers and allowing
operation with GEN-SETS and frequency conversion.
Thanks to the special design of the inverter stage
which is always on line, the intervention time is nil.
The modular architecture of electronics and batteries
admits redundant configurations, simplified
maintenance and the possibility of fast expansions, to
provide your UPS with additional increased capability.
