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.

- Full-Digital RDS coder total software remote control broadcasting field.
- Advanced dynamic PS management (i-PS technology)
- Easy interface to hard disk automation systems
Using state-of-art, high-speed DSP technology, CR 102 ensures the purest modulation quality (the whole processing is
performed by phase linear filters).
Its digital architecture also guarantees long term reliability and easy firmware updates.
A powerful PC control software is integrated in the equipment.
The CR 102 allows the control and setting in an easy and intuitive way of all RDS data and of signal generation
parameters (level and phase, synchronism source, etc).
The basic software screen, always displays in real time PS and RT content currently on air, allowing a full and
immediate monitoring of RDS broadcasting, even when an FM tuner is not available.
A software module available as an option (i-PS technology), further boosts the new PS management features: it
eliminates every PS programming constraint leaving maximum freedom in terms of message length, save / recalling
facilities and message editing masks.
Any text can be entered and broadcasted ‘on-the-fly’, both as a full PS sequence or in a scrolling mode.
Furthermore, featuring a true ASCII communication protocol, i-PS software module enables the CR 102 coder to be
easily and quickly interfaced to any hard disk automation system, for song and artist identification on PS fields and
much more...!

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.
