AC Entrances A 3-prong plug (IEC-C20), if manufactured after 1 / 2009, or a twist-lock
connector (Hubble HBL2625), is provided on the rear of the transmitter cabinet.
One mating cable-end connector is shipped with each transmitter.
Grounding/earthing A #10-32 threaded ground stud is provided on the rear of the transmitter cabinet
near the AC mains connector. A flexible braided cable of tinned copper should be
used to connect between the transmitter cabinet ground and the station RF earth
ground. A #10 ring lug is to be crimped and soldered to the cable end that is to be
connected to the transmitter ground stud. The connection to the station ground
should first be bolted and then soldered or brazed for low resistance. The AC
mains earth conductor should also be connected to the same earth ground.

Cooling Air Volume, ft /min 300 cfm (8.5 cmm)
Air Outlet Size The air inlet is through a filtered 7” x 10” (17.8 cm x 25.4 cm) front panel grill. The
exhaust air outlet is through a ventilated area on the rear of the transmitter
enclosure. The air outlet is approximately 6 “ x 12” (15.2 cm x 30.5 cm). One
replacement inlet air filter is shipped with each transmitter.

RF Output Connector Type ‘N’, female.
Remote Control Connections Standard hardwired remote control interface is a 25-pin female ‘D’ connector. An
optional remote web interface is available and utilizes an RJ45 connector. Both
interfaces are located on the rear of the transmitter.
NOTES:
1. At full output power. Fuse/breaker size should be reduced for significantly lower permanent operating power levels,
maintaining a 2X factor above the normal operating current. Contact Harris salesman or factory for the expected value.
2. Wall-mounted fused disconnect or breaker is customer-supplied item. An RK5 class fuse such as the Bussman FRN-R
(250V), FRS-R (600V) or LittleFuse FLNR (250V), FLSR (600V) is recommended. If a circuit breaker is used it should have a
trip curve similar to that of the RK5 fuse trip curve.
3. All transmitter wiring should be done in conformance with the NEC and local electrical codes.
4. See Harris drawing 839-8464-031 for complete dimensional information. DGV 4-3-12 REV C
