  • Page 5: Section One : Introduction

    SECTION ONE : INTRODUCTION ! CAUTION ! These Transmitters operate at high RF power levels, internal supply energy levels and mains supply current levels. They also incorporate devices containing toxic BeO. Installation, operation and maintenance of this unit must therefore, only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel, familiar with and fully utilising the safety procedures such equipment demands.

    Each Amplifier also has its own front panel ‘mute’ switch, which is mechanically interlocked so that it has to be operated before the module can be removed. All other signal, 50V dc supply and control connectors are at the rear of the unit. The control connectors go to one of two independent internal Transmitter control buses.

    rear panel (E2023-03/04) with an additional TCP/IP monitor/control port on the rear (E2023-04 only). When the RS232 port is provided on the rear panel, no parallel monitoring is available. If a fault should occur within the E2023, manually operated switches on the E2024 Splitter/Drive Changeover Unit can be used for basic control of the Transmitter.

    Low Power potentiometers) to set the power level of the E2021 Amplifier Modules and thus the final Transmitter output power. One control voltage is used for the Amplifier Modules on the right hand A side of the Transmitter and the other for the Amplifier Modules on the left hand B side. Rear panel connectors give analogue dc output levels indicating the forward and reverse powers generated.

    1.3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The S7600 range of FM Transmitters is designed to meet or exceed ETSI Standards:- EN 301 489-01 : ERM/EMC for Radio Equipment, Part 1, Common Technical Requirements. EN 301 489-11 : ERM/EMC for Radio Equipment, Part 11, Specific Conditions for FM Transmitters. EN 302 018-02 : ERM (Spectral Occupancy) for the FM Radio Broadcast Services.

Asynchronous (residual AM due to hum and noise with no FM modulation) :- Not greater than 1% when measured unweighted in a 20Hz to 20kHz bandwidth.
  • Page 11: Section Two : Installation

    SECTION TWO : INSTALLATION ! CAUTION ! These Transmitters operate at high RF power levels, internal supply energy levels and mains supply current levels. They also incorporate devices containing toxic BeO. Before commencing installation, it is recommended that the complete INSTALLATION section is read and understood. The instructions should then be strictly followed, by suitably qualified personnel, otherwise sub- standard or even dangerous operation may result.

  • Page 13: External Conections

    2.2 EXTERNAL CONECTIONS 2.2.1 Mains Supply Connectors These are two independent 6 Way plugs at the rear of the Supply Disconnector section, CON02 and CON03. Having two enables use of independent ‘A/B’ power sources with the same or different phases. Each supply must be single phase, 176V to 264V AC, 47 - 63Hz. The maximum current drawn from each supply (at 230V AC) is in the order of 2A (for the S76005-02), 4A (for the S76005-01 or S7601) or 8A (for the S7602).

    2.2.2 RF Output Antenna Connector ! CAUTION ! When operating, high RF Voltages are present on this connector. Always ensure when making connections here, or working on any load connected, that the Transmitter’s front panel Supply Disconnector is switched to ‘off’ (i.e. at O) and is preferably padlocked in that position. This is a 50Ω...

    2.2.8 Second Transmitter Remote Control Connector This is a 15 Way D socket SK05 at the rear of the E2023 Control Unit. It is used to enable externally derived automatic control of Transmitter muting and high/low power level setting. Multi-core screened cable, not exceeding 3 metres in length, should be used for the interconnecting lead.

    2.3 SETTING UP PROCEDURES 2.3.1 Fuses If any problems occur after the Transmitter has been installed and switched on, fuses may need to be checked and possibly replaced. However, a blown or open-circuit resettable fuse would generally indicate the presence of a fault, which would need correcting. The type, function and access to fuses is as follows : Type Function...

    10) Slowly increase the selected Exciter/Drive(s) output power until 500W (on S76005) 1kW (on S7601) or 2kW (on S7602) is just obtained. To ensure complete accuracy, an external calibrated power meter should be used to measure this output power. Increase the input level by a further 1dB (approximately 20%).

    The preset control (marked ‘REV TRIP’) is at the rear left hand side of the printed circuit board. Care must be taken that none of the other four preset controls on the board are altered. Adjust the control anti-clockwise until the output power reaches a maximum. Note that if this preset control is ever advanced too far clockwise, this may cause a decrease in output power with less than 13, 25 or 50W reverse power, i.e.

    However, a PC program with a dedicated textual and/or graphical user interface is required for proper implementation of a remote control and monitoring system. Eddystone Broadcast should be contacted for further information regarding such programs and hardware implementations using the RS232 port directly or via USB or TCP/IP adaptors.

  • Page 31: Automatic Control

    3.4 AUTOMATIC CONTROL The E2023 Controller Unit also enables various forms of automatic control such as dual Exciter/Drive changeover, muted/reduced power operation etc. or any normal combination of them. For dual Exciter/Drive changeover, the E2024 AUTO – SELECT A – SELECT B switch must be set to AUTO.
  • Page 32 When the E2024 AUTO – MUTE – START switch is set to MUTE or START (i.e. manual control), the display shows the actual switch setting and the manual setting of high/low power (‘Manual=’). The latter can only be done by an internal link (i.e. this setting of high/low power cannot be done from the front panel).
