VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual About safety All Nautel transmitters are designed to meet the requirements of EN60215, Safety Requirements for Radio Transmitters. The philosophy of EN60215 is that the removal of any cover or panel that can only be opened using a tool is a maintenance activity, and that any person performing a maintenance activity is expected to be trained for that activity.

VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Lightning hazards Before opening the transmitter and touching internal parts, remove and solidly ground the antenna connection. WARNING: It is not enough to ground the antenna terminal with the antenna still connected. Even a small impedance in the ground strap will result in lethal voltages during a lightning strike.
Personnel must be familiar with the transmitter, so that they can avoid physical danger, and be aware of hazards to themselves and the equipment. Nautel offers a number of training courses covering the basic fundamentals of RF systems and transmitters, and the operation and maintenance of the transmitter. For more information about available courses and schedules, go to the Nautel website at http://www.nautel.com/Training.aspx,...
Page 18
Operation of safety interlocks (if installed) First aid Nautel does not offer first aid training, since the hazards associated with high voltage and RF energy are not specific to the transmitter. However, the customer should provide first aid training to all per- sonnel who have access to the transmitter site.

VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Marking hazards Place warning signs close to any hazardous areas or systems (e.g., the feedline or the antenna system). Make the signs large enough that they cannot be missed. Provide signage in all languages used in the region.

VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Responding to alarms Remote troubleshooting Remote on-air troubleshooting consists of monitoring the transmitter's radiated signal using an on-air monitor or via a LAN connection, and observing the status of each remote fault alarm indicator. Information obtained from these sources should enable an operator to decide whether an alarm response may be deferred to a more convenient time, an immediate corrective action must be taken, or if a standby transmitter must be enabled (if one is available).
VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Responding to alarms Electrostatic protection The transmitter's assemblies contain semiconductor devices that are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge. The following precautions must be observed when handling an assembly which contains these devices. CAUTION: Electrostatic energy is produced when two insulating materials are rubbed together.

Pre-amp/IPA PWB (NAPA28B) - see page 2-3 • Power amplifier PWB (NAPA31B) - see page 2-4 VS2.5 electrical schematics The descriptions in this section all refer to the VS2.5 electrical schematics listed in Table 5.1 on page 5-5 of the VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual.
See electrical schematic Figure SD-3. Interfacing The PS distribution PWB provides the interface between the VS2.5’s power supplies and the rest of the transmitter. It passes: – ac voltage from the AC INPUT (U1) to the power supply modules (U1, U2 and U3).
VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Detailed Circuit Descriptions Fan monitoring 8-bit shift register IC U5 accepts the fan tach signals from fans B1 and B2 and converts them to a serial data stream on the MISO 165 output (J2-4). This output is applied to the exciter/control PWB for monitoring purposes.
VS2.5 Troubleshooting Manual Detailed Circuit Descriptions including capacitor C18 and inductor L10, which provide impedance matching to transform the 50 ohm input to low impedance for application to Q2. Additional micro-strip transmission line sections at the output of Q2, as well as inductors L16 and L17 and capacitors C25 through C27, impedance match the RF Output signal to 50 ohms.
