1.1 General Description: SS-800AVS
This non-directional beacon is a dual carrier transmitter with an
adjustable output power of up to i00 watts. This is the power of
a single carrier° The second carrier is added to the first during
modulation. This produces a signal withan AM type waveform and an
SSB bandwidth. The bandwidth of a .dual carrier emission is the
same as the audio tone (either 1020 Hz or 400 Hz).
The transmitter operates on 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz or 48 VDC.
An automatic shutdown circuit is included that automatically shuts
down the transmitter if power falls below an adjustable level, if
the ident signal fails, or if extreme distortion is present. When
a dual system is used, the shutdown signal is used to transfer to
the standby transmitter°
A current and voltage limiter protects the transmitter from line
surges or voltage and current surges in the final due to accidental
shorts or improper tuning.
The transmitter is in a rain-tight enclosure that permits it to be
mounted out-of-doors at the base of the antenna.
