Hand Book T25000 - DESCRIPTION The T25000 is an amplifier for the transmission of frequency modulation (total deviation 150 KHz) using a thermionic tube in an amplifying cavity with adjustable input and output frequency tuning. Conceived as the final stage in a transmission system, it requires a modulator and other intermediate stages of amplification housed in the same or separate mechanical structure.

Hand Book T25000 - TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The T25000 unit is composed of various functional elements: power amplifying cavity which houses the thermionic tube, (this is a triode with direct cathode heating, configured in common grid mode with input signal to the cathode and output from the anode); low-pass output filter for the suppression of harmonic components of the carrier frequency;...
Hand Book T25000 - USER INTERFACE AND LOGIC OF OPERATION The display of all controls and operational parameters are situated on the unit's front panel. Any suspension of operation, whether temporary or indefinite, results in the thermionic tube's HT anode supply being shut down and the disabling of the modulator's supply.

Hand Book T25000 - The ON indicator light indicates that the T25000 is powered by the line supply. The flashing SAFETY light indicates that the equipment is not in a safe condition to operate at high voltage and is thus in a protection state. This happens when a panel is open or an important electrical connector is not inserted correctly.

Hand Book T25000 - transformer sensor detects that normal temperatures have been restored. The most probable causes of this anomaly are excessive ambient temperatures, or inefficient air filters. The flashing UNDER PRESSURE light indicates that the pressure of cooling air within the amplifying cavity is insufficient.

They will be extinguished when the T25000 power stage is faulty or has been shutdown by the operator. An hour counter is located on the front panel which registers the number of hours that the unit has been connected to the line supply.
If the T25000 is the largest source of heat of the entire system, and if the ambient temperature is 25°C, at least 2000m³ per hour should be removed. If the temperature is 45°C then at least 3000m³ per hour should be evacuated.

Make absolutely certain that this earth conductor is connected to the earth terminal of the whole T25000 unit. Do not connect the central node of the star of the transformer primary to the neutral of the line supply. Connect the anode transformer primary to the intended, heavy-section cables with the terminals best suited for high voltage operation (see the diagram for three-phase connection).

RF input of any second intermediate stage. The RF output of the unit preceding the final T25000 amplifier is connected to the input of the low- pass filter which finally supplies the input of the final amplifying cavity. The RF connection is complete when the power output of the T25000 is connected to the radiating system.
Hand Book T25000 - INSTALLATION OF THE THERMIONIC TUBE When the T25000 amplifier is in its final position, installation of the thermionic tube may proceed. The directions which follow are also valid for periodic replacement of the thermionic tube; for this reason it is a good idea to leave a copy of the technical manual available nearby.
Arrange all the other transmission system apparatus in their final positions. Included with the T25000 unit is a kit of sleeves made from material which are used to close the three wide access points which correspond to the entrance and exits of the RF cables and the hot air exit. The application of the three sleeves is clear, their function is to prevent the ingress of insects or organic vegetable material into the equipment.
ST BY position (advised). Switch on the three phase equipment to check for correct rotation of the three phase cooling fans. In the case of the T25000, if the connection of the three phases is correct, 3 seconds after switch-on, the UNDER PRESSURE indicator, located on the front panel, will go out.
Hand Book T25000 - TUNING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: The T25000 unit is factory-adjusted (if no other request has been made) to operate at 98MHz. The tuning adjustments are motorised and controlled by 4 controls (UP/DOWN) on a switchboard located on the front panel. Two choices are available: FAST adjustment and SLOW adjustment, depending on the position of the selector key on the front panel.

ANODE TUNING (top right) to maximise the relative power output and thus the electrical efficiency of the T25000. These instructions refer to output tuning, however it will be necessary, during this procedure, to also optimise the input tuning in order to minimise the reflected power reading of the driver stage.
Hand Book T25000 - OPERATIONAL LIMITS The T25000 power amplifier can function at full power if the ambient conditions fall within the limits defined in the chapter entitled "First Phase of Installation". The maximum altitude of the installation must not exceed 2000m above sea level to guarantee maximum RF power output. If the altitude of the installation does exceed 2000m, the specified RF power output must be reduced, also in correlation with the ambient temperature.
This is essential mainly if the radiating system is suffering adversely from the external ambient conditions. Several parts of the T25000 are employed in the filtering of the cooling air; depending on the relative ambient conditions, the anti-dust filters will need replacing at intervals dependant on the quality of air in the area.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE FILAMENT VOLTAGE The filament of the thermionic tube installed in the T25000 is powered by an AC stabilised circuit with a precision of better than 1.5%. The filament voltage has a very important influence on the operational life of the thermionic tube, that is, the lower the voltage, the longer the life of the tube.
Hand Book T25000 - REMARKS ON ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS We in these notes explain how interpret the electrical schemes that follows this page. All electronic components are installed on various mechanical panels, a drawing shows their positions with a reference label. A special drawing represents the frontal panel and helps to find the various warning indications and status conditions of the machinery.
