Please note that trained and qualified personnel are required to install, maintain, and service this transmission equipment. 2 Organization of Manual This Manual is broken up into several sections.
TRN-U1D-C-FA Quick Start Guide 3 TX System Overview Final assembly and test of each transmitter are performed at the Anywave factory. The Exciter is set up on the desired channel frequency and the TX is tested with the complete RF system (if purchased) at full power into a load. All TX operating parameters are optimized and the Transmitter Forward and Reflected power meters are properly calibrated.
TRN-U1D-C-FA Quick Start Guide 4 TX System Interconnect The Anywave TRN U1D DTV Transmitter consists of an Exciter, a PA-U1D-C-FA PA, and a BPF (optional) with two additional single port couplers for Exciter feedback samples (optional). The diagram below shows the overall system interconnect between the system components.
