FMTX100RBRX
Transmitter with integrated Baseband (multiplex)
PLL 87.7 – 108 MHz Rebroadcast Receiver
WARNING!
This Transmitter is capable of generating extremely high RF
potential. Touching internal parts, or the connected antenna
system, will cause serious RF burns. Antenna systems should be
installed such that exposure by any person to RF fields cannot
exceed safe limits. The permitted limits vary from country to
country. Expert advice should be sought about the safe
installation of this transmission system.
RISK OF FIRE!
RF (Radio Frequency) energy could cause ignition of combustible
surfaces during fault conditions. Installation should be left to
qualified personnel. RF can cause burns to skin. Ensure antenna
systems and feeder cables are not situated near, or could fall
onto, any combustible surface.

Page 7: Installation
Installation Connect a suitable rated test load to the RF OUPUT socket before connecting the unit to mains power. IMPORTANT! FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. Power-up the unit and reduce the output power (using the rear panel RF OUTPUT POWER ADJUST control) to the lowest level. -
Page 8: Operation
RF Power (using the rear panel RF ADJ control) to the desired level, not exceeding 125W. Operation The FMTX100RBRX is designed for continuous reliable transmission, however the fans must be periodically checked for correct operation and free airflow. The front panel display shows the transmission frequency, forward... - Page 9 Correct operation is confirmed by a front panel green STATUS LED. Should this turn red, the transmission system may shut down its RF output and will, in any case, require URGENT attention. The LCD display shows all main parameters so no further menus are provided or required (except frequency settings detailed above).
- Page 10 Ensure air vents and internal air tunnels are kept free from dust during operation. The cooling fans should be replaced after 40,000 hours of cumulative operation. This life rating is for guidance only and is subject to ideal environmental operating conditions. Replace any fan that fails or becomes slow or noisy, immediately.
