PJ1000M-C 4. General Description RVR Elettronica’s PJ1000M-C is an extremely compact (just 3 U) 19” rack-mountable broadband MOSFET RF power amplifier for FM audio broadcasting. It works without adjustment in the whole 87.5-108MHZ FM band, its overall efficiency is about 70 %, so that its power consumption is just about 1450 W at its nominal 1000 W RF output.
265 V. The amplifier will perform automatic restart as soon as the problem in the mains supply will be removed. The PJ1000M-C includes a mains switch on the rear panel, completely breaking the mains supply. Verify that it is in the “Off” position.
Increase the exciter’s output power until the LED “AGC LOW” goes off and “AGC OK” is lit. This is the optimum driving condition. The PJ1000M-C is normally delivered with the output power set low (approx 50 W). The power setting can be performed directly or indirectly, depending on the exciter being connected ad active or not.
Remote mode is prioritaire. Before resetting the alarms, it’s necessary to pass in “local” mode! 5.3 Encoder The PJ1000M-C’s control system is based on a LCD and a knob (“encoder”). With this system the user can check and modify all the configurations, like powerlevel, power output activation, local or remote mode.
PJ1000M-C 6. Software The amplifier is fitted with a two lines LCD showing a set of menus. In some cases, the menu reports the indication “Push to Program”: in this case, pushing the encoder will enable the modification of the parameter, if necessary.
PJ1000M-C 6.3 Power Amplifier menu This screenful reports the power supply status of the RF amplifier: • Voltage (VPA) • Current (IPWS) VPA is the voltage at the input of the RF modules. Note that the output power level of the amplifier is controlled varying this voltage.
PJ1000M-C 6.6 Alarms menu This menu gives to the user all the information related to the embedded protection system of the amplifier.. It comprises a number of sub-menus, each containing the name of the variable checked by the protection system and the number of the protection interventions, due to this variable, performed by the system.
PJ1000M-C 6.7 Alarms sub-menus Maximum permitted reflected power Maximum permitted forward power Maximum input power Maximum permitted temperature at the RF amplifier section Maximum permitted temperature at the power supply section Maximum permitted current for the right couple of MOSFET modules...
Rotating the encoder, put the cursor on the desired choice. The external interlock permits to an external device, for example a telemetry system, to inhibit the power output of the PJ1000M-C, using the connectors “EXT SET” and “INTRLK IN” on the back of the machine.
In REMOTE mode, the machine will not be controlled by the encoder anymore. In particular, it’s not possible to switch the power ON and OFF, nor to adjust the output power. Never put the PJ1000M-C in Remote mode if you don’t know exaxtly what you do.
PJ1000M-C 6.10 Software release menu This screenful gives the release numbers of the different parts of the firmware controlling the amplifier, that is: • Overall management • Protection section • Telecontrol section These data will help the maintenance personnel to correctly identify your piece of equipment.
