PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system. The TEX150-LCD/ S achieves frequency lock in a maximum time of thirty seconds from switch-on. The TEX150-LCD/S is able to work on the entire frequency band without the need for calibration or setting.

Use the following type of fuse: 6.3 A 5x20 Make sure the TEX150-LCD/S switches are in the “OFF” position. The exciter features two switches: one built into the VDE base for the mains power supply cable, which cuts off mains power completely, and the second is located on the front panel and bypasses the machine’s switching power supply.
From the “Fnc” menu, enable power delivery. 5.3 Settings and calibration The only manual adjustments required for the TEX150-LCD/S are those related to the levels and the audio operation mode. The back panel of the device features a trimmer for each exciter input; the labels indicate which trimmer refers to each input.
TEX150-LCD/S To adjust the input sensitivity level, remember that the preset menu contains the instantaneous modulation level and that an indicator reads a level of 75 kHz. For a correct adjustment, we therefore recommend you apply to the machine input a level equal to the maximum level of your audio program and adjust the related trimmer until the instantaneous deviation coincides with 75 kHz.

TEX150-LCD/S The bar to the right of “Mod” indicates the modulation progress in real time; the broken bar indicates the maximum nominal modulation of 75 kHz (100%). To vary the set power level, select the line pertaining to power with the DOWN key and keep the ENTER key pressed until you have entered “modify”...

TEX150-LCD/S power goes below the Power Good threshold value, the machine changes the status of a pin contained in the DB15 “Remote” connector located on the back panel (fig. 6.2 note [14] ). The Power Good percentage value refers to the machine nominal power, i.e. 150W, and not to the direct delivered power.

TEX150-LCD/S By pressing and keeping pressed ENTER, you can change the set frequency with the UP (frequency increases) and DOWN keys. After having set the new frequency value, press ENTER to confirm your choice; the exciter will unlock from the current frequency (the “LOCK” LED goes off) and will lock on a new working frequency (“LOCK”...

TEX150-LCD/S 5.4.7 Channels menu (L&R) The right and left channel input levels are depicted with horizontal bars, as shown in the following figure. The hatched pointer indicates the level that corresponds with the total deviation at 100%, and is useful to regulate the input levels of the audio channels.
