    RF amplified signal to be forwarded to the antenna output. The HC4 is produced in the version for four transmitters of 1 kW max output power everyone (total 4 kW).
  • Page 12 In this way, it is possible to interact (locally or remotely) with the device even in absence of mains supply. The HC4 can be connected to the exciter of the transmitter using a “interlock” cable, so that it is possible for it to deactivate RF power emission in case of misfunctioning of the transmitting system.

  • Page 13: Installation And Use

    RF amplifiers. In the following description, we will in general refer to these external devices. As soon as the HC4 is supplied, verify that the ON LED is lit. The LCD display shows a presentation screen, and after a few seconds it will pass to the default screen, showing the values of the forward and reflected power..

  • Page 14: Software

    Otherwise, the user will only be allowed to read the parameters, but not to change any of them. The management of the HC4 is performed by a generic software used in different classes of equipment produced by R.V.R. Elettronica SpA, like the HC combiners or the RF amplifiers PJ500M-C and PJ1000M.

  • Page 16 From this menu, the user can “switch” ON and OFF the hybrid coupler. The result of this command is that when the HC4 is put in OFF mode, the inner conductor of the “Alarm” connector is shorted to ground, so that the exciter is put in stand-by mode (this will happen only if provided with an interlock connector, and if correctly connected with the hybrid coupler).

    9. Theory of Operation The figure shows the block diagrams of HC4. The blocks are described in the following chapter: 9.1 Power supply This equipment has only a transformer with different outputs. The used outputs are: 0-18V for the supply of the remote card and 0-11,5V for the CPU section. The rectifiers and the stabilizers are in the two cited cards.

  • Page 32: Remote Card

    The hybrid coupler is factory-adjusted so that the transmitter it is included in will work satisfyingly works over the whole FM band. Cases may happen, that it is necessary to perform the RF adjustment of the HC4, for example if the RF interconnection cables with the amplifiers have been sustituted with other of slightly different characteristics or length, or if it is desirable to optimize the transmitter’s performances on a certain frequency.
  • Page 33 and at minimum power. On the coupler, set the display for the visualization of forward power. Set the variable capacitor in their middle position. Gradually increase the exciter power until the overall output power of the transmitter reaches around the 80% of its nominal power. Adjust the variable capacitors (1) and (2) (Figure 9.1) related to the first amplifier, to maximize the forward power measured in the coupler Figure 9.1...

  • Page 35: Maintenance Procedures

    MAINTENANCE LEVEL 1 10.3 Routine Maintenance The only regular maintenance needed by HC4, is the periodic substitution of the blowers, and the cleaning of dust filters and any dust accumulated inside the amplifier. The time between overhauling of the blowers depends upon several environmental factors, temperature, humidity, dust pollution etc.
  • Page 36 10.4.2 Unbal Power Card Replacement • Open the top and bottom covers of the unit. • Unsolder the wires connecting the unbal power card to the other devices. • Unsolder the coaxial cable that connecting the unbal power card to the power coupler.
