EUROTEL – ITALY TV Transmitter ETL0310 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION General description The Series ETL0310 Television (TV) Transmitter accepts at its input the Video programme signal and the Audio programme signal. The Video signal amplitude modulates the I.F. (Intermediate Frequency) Vision Carrier. The Audio signal frequency modulates the I.F. Sound Carrier.
VHF I “AB” Position 10 defines type of frequency generation. EuroTel now only supplies Synthesised Local Oscillators as standard equipment, so that there is always S in this position. Position 11 defines whether or not the I.F. PLL circuitry is included or not. Being included as standard equipment, there is always P in this position.
EUROTEL – ITALY TV Transmitter ETL0310 INSTALLATION The Series ETL0310 Television (TV) Transmitter is constructed in a 3U drawer that can be mounted in a 19” standard rack cabinet. The Transmitter can be supplied for stand-alone service, or for direct connection to the antenna: (TX suffix). In this case a band-pass filter is internally (UHF output) or externally (VHF output) installed.

EUROTEL – ITALY TV Transmitter ETL0310 Alphanumeric LCD display description Below we list the parameters displayed in an order that is logical and may not correspond to the actual sequence. The two rows of the alphanumeric LCD display can be indifferently configured to show one of the following quantities.
TV Transmitter ETL0310 EUROTEL - ITALY ⇒ Store LCD view ⇒ Clic sel to store ⇒ Turn PWR ON/OFF (Configure the R.F. output power enable) ⇒ Output PWR= ON (R.F. output Amplifier enabled) ⇒ Output PWR= OFF (R.F. output Amplifier disabled) Warning LED The yellow WARNING LED is normally dark.
Note: The front panel is equipped with an alphanumeric display and three pushbuttons: UP, DWN. and SEL. O At turn on the front panel display shows the following sequence: EUROTEL – BUILD DATE. The display then shows: L.O. CHANNEL = CH “NN”, where “NN” represents the working channel number. Then the display automatically locks to: CH “NN”...
TV Transmitter ETL0310 EUROTEL - ITALY Offset set-up instructions IMPORTANT NOTE: The desired value of frequency offset is selected in Hz, the circuit will choose the closest possible frequency. This procedure doesn’t require to pull out the Local Oscillator module and/or the use of the extension card since this function can be accessed from the front panel.
EUROTEL – ITALY TV Transmitter ETL0310 The theoretical consequence from the above is that the positioning of the pre-correction trimmers will be different, depending on the operating class of the R.F. amplifier to be corrected. In practice the difference is not as great as it could be expected, because normally R.F.
