  • Page 2: General Description

    NT 150 Transmitter Exciter INTRODUCTION The NT 150 FM Exciter is the latest in state of the art products available from Nicom. This Transmitter is designed with high reliability components and is intended to give many years of trouble free continuous service. This unit incorporates many features including a switching power supply and a PLL frequency synthesizer.
  • Page 3: Remote Control Feature

    NicomUsa Inc REMOTE CONTROL FEATURE The NT 150 is equipped with a 9 pin RS 232 connector that allows all the mains telemetry functions. The software is supplied with the unit and with this CD rom it's possible to monitor and to change the main parameters ot the NT 150 on the computer's screen.
  • Page 4: Running The Program

    NT 150 Technical and Maintenance Manual NicomUsa Inc RUNNING THE PROGRAM Once the program is running, from the main screen it is necessary to click the POWER ON button; the screen will light up and a message" COMMUNICATION IN PROGRESS" will appear.
  • Page 5 NT 150 PROGRAMMING Connect a 50 ohm load or 50 ohm antenna to the RF output, connect the equipment into a mains supply (100÷240 VAC). The equipment is factory pre-set to 50 W. Switch ON the power and the yellow V POWER LED will light.
  • Page 6 The default frequency is 98.000 MHz. To display the frequency push the SETTING key. In order to display the parameter push the SELECT key. Display Password The Password mode is factory set to enable, and is not possible change this setting. The default password is 1 2 3.
  • Page 7: New Password

    If the password is not correct an error is displayed: PROGRAM ERROR PASSWORD SETTING After a few seconds the display will show the parameters again. • When the password is correct, the display will show: PROGRAM NEW PASS . = SET. NEW FREQ .
  • Page 8: Error Confirmation

    Once the password is set, it must be remembered, otherwise neither the frequency nor the password can be reset and the unit will have to be returned to Nicom for resetting. Display Change of Frequency. • Press the PROGRAM key for 3 seconds and enter the correct password.
  • Page 9 When the new frequency is chosen, then press the SETTING key confirm it. After a “WAIT CYCLE”, the display will show the parameters: PROGRAM MOD > FRW 50W RFL 0.4W SETTING After 7 minutes the display light will switch off and the display will show: PROGRAM NICOM MHz 103.900 SETTING...
