TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA 5. Installation and use This section provides a step-by-step description of equipment installation and configuration procedure. Follow these procedures closely upon first power-on and each time any change is made to general configuration, such as when a new transmission station is added or the equipment is replaced.
TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA 5.1 Preparation 5.1.1 Preliminary Requirements The equiment ventilation and the work space must be suitable for maintenance operations according to the directive in force in the country in which this device is installed. It is necessary to leave a minimum distance of 50 cm on the front and back sides of the device to have a proper functioning and to facilitate air circulation through the ventilation grids.
TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA TEX702LCD @ 90÷260 Vac Mains fuses (1x) 8A tipo 5x20 Table 5.1: Fuses 5.1.2 Placement of equipment Useful tips for a correct installation: • Do not use in presence of external elements near inlets and outlets ventilation systems, as they could prevent a proper ventilation of the device.

TEX702LCD, both with adequate earth connection. √ For operating tests only: dummy load with 50 Ohm impedance and adequate capacity (700W as a minimum for TEX702LCD). Connect the overall power cord of machine. The cable can be slid through the cable gland located on the back, or on the roof, of the machine and conductors must be attached to the general disconnecting switch terminals.

TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA N PE If transmitter require three-phase power with 3F (black, brown and grey) + N (blue) + GND (green yellow), keep in mind this requirement to connect to your distribution board. N PE Note: the mains must be equipped with adequate earth connection properly connected to the equipment.
Page 20
Note: to ensure the safety of the operators, carry out the wiring according to the laws and regulations in force in the country where this equipment is installed. Check that the POWER switch on the front of TEX702LCD is in the “OFF” position.
Page 21
TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA Note: to ensure both the safety of the operators and the correct functioning of the apparatus, it is essential that the network system is grounded, and that it is properly connected to the equipment. Useful tips for a correct connection: •...

Ensure that the POWER switch on the front panel of TEX702LCD is set to “OFF”. The transmitter has two switches: one is embedded in VDE socket for mains power cord and interrupts all mains power supply of the machine, while the second is on the front panel and acts by inhibiting the switching power supply of the machine.

TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA 5.1.5 First power-on and setup Perform this procedure upon first power-up and each time you make changes to the configuration of the transmitter this component is integrated into. Note : Standard factory settings are RF output power off (Pwr OFF) and regulated output power set to upper limit (unless otherwise specified by customer).

TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA W) reflects actual output power reading, which may be lower than regulated power supply when Automatic Gain Control is running in power supply limitation mode (please read section 5.3 about RF power supply modulation for more details). Note: Output power may be set using the Pwr OFF control. In this condition, the output power readout (Fwd) on the display will read 0 (zero);...
TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA To set subcarrier input levels, you may use the same procedure and option “x10” available in the Fnc menu. With this option, modulation level is multiplied by a factor of 10, which means that default menu bar meter reflects a 7.5 kHz deviation.

To recover the password, contact Customer Service by sending the alphanumeric PUK code of 6 characters generated automatically when entering the password.
WARNING: Equipment is capable of delivering more than rated output power (700 W for TEX702LCD); however, never exceed the specified power rating. NOTE: If power is set to 0 W in the Power Setup Menu, the INTERLOCK OUT contact is activated and any external appliances connected to it are immediately inhibited.

TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA As soon as operating conditions are restored, power output is re-enabled with the same settings in use prior to the alarm condition. Under 20kHz, no modulation occurs. After a preset time of about 5 minutes (not editable), a NO AUDIO condition is indicated in the main screen, but power is not inhibited.

TEX702LCD ELETTRONICA 5.3.5 Miscellaneous Menu (Mix) This menu lets you set equipment address in an I C bus serial connection: Menu 9 C address setting. The I2C network address becomes significant when the transmitter is connected in an RVR transmission system that uses this protocol.
NOTE: This function is typically used in the USA. The factory setting for frequency shift is +10KHz and code repetition period is 60 minutes (please contact R.V.R. Elettronica if you need different settings), whereas station identified may be programmed by the user following the indications provided in section below.
