FMTX2
Stereo FM Transmitter with integrated
Audio Processor, Stereo Encoder
and RDS Encoder
WARNING!
This Transmitter is capable of generating RF potential. Touching
internal parts, or the connected antenna system, may cause RF
burns. Antenna systems should be installed such that exposure
by any person to RF fields cannot exceed safe limits. The
permitted limits vary from country to country. Expert advice
should be sought about the safe installation of this transmission
system.
RISK OF FIRE!
RF (Radio Frequency) energy could cause ignition of combustible
surfaces during fault conditions. Installation should be left to
qualified personnel. RF can cause burns to skin. Ensure antenna
systems and feeder cables are not situated near, or could fall
onto, any combustible surface.

Touching internal parts, or the connected antenna system, may cause RF burns. Antenna systems should be installed such that exposure by any person to RF fields cannot exceed safe limits.
- Page 2 WARNING! Never operate this device without a suitable 50 ohm load connected to the RF OUTPUT socket, or without a suitably installed and matched antenna system connected. Although the output of this transmitter is protected against antenna load faults, MIS-OPERATION MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY.
- Page 3 Windows™ Laptop or PC, plugged into a USB port located on the back panel. At the heart of the FMTX2 is a high quality PLL modulator, and the RF Power Amplifier uses the latest high-gain Enhancement Mode MOSFET device, achieving new levels of efficiency and reliability.
- Page 4 further testing to ensure that it remains compliant with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of current EU Low Voltage, EMC and Radio Equipment Directives. Approval and clearance from the Spectrum Management Authority may also be required. Installation must adhere to safety regulations and the requirements of the relevant authorities.

Connect a matched, pre-tested antenna system with a return loss of >=14dB to this socket. Ensure all parts of the feeder and antenna system are rated for 3W or above 8.
- Page 7 Should the RF output fail due to a PLL error in the modulator circuitry, “ALARM!” will show in place of the forward power reading, and the RF output will cease. Try resetting the FMTX2, by switching the power off, waiting 15 seconds and then switching the power back on.
- Page 8 RF output will cease. Switch off the power, and remedy the fault with the antenna (or its cabling, connectors, etc) then try powering-up the FMTX2. Setting the Transmission Output Power 1. Press the ‘ENTER’ button. The Forward Power reading will be selected.
- Page 9 2. Use the ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ buttons to select the desired transmission frequency. 3. Press ‘ENTER’ button to save the new setting. The value will flash rapidly to confirm. The unit will then begin the normal power-up booting process (‘Wait…’ is displayed on the screen), followed by the normal main screen display.
- Page 10 1. Connect a USB cable to the USB port on the rear of the transmitter. If the transmitter is not in service apply power. REMEMBER: Never operate a transmitter without a test load (‘dummy load’) or matched antenna system connected to the RF Output. 2.
- Page 11 If, for any reason, transmission of RDS is NOT required, the RDS encoder can be defeated by holding both ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’ buttons pressed whilst simultaneously powering-up the FMTX2. After the boot sequence completes, the RDS icon will no longer be displayed.
