OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER FOR MAXIMUM TUBE LIFE.
3-20.
The FM-5T/FM-5TS is equipped with an Eimac 4CX3500A tetrode. Maximum tube life is
obtained by the implementation of a tube management program. A tube management pro
gram consists of operating and monitoring the transmitter to maintain an optimum tube
filament voltage. This optimum voltage prevents premature de-carbonization of the tube
filament and will result in maximum tube life. To maximize transmitter tube life, imple
ment the procedures and operations presented in the following tube management program.
TUBE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1) Refer to APPENDIX A and perform the procedures presented in the Eimac
publication titled Extending Transmitter Tube Life - Eimac Application Bulletin
No. 18. - March 1990".
2) Refer to APPENDIX A and the information presented in Eimac Technical Data
Sheet - 4CX3500A Tetrode".
3) The procedures presented in any Eimac Product Bulletins" shipped with the tube.

CONTINUOUSLY FLASHING CONTROLLER SWITCH/INDICATOR.
3-22.
The FM-5T/FM-5TS controller is equipped with an automatic remote/local control trouble
shooting feature. This feature can determine if a remote control or a front-panel control is
being continuously held in operation by a device such as a defective remote control unit. If
a control is continuously held in operation, the front-panel switch/indicator will flash. If
this condition occurs, contact the Broadcast Electronics RF Customer Service Department.
