Turn the Exciter's OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUST two or three turns counterclockwise and press
the OPERATE/STANDBY switch in to place the transmitter in OPERATE. Then verify the
following responses of the transmitter:
a.
The Exciter’s OPERATE/STANDBY switch indicator is now lit green.
b.
The POWER SUPPLY Control/Metering panel indicator is now lit green.
c.
The status of all other indicators previously mentioned is the same.
7.
Check to see that the Control/Metering panel’s meter switch is in the FWD/out position and
then slowly turn the Exciter’s OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUST clockwise until a 100% indication
appears on the Control/Metering panel’s RF POWER meter. The Exciter’s RF POWER
meter should also be displaying a 100% indication.
8.
After 10 minutes of operation press the Exciter’s AGC/MANUAL switch in to engage the
transmitter’s output automatic gain control. If necessary and with a small tuning tool, slowly
turn the AGC LEVEL ADJUST to bring the transmitter’s RF POWER meter reading back to
100%.
9.
Place the Control/Metering panel's meter switch to REFLD and verify that the RF POWER
meter indicates no more than 10% returned power. If the reflected power is more than 10%,
shut down the transmitter and check the VSWR of the transmitting antenna and its associated
cable.
10.
Place the Control/Metering panel's meter switch to FWD for constant monitoring of the
transmitter's final output power.
The transmitter is now in operation. Check its coverage area for clean, sharp television reception.
If the reception or picture quality is unsatisfactory, examine the amount of power delivered to the
transmitting antenna (see Section 3.5) and, if necessary, examine the antenna orientation and
antenna transmission line VSWR to insure maximum radiation in the proper direction.
