Section 2 Installation & Setup
eCDi ™
2.4.3
PlatinumCD and Platinum Analog TV Transmitters
Since the only installation differences between PlatinumCD (DTV transmitter) and the
Platinum Analog transmitter is the exciter, both transmitters will be discussed as one.
2.4.3.1
Mounting and AC Power
The eCDi™ unit can be mounted in the Platinum Control cabinet if there is room to
mount it, however there are no rack rails on which to mount the eCDi™ unit. It is
therefore recommended that the eCDi™ unit be mounted in an equipment rack nearby,
or at least within the 50ft maximum limit of the serial cable connection.
NOTE:
If the unit is mounted into the transmitter, ac power may be obtained by
connecting to the same terminals on the 1TB2 terminal strip as the exciters, using
a moulded ac power cord with a pigtailed end. 1TB2 will always have 220/
240Vac present.
!
WARNING:
DISCONNECT PRIMARY POWER FROM THE CONTROL CABINET AT THE MAIN AC
WALL DISCONNECT BEFORE REMOVING SAFETY SHIELDS OR ATTEMPTING TO
MAKE ANY CONNECTIONS.
2.4.3.2
Transmitter Serial Connection
Connect the 9 pin to 25 pin null modem adaptor to J9 (a 25 pin female D connector) on
the rear of the Monitor Board in the Platinum control cabinet. Next connect the provided
9 pin in-line surge protector to the adaptor just installed.
Be sure to connect the ground
lug on the surge protector to the cabinet.
Finally connect one end of the provided 50ft
serial cable labeled “XMTR” to the 9 pin surge protector and the other end to the serial
port on the eCDi™ labeled “XMTR.” Use the provided cable ties to support the cable
and adaptors to prevent stress on the Monitor Board connection.
!
CAUTION:
THE RS232 SERIAL CONNECTION ON THE PLATINUM MONITOR BOARD HAS NO
SURGE PROTECTION. A SURGE PROTECTOR IS PROVIDED WITH THE
INSTALLATION KIT. THE SURGE PROTECTOR SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON THE
TRANSMITTER END OF THE CABLE AND BE GROUNDED TO THE TRANSMITTER
CABINET. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE SURGE PROTECTOR COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PLATINUM MONITOR BOARD.
