A area large enough to store the boxes should be prepared in
advance to help the unloading process.
Remove the cabinets from the truck and set in a location where
they cannot be damaged.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE THE ROUNDED EDGES OF THE CABINETS FOR
PUSHING, PULLING OR LIFTING!!
The boxes that contain the RF amplifier modules weigh approxi-
mately 40 pounds (18 kg) each. Do not be stack them too high,
and handle with care.
The Control cabinet and skid together weigh approximately 470
pounds (215 kg). The skid itself weighs 30 pounds (14 kg).
An aural PA/visual driver cabinet for a 30 kW transmitter weighs
approximately 860 pounds (390 kg) including the skid. Each 15
kW visual PA cabinet with skid weighs approximately 990
pounds (450 kg). Single amplifier cabinets for transmitters below
10 kW will weigh somewhat less. The amplifier cabinet skids
weigh 65 pounds (30 kg) each.
The 50 volt power supplies weigh approximately 450 pounds
(205 kg) each. Most are shipped two per skid, with any odd unit
sent on a final skid. Be prepared for 900+ pounds (410+ kg).
Weights are generally marked on each box. Check the markings
on each container before lifting.
2.4
Cabinet Placement and Leveling
Four bolts hold each cabinet to its skid. They are located two per
side, front and rear. Also, remove the blocks that support the
bottom of each rear door.
Use a chalk line or similar method to mark the floor position for
each cabinet to ensure even alignment.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE THE ROUNDED EDGES OF THE CABINETS FOR
PUSHING, PULLING OR LIFTING!!
Two bars with lifting lugs are provided to remove the cabinets
from the skids (839-7900-183 arm, cabinet lifting). Using proper
lifting equipment, remove each cabinet from its skid and transfer
the bars to the next cabinet. The bars bolt to the side of the cabinet
through the holes normally used to bolt the cabinets together.
These holes are located 1 inch from top of each cabinet, and 6
inches and 22 inches from the each cabinet front.
If equipment is not available to lift the cabinet off the skid, you
may want to remove the back doors to lighten the load.
CAUTION
THE DOOR WEIGHS 175 POUNDS (80 kg).
Removing doors will require three people. Remove the block
used to support the door during shipment. Open the door and
block it up at the bottom. Disconnect the fan wiring. Two people
wearing gloves should support the door while the third person
removes the hinge pins starting at the bottom and working up.
Then, the door may be set aside and rollers (pipe) and a ramp
used to remove the cabinet from the skid.
CAUTION
Slide cabinet off to the front or back of skid (NOT THE SIDE) to avoid
bending bottom panel.
Then, replace the door after the cabinet is set in place. Have two
people position the door on suitable blocking material while the
third person inserts the hinge pins starting from the top down.
Reinstall the fan wiring.
Starting with one end cabinet, move each cabinet to the approxi-
mate location.
When each cabinet is in its final position, you may need to level
the cabinet. Check the level in all three planes. Metal plates
shimmed under the cabinet edges can be used for levelling.
Bolt the cabinets together using the two holes at the top and two
at the bottom of each cabinet.
2.5
Grounding
The ground strap runs along the top of the cabinets, then forward
and over to the control cabinet. The station ground may be
installed up the side of the far PA cabinet or between the first PA
and control cabinet. For additional information on station
grounding requirements refer to Appendix C.
2.6
Installation of 50 Volt Supplies
The 50 volt power supplies weigh about 450 pounds (205 kg)
each. Use a mechanical lifting device to remove them from the
skid. Two access holes in the top are provided to attach lifting
eyes to the transformer. Use a spreader bar to prevent bending
the lugs. A wide strap under the unit will also work.
NOTE
The center of gravity is in line with bolt holes.
The power supplies are furnished with metal wheels for easy
movement and installation in the transmitter.
Consider the type of floor on which the power supply will rest.
The weight is carried on brass wheels, which will possibly mar
the floor. Long-term weight may damage the floor, making
power supply removal for maintenance very difficult. Protection
of tiled floors should be considered.
Roll one supply into the cabinet, allowing room for the other
supply. The terminal boards should face the rear of the cabinet.
After both supplies are positioned, install the rear panel and feed
the cables through the holes and up to the terminal board. Each
supply should be centered in its slot and tight against the panel.
This forms an air seal needed to maintain proper air flow through-
out the cabinet.
