Introduction
This manual is to provide information regarding the Z3-48HD+ Transmitter System’s
operation. In addition to the System Controllers, other System-specific functions are
discussed. Any further site-specific functionallity will be discussed in the site-specific
data packages provided with the Z3-48HD+ Transmitter System, including the
individual Z16HD+ transmitter manuals.
The Z3-48HD+ System is made of a dual transmitter and one additional
Z16HD+ transmitter cabinet. The is made of two Z16HD+ transmitter
cabinets. Most everything in the remains as the instruction book and
drawings describe except for the Drive. There are two System Controllers in the Z3-48
system. One System Controller controls and monitors only the ZD32 (transmitters A
and B). The second System Controller controls and monitors the Z3-48 which includes
the Z16 and the ZD32.
NOTE:
It is important to have and study all documentation of all units involved in a Z3-
48HD+ system prior to begining installation of this complex system.
The ZD32 consists of the two cabinets on the right hand side of the system. These are
known as transmitters A and B to keep the ZD32 documentation consistent with that of
the Z3-48 system. The extra cabinet required to make up the Z3-48 system will be on
the left and be known as transmitter C. This arrangement also keeps the RF line and
combiner arrangement to a minimum for those sites that may require equipment to go in
a small space. Both of the System Controllers will be located in a separate rack next to
the system if dual exciters and Boost amps are required. Space for the System
Controllers is not available in the transmitter for this configuration.
Operation of the Z3-48HD+ in any of several modulation format modes can be
accomplished from the FlexStar HDx-FM exciter GUI panel. See exciter manual for
further details. HD modes are only available with the FMHD22 version of the
FlexStar
TM
Exciter.
