Figure 2-1 AC mains connection to transmitter (transmitter rack side panel removed for
clarity
NOTE:
The illustration in Figure 2-1 has been exaggerated for the purpose of clarity. It is
not typically necessary to fully disconnect the AC distribution chassis and com-
pletely remove it from the cabinet. It is usually pulled forward only the distance
necessary to perform the mains connection and the other cables to the chassis
remain connected. Removal of the rack side panel is also not required.
2.6.2 Transmitters without AC Distribution Chassis
In the case of lower power transmitters furnished without an AC distribution chassis,
the customer is responsible for connecting directly to the various transmitter sub-
assemblies. (i.e. exciter and amp). The necessary AC mains distribution may be
performed in the customer mains panelboard or possibly an in-rack outlet strip.
The various sub-assemblies in the ZX series transmitter have slightly different AC
mains requirements:
The exciter typically requires 120 or 230 VAC 50/60Hz single phase power via an IEC-
C14 inlet. Depending on the model of exciter, the selection of the input voltage range
(120V, 208V, 230V, etc) maybe automatic (auto-sensing) or may require the changing of
connections within the AC inlet assembly. Consult the manual supplied with the exciter
for further details.
