Congratulations for your choice!
Archimede High Power
is a series of
new-concept FM solid state (MOS-FET) amplifiers, available
in three different models according to their rated output power (
Archimede 3000
3kW -
Archimede 4000
4kW
–
Archimede
5000
5kW).
These systems are so compact they can be entirely fitted into a 19" 2 units rack 500 mm depth, making them the ideal solutions for
medium and high power repeaters in unattended stations, in N+1 systems and also as spare amplifiers. These are only some of the
state-of-the-art features that make the
Archimede High Power
series truly unique:
Ultra compact size and reduced weight.
(
Archimede 3000/4000
:
28kg,
Archimede 5000
:
35kg).
Thoroughly modular construction.
The R.F. amplifier is composed of ultra - compact new-generation internal modules (their
number depends on the model). Such modules can be easily identified and inspected.
High reliability.
Thanks to the internal balance circuits, in case one of the internal modules fails, the other modules left are
automatically re-balanced, thus to continuing the operation at reduced power.
Better reliability.
Per each model the rated output power is reached at nearly the 80% of the maximum output power the
equipment could generate.
Low operation costs.
The special care taken in the design, aimed at minimizing internal losses, allows a very high electrical
efficiency to be achieved thus minimizing power consumption and thereby reducing operation costs.
High ventilation and low heat sinking.
The reduced internal losses and high overall efficiency minimize heat sinking. As a
result, the size of the internal ventilation system can meet even the most demanding environmental conditions.
Large allowable bandwidth and low maintenance requirements
.
Interactive control panel with LCD display.
Enables the user to easily set the equipment modes and commands and to
display the operation parameters through the practical multifunction knob.
Sturdy modular mechanical and electrical construction.
It guarantees a high MTBF and an easy maintenance.
High efficiency.
To control the output power level the output power loop control adjusts first the power supply voltage of the
MOS FET and, if it’s not sufficient, it adjusts the Bias voltage.
Continuous control of the cooling fans speed.
This control allows a constant temperature of the amplifier heatsink, and a
longer lifespan of the cooling fans.
Automatic reset when an active alarm ends.
When an active alarm ends, the equipment is able to automatically reset itself,
without the need of human intervention.
Simple diagnostics and unambiguous parameters reading.
This is due to a comprehensive metering and alarm section on
the control panel. Thanks to the optional external telemetry system, parameters and alarms are easily accessible from remote
posts through the relevant remote control input.
Compliance with the strictest norms.
These equipments were designed in compliance with the tightest international norms,
as well as the recent, strict anti-magnetic noise EC requirements. Besides, the equipments comply with the EC and ETSI
302.018-2 v 1.1.2.1 (2006-03) standards.
Please note
that the manufacturer, in his continuous attempt to improve further the quality of his product, reserves the right to
vary the technical features of the Falcon High Power models without prior notice.
Warning! Before carrying out any operation, it is essential to read the whole of the present manual
– with particular
– in order to avoid damages to objects and people.
