VERSION 5.0  2021-03-01

The customer has prepared the RF coaxial cable – used to connect the transmitter to the antenna –
and installed the required connector. The customer has also installed the RF coaxial cable in place
and connected it to the antenna, while leaving the transmitter end of the cable unconnected.

Where required, all remote control and monitoring cables have been installed and connected to
the station equipment (e.g., modulation monitor, frequency monitor, and power meter).

The site has been made ready for the equipment, and adequate protection against lightning and
lightning-induced transients has been provided.

The transmitter has been unpacked, closely checked for any damage caused by shipping, and then
assembled.

The following test equipment has been made available at the site:

Two-channel oscilloscope (with probes)

Audio signal generator

Distortion analyzer

Spectrum analyzer

Modulation monitor

Frequency counter

50 

 test load (rated for 150% of carrier power, VSWR less than 1.1:1)

Nautel’s service representative takes full responsibility for commissioning the transmitter, validating all 
external interfaces (i.e., the ac supply, RF output, remote control and monitoring equipment) and 
checking out the equipment prior to activation. The service representative turns on the transmitter, 
performs all adjustments and set-up procedures, and carries out proof of performance tests at the site. 
These tests ensure that the transmitter is operating normally in compliance with its specifications. The 
service representative also provides a demonstration and a short explanation of the operation of the 
transmitter. Finally, the customer signs an Acceptance of Installation Certificate that provides feedback 
to Nautel regarding the commissioning service. 

Online Documentation 

Nautel provides documentation online to customers, letting you familiarize yourself with specifications, 
operation, maintenance and troubleshooting prior to the delivery of your equipment. 

Documentation is also provided on USB and delivered with the transmitter.
