5. Installation and configuration procedure
This section provides a step-by-step description of equipment installation and
configuration procedure. Follow these procedures closely upon first power-on
and each time any change is made to general configuration, such as when a new
transmission station is added or the equipment is replaced.
Once the desired configuration has been set up, no more settings are required
for normal operation; at each power-up (even after an accidental shutdown),
the equipment defaults to the parameters set during the initial configuration
procedure.
The topics covered in this section are discussed at greater length in the next
sections, with detailed descriptions of all hardware and firmware features and
capabilities. Please see the relevant sections for additional details.
IMPORTANT:
When configuring and testing the transmitter in which the equipment
is integrated, be sure to have the Final Test Table supplied with the equipment ready
at hand throughout the whole procedure; the Final Test Table lists all operating
parameters as set and tested at the factory.
5.1 Preparation
5.1.1 Preliminary checks
Unpack the exciter and immediately inspect it for transport damage. Ensure that
all connectors are in perfect condition.
Provide for the following (applicable to operating tests and putting into service)
√
Single-phase 230 VAC or 115 VAC (-15% / +10%) mains power supply with
adequate earth connection
√
For operating tests only: dummy load with 50 Ohm impedance and adequate
capacity (500W for
TEX500-LCD
or 1000W for
TEX1000LIGHT
as a
minimum)
√
Connection cable kit including:
• Mains power cable
• Coaxial cable with BNC connectors for interlock signal connection
• RF cable for output to load / antenna (50 Ohm coaxial cable with N-type
connector for
TEX500-LCD
or standard 7/8” connector for
TEX1000LIGHT
)
• Audio cables between transmitter and audio sources.
