3.1 Site Considerations
There are special considerations that need
to be taken into account before the
Innovator LX Series analog
driver/transmitter can be installed. For
example, if the installation is completed
during cool weather, a heat-related
problem may not surface for many
months, suddenly appearing during the
heat of summer. This section provides
planning information for the installation
and set up of the driver/transmitter.
The AC input and current requirements
for LX Series transmitters are shown in
Table 3-1.
NOTES: The transmitter is factory set
for either 110 VAC or 220 VAC
operation as directed by customer.
Transmitters 250 Watts or above use
220 VAC Input only.
Transmitters 4000 Watts and above
require two 220 VAC Inputs, one to
the exciter/driver and one to the
amplifier cabinet.
All currents are with a Black picture
Check that your site has the needed
power requirements.
The LX Series Analog Transmitters are
designed and built to provide long life
with a minimum of maintenance. The
environment in which they are placed is
important and certain precautions must
be taken. The three greatest dangers to
the transmitter are heat, dirt, and
moisture. Heat is usually the greatest
problem, followed by dirt, and then
moisture. Over-temperature can cause
heat-related problems such as thermal
runaway and component failure. Each
amplifier module in the transmitter
contains a thermal interlock protection
circuit that will shut down that module
until the temperature drops to an
acceptable level.
A suitable environment for the
transmitter can enhance the overall
performance and reliability of the
transmitter and maximize revenues by
minimizing downtime. A properly
designed facility will have an adequate
supply of cool, clean air, free of airborne
particulates of any kind, and no
excessive humidity. An ideal environment
will require temperature in the range of
40° F to 70° F throughout the year,
reasonably low humidity, and a dust-free
room. It should be noted that this is
