VTX-WM1 Installation Guide v1.1

Installation

Preamble:

The process of installing web monitor cards 
into VTX amplifiers is straightforward. If cards 

are being fitted to multiple amplifiers installed 
in one or more equipment racks, each rack will 
need to be provided with internal CAT5 wiring 

and an Ethernet switch. The Installation section 

of the manual describes in turn: i) fitting and 
testing cards in the amplifiers; ii) networking 
principles and iii) overall system configuration. 

Installing the VTX-WM1 card

1.  Turn off the VTX amplifiers into which 

the cards are to be fitted and unplug their 

power cables. If the amplifiers are fitted in 
a rack enclosure, disconnect all rear cables 
from one amplifier at a time, and remove 
it from the rack. Place the amplifier on a 
flat surface.

2.  Remove the amplifier’s top panel. Retain the 

screws (eight) and the transformer bolt.

3.  Locate the rear panel blanking plate, undo 

the two screws securing it and remove 

the plate. Retain the screws.

4.  On the amplifier’s upper rear PCB 

(Remote Vol PCB, PC331012), locate the 

jumpers J109, J209, J309, J409, J110, J210, 
J310 and J410. All of these (total 8) should 
be removed. (Refer to pages12 &13 of the 

amplifier manual for full details of amplifier 
jumper locations.)

Remove these jumpers

VTX-WM1 card connectors

5.  Plug in the four screened cables 

terminating in 3-pin connectors as follows:

6.  Connect all the flying leads before locating 

the card in place. First, plug the two 

7-way ribbon cables (from J805A and 
J806A on the VTX-WM1 card) to J805B 
and J806B respectively on the amplifier’s 

main (lower) PCB. These are located just 

in front of the four large capacitors; the 
ribbon from J805A should be plugged into  
J805B (the left of the pair, looking from 
the rear) and that from J806A to J806B.

7.  The remainder of the VTX-WM1 card’s 

flying leads connect to the amplifier’s 
upper rear PCB. Plug the 14-way and 

6-way ribbon cables at the right-hand end 

of the VTX-WM1 card (from J801A and 
J802A respectively) into Molex headers 
J801B and J802B on the upper rear PCB.
