AC Mains Power
The 552 employs an internal ‘universal’ switchmode power
supply that accommodates mains voltages between 88V
AC
and
264V
AC
. Certified self-protection circuits have replaced the
once-familiar fuseholder.
The supplied detachable IEC-type power cord is fitted with a
North-American-standard male plug. If you need to replace the
mains plug with another, you will find that the individual cord
conductors are color-coded in one of two ways. US standards
specify black for AC ‘hot,’ white for AC neutral and green for
earth ground. European CEE standards specify brown for AC
‘hot,’ blue for AC neutral and green with a yellow stripe for
earth ground. It is incumbent upon you to follow this coding
strictly.
Radio Frequency
Interference
(RFI)
Although it is expected that the 552 will be co-located with
other radio equipment, do practice care and common sense in
locating the unit away from abnormally high RF fields.
Ground Loops
A mains frequency or RF ground loop could possibly be formed
between cable shield grounds and the AC power cord ground.
If hum or other constant noise is noted in analog outputs, a
‘ground-lifting’ AC adapter may remedy the problem, although
the chassis must somehow be returned to earth ground for
safety. Rack-mounting the chassis normally satisfies this re-
quirement.
INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND PORTS
Antenna
Input and
Considerations
The rear-panel
ANTENNA
connector is a female, 75-ohm F con-
nector. While the F is a common standard in the US, adapters to
other connector types are readily available worldwide.
Many factors will guide your selection of an antenna, not the
least of which is the level and purity of the available off-air sig-
nal. Selectivity of the 552 is remarkably good. But by necessity
as a wideband receiver, it’s not impossible that a band-pass or
band-stop filter may be required for certain situations where
the 552 and high power transmitters are co-located.
High Level
Input
The rear-panel
HIGH LEVEL RF INPUT
is a 50-ohm-terminating
BNC input meant to connect directly to a transmitter or coupler
tap as an alternative to off-air signal reception. Maximum in-
put voltage should not exceed 5V
RMS
. Input selection is made
under the
Tuner
menus.
Multiplex or
Pilot Sync
Output
The rear-panel
MPX OUT
BNC connector delivers either the FM
baseband signal or a 19kHz stereo pilot-sync sample. Mode se-
lection and output level adjustment is made from Webpage
Set-
up
menu. The output may be varied between 1V
PP
and 6V
PP
.
Program Audio
Outputs
The 552 monitor gives the user simultaneous access to the
main-carrier analog-FM program, the accompanying HD1 digi-
tal-audio program, and any three of the remaining HD Radio
