SECTION TWO : INSTALLATION
! CAUTION !
These Transmitters operate at
high RF power levels, internal supply energy levels and mains
supply current levels
. They also incorporate devices containing
toxic BeO
. Before commencing
installation, it is recommended that the complete INSTALLATION section is read and understood.
The
instructions should then be strictly followed, by suitably qualified personnel, otherwise sub-
standard or even dangerous operation may result.
It is also
strongly recommended
that a
mechanical check
is made of the Transmitter, before it is
installed and switched on. This is to ensure that no loosening of connectors or damage has occurred,
during transit, which may lead to further damage being caused at switch-on. The principal items to
check are : -
No obvious physical damage has occurred to the transmitter frame, modules or internal wiring.
All removable, internal RF coaxial connectors (SMA/B/C, BNC, TNC, N etc) are in place and tight.
All internal multi-way connectors (Ribbon, D Type, Molex etc) are in place and secure.
Each E2021 Amplifier Module is pushed fully into the Transmitter with its lock switch fully pushed
down –
do not try to force these modules home
– if they appear difficult to insert fully, check that
the locating ‘harpoons’ at the rear of each module (either side of its D connector) are not bent.
Each E2088 or E2322 Power Supply Module is pushed fully into the Transmitter with its locking lever
engaged–
do not try to force these modules home
– if they appear difficult to insert fully, check the
connectors at the rear of the module.
Note that the two types are not interchangeable.
2.1 : PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS AND FITTING
2.1.1 Installation Items
Various installation items are required. A list of these (including spare fuses) is given below. Actual
requirements depend on the configuration of the equipment supplied (e.g. with or without
Exciter/Drive(s), separate to or already fitted into a 19 inch rack, whether or not leads are supplied
ready made etc.). Note that extra, unlisted parts may be required for connections to any
Exciter/Drive(s) that are supplied (see manuals supplied with them).
