Set Transmitter Power Level (Case 2: exciter APC
control with FlexStar HDX)
Use this procedure when the transmitter power level is being controlled via an analog
voltage fed back to the exciter. This is always the case when operating with the FlexStar
HDX exciter, except possibly if the FlexStar exciter is being used for FM-only service.
NOTE:
For ZX7.5 and ZX10 model transmitters, please also consult section 5.4.6 for
additional information on how to adjust the APC control circuits in both PA
amplifier chassis.
!
CAUTION:
IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT OF THIS CIRCUIT COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
TRANSMITTER. THE TRANSMITTER COMES FROM THE FACTORY WITH THIS
ADJUSTMENT ALREADY PERFORMED. USE THIS PROCEDURE ONLY WHEN IT
BECOMES NECESSARY TO CHANGE PERMANENTLY THE TRANSMITTER OUTPUT
POWER LEVEL FROM THAT ESTABLISHED AT THE TIME OF IN-FACTORY TEST. IF
THE TRANSMITTER IS UNABLE TO REACH FULL POWER, RULE OUT ALL OTHER
CAUSES BEFORE PROCEEDING TO PERFORM THIS ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE:
It is typical for the gain of the PA modules to drop during the first half hour of
operation. This procedure should be performed after the transmitter has reached a
thermal steady state.
Tools required:
Small adjustment screwdriver
STEP 1
Determine current operating mode based on front panel STATUS LED
display: FM, FM+HD, HD.
STEP 2
Open amplifier front door and locate POWER RAISE pushbutton on
controller board upper edge.
STEP 3
Depress POWER RAISE pushbutton repeatedly until power adjustment
circuit has clearly reached top of its range.
STEP 4
Adjust exciter max power limit via appropriate LIMIT setting in
FlexStar
Home>Setup>More Setup>Next
screen (FM:Limit,
FM+HD:Limit, or HD:Limit) until power level just starts to drop. This
ensures exciter power is properly restrained during next few steps.
