Power-up the unit and reduce the output power (using the rear panel
RF OUTPUT POWER ADJUST control) to the lowest level.
Using the front panel display and buttons, set the desired transmission
frequency.
Power down the unit, wait a few seconds and, whilst pressing
ENTER for 5 seconds, power up the unit. After a short while, the
currently set frequency will appear on the display. Use the UP
and DOWN buttons to select the desired frequency. Press
ENTER to store. The new frequency will flash rapidly to indicate
that it is now stored. The unit will begin its boot process and,
after a few seconds the display will return to normal mode, and
the transmitter will begin broadcasting.
Changing transmission frequency may affect the deviation level slightly.
It is important that the deviation levels are checked.
Connect the baseband multiplex signal to the rear panel BNC
connector. Using a calibrated deviation meter, or FM analyser,
adjust the source level so that maximum deviation peaks
register just below ±75kHz. The front panel DEV level bar graph
display shows the approximate relation of MPX input level to
deviation.
Once all settings are correct, power down the unit. Disconnect the test
load and connect to the antenna. Power up the unit and increase the
RF Power (using the rear panel RF ADJ control) to the desired level, not
exceeding 100W.
