FM13016D: NX15 to NX400 Transmitters - 
Replacing the Single-Board Computer (SBC) 

Field Modification 

 

1  INTRODUCTION 

This document provides instructions for Nautel customers or their appointed agents to modify 
the subject equipment in the field. 
 

1.1  Reason for Modification 

A new generic SBC (Nautel Part # 207-8720) must be used as the replacement if the original 
fails. The new SBC is electrically compatible, but depending on the vintage being replaced, 
there are physical differences in the connector locations/styles. 
 

1.2  Equipment Affected 

This modification affects the following NX series AM broadcast transmitters: 
 

  models with Nautel Part # 207-8710, 207-8710-01, 207-8710-02, 207-8998, 207-8998-01 

SBC installed (containing UB97).

 

  models with the original Door Computer assembly Nautel Part # 207-8708 or 

207-8708-01 (containing UB66).

 

  models with Field Mod # FM13016, FM13016A, FM13016B, or FM13016C installed.

 

 
If your transmitter or spare NAPC160* PWB was shipped between May 2019 and November 
2021, please follow IS21007* – NX Series – Upgrading Controller Firmware (NX SW 5.0). 
 

1.2.1 Minimum Software Required 

Replacing the SBC requires that your NX transmitter have software version 4.0 (or 4.7 for 
NX15), as a minimum. If the transmitter is operating with software version NX SW3.x or 
earlier, follow the instructions in Information Sheet IS13005* in the latest software directory 
located in www3.nautel.com/NX_Series/

 

to complete the required software update. 

 

1.3  Responsibility for Implementation 

This modification is written for qualified transmitter maintenance personnel. 
 

1.4  Scheduling 

Implement this procedure at the convenience of station maintenance personnel noting that 
the transmitter will be “off-air” if a software upgrade is required.

 

 

1.5  Manpower Requirements 

Completing this modification requires approximately one (1) hour. 
 

1.6  Special Tools/Test Equipment 

  Standard Phillips screwdriver 

  7 mm nut-driver/socket 

  USB mouse for touch-screen calibration (if compact flash card is replaced) 

  USB Keyboard along with IS18005* (may be required for initial startup of the 

transmitter - visit www3.nautel.com/NX_Series/ to obtain this IS document) 

 

1.7  Materials 

The parts required for this modification are contained in the provided Field Modification kit 
(Nautel Part # 207-9005-05), see Table 1.
