5. Quick guide for installation and use
This section provides a step-by-step description of the machine installation and
configuration procedure. Follow these procedures closely upon first power-on
and each time any change is made to general configuration, such as when a new
transmission station is added or the amplifier is replaced.
Once the desired configuration has been set up, no more settings are required
for normal operation; at each power-up (even after an accidental shutdown),
the amplifier defaults to the parameters set during the initial configuration
procedure.
The topics covered in this section are discussed at greater length in the next
sections, with detailed descriptions of all hardware and firmware features and
capabilities. Please see the relevant sections for additional details.
IMPORTANT:
When configuring and testing the transmitter in which the exciter is
integrated, be sure to have the Final Test Table supplied with the machine ready
at hand throughout the whole procedure; the Final Test Table lists all operating
parameters as set and tested at the factory.
5.1 Preparation
5.1.1 Preliminary checks
Unpack the amplifier and immediately inspect it for transport damage. Ensure that
all connectors are in perfect condition.
Provide for the following (applicable to operating tests and putting into service):
√
Single-phase 230 VAC (-15% / +10%), or 115 VAC through internal connector,
mains power supply with adequate ground connection
√
For operating tests only: dummy load with 50 Ohm impedance and adequate
capacity
√
Connection cable kit including:
• Mains power cable
