5. Quick guide for installation and use
This section provides a step-by-step description of the machine installation and
con
guration procedure. Follow these procedures closely upon
rst power-on
and each time any change is made to general con
guration, such as when a new
transmission station is added or the ampli
er is replaced.
Once the desired con
guration 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
rmware features and
capabilities. Please see the relevant sections for additional details.
5.1 Preparation
5.1.1 Preliminary checks
Unpack the ampli
er 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):
√
Full-range 90 to 250 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
5.1.2 Connections
The main fuse can be accessed from the outside, on the rear panel. Extract the fuse
holder using a screwdriver and make sure that it is intact; replace it if necessary.
Connect a suitable dummy load with suitable dissipation power, or antenna, or the
input of
nal ampli
er to the RF output (see
gure 9.2 - item [2]) using a 50-Ohm
coaxial cable with “N”-type connectors.
Note: When you connect the DTVC to other devices, it is necessary to strictly
follow the instructions given by the respective manufacturers, to avoid damages
or danger situations.
