LTX100U/LV/LH Operating and Service Manual

lll -- TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

To ensure long and reliable trouble-free service from the LTX100U/LV/LH transmitters the following steps

for installation are recommended:

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION: The LTX100U/LV/LH transmitters were designed to be installed in

a building protected from the weather. The building should have a hard-surface floor such as

concrete with a moisture barrier. This barrier could be pressure-treated wood sub flooring which

could be anchored to the concrete and to the transmitter to make the installation earthquake

resistant. For ease of operation and maintenance, the transmitter cabinet will need to be securely

mounted to a raised structure at some appropriate distance above the floor.

Provisions for air inlet and exhaust from the room must allow air flow with minimal obstruction.

In the event that the room temperature exceeds 35º Celsius (95º F), cooling air must be provided

so that the room temperature will not exceed 35 degrees Celsius under worse case conditions.

Notice: This equipment is HEAV

and must be handled by professional movers with prope

equipment. Any damage caused by the installers is not covered under warranty. Check to ensur

that installing crews have proper insurance coverage.

GROUNDING: Transmitter grounding is

ERY IMPORTANT and must be done correctly fo

safety and operational reasons. A typical installation may be done as follows

Use a heavy gauge wire such as 16 AWG stranded copper. The bonding between the transmitter

and the ground rods must be good quality and protected from corrosion. The ground wires should

run over the floor and be connected to the ground rods located outside the building. The wire

should not go through the concrete floor but over and around it.

AC WIRING: The LTX100U/LV/HV transmitters come with a three wire 110 VAC standard plug for

connection to a 110 VAC electrical outlet. It is recommended that the electrical outlet be protected

with its own separate breaker and used only for the transmitter.

NOTICE: All wiring of this type, except for the actual connection to the AC plug, must be done

by a QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN and must conform to LOCAL and NATIONAL wiring CODES.

Consult with your electrician to ensure that the proper breaker size is selected for the main circuit.

ANTENNA CONNECTION: The transmitters are equipped with an N connector for output power

to the transmit antenna and an F connector for connection from the receive antenna.
