Transmitter Hookup
1. Connect modulated video from TM-200 RF OUT to the Technalogix power amplifier.
2. Turn down RF level on TM-200 all the way.
3. Ensure that IF OUT is connected to IF IN on the TM-200 modulator using the loop F
to F cable supplied. If the IF pre-correction circuit is to be used, simply jumper 75-
ohm coaxial from the IF PRE-CORRECTION - IN to the OUTPUTS – VIDEO and
jumper from IF PRE-CORRECTION – OUT to the INPUTS – VIDEO connection.
4. Connect the transmitting antenna cable to the RF output connector on the power
amplifier. It is recommended that a quality through line wattmeter be installed in this
same line.
5. Verify that all signal and RF cables are connected properly.
6. After following proper installation procedures outlined in the power amplifier manual,
plug the power amplifier’s power cords into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Output power should be adjusted with a sync and blanking signal only with the aural
carrier removed. This is simply done by disconnecting one end of the audio carrier loop
found on the back panel of the TM-200.
