FM TRANSMITTER
Introduction You’ve already unpacked it, haven’t you? You’ve unpacked it and plugged it in and turned it on and fiddled with the knobs. No? Okay, good. Please take a few minutes to read the manual and familiarize yourself with your new Technalogix FM power amplifier or transmitter. We believe that this user manual, the Quickstart package (Final Inspection Report, Wiring Hookup, and Block Diagram), and of course our equipment, should be everything you need to get on the air with a superb audio signal.
2 Terms and Warranty This section is written as a general guide to keep all five fingers on your hand and is intended for those having previous knowledge and experience with these kinds of equipment. It is not intended to contain a complete statement of all safety precautions, which should be observed by personnel using this or other electronic equipment.
There are three principle degrees of burns, recognizable as follows: a first-degree burn reddens the skin. a second-degree burn blisters the skin. a third degree burn chars the flesh and frequently places the victim in a state of shock accompanied by respiratory paralysis. Respiratory paralysis can cause death by suffocation within seconds. It is imperative that the approved methods of artificial respiration are initiated immediately and continue until the victim’s breathing is normal.
The radiated output power of this device is below the Industry Canada radio frequency exposure limits. The device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. Human proximity to the antenna should not be less than 20 cm (7.9”). La puissance de sortie rayonnée de cet appareil est inférieure aux limites d'exposition de radio de fréquence Industrie Canada.

Technalogix-manufactured products are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of shipment.
The RF amplifiers utilize readily available RF components wherever possible, thus enhancing the serviceability of the equipment. The amplifier modules are stable for high reliability and long service life and feature ultra linear amplification and individual channel RF output filtering, unless ordered otherwise. The Block Diagram is included with the Quickstart package to illustrate the specific component flow of the RF amplifier system and to provide specific configuration and model information.
2 Terms and Warranty This section contains installation recommendations, unpacking, inspection, and installation instructions for the power amplifier or transmitter. We are sure that you are chomping at the bit to install your new system, so we recommend that you read the following sections very carefully. 1 Safeguards Installation Technalogix recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression be provided on the primary AC input to the power amplifier or transmitter.
Preventative maintenance is crucial in ensuring that safety is maintained. Specifically, check that transmission line grounds are tight and are not missing any hardware. Frequently inspect support clamps or spring hangers. Consider investing in an ice break, if you haven’t already done so, as shards of falling ice can damage the transmission line – and if it is going to happen, it will happen at an important time. Check the tower light photocells and conduit.
1 Safeguards 2 Terms and Warranty The better-known tower manufacturers offer complete technical and safety documentation with their towers. Be sure that you have this information as it regards wind loading, guying, etc. The best-designed antenna system will function poorly if shortcuts and compromises are used during installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly, along with any engineering data prepared for the site.
1 Safeguards 2 Terms and Warranty 3 Principle of Operation 4 Installation 5 Operation 6 Control System 7 RF Components Visually inspect the enclosure of the power amplifier or transmitter for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

On units that have a separate filter or filter/power supply enclosure after the power amplifier enclosure, ensure to connect the transmitting antenna cable on the last enclosure in the chain to the RF Out and connect the RF coaxial between the power amplifier and the second enclosure in the chain. The system must be loaded into a 50-ohm load before any power is turned on for over-the-air systems.

Connect additional control/monitoring cables if desired. SNMP or Ethernet should be connected to the lower RJ45 on the back panel.
4. Verify that the power amplifier fans are all on. The power amplifier fans are powered via DC voltage so this is an indication that the power supply is started and running. There may be fans installed in the filter or power supply enclosures, if applicable. 5. The internal soft start circuitry will turn the bias voltages off until the power supply to the amplifier pallets is fully stable.
11. Select the appropriate input from the FM Controls screen on the front panel. 12. Adjust the attenuation for the input if needed from the Audio Levels screen on the front panel. Check the modulation level on the main RF Display or FM display on the front panel. 13. After warm up, compare the temperature of the equipment from the front display to the temperature recorded in the final inspection sheet, included in shipping.

The four level bars show real time system performance and help illustrate any transient changes that occur. Some of the units of measure can be adjusted in Settings Menu described later in this section.

1 Safeguards 2 Terms and Warranty 3 Principle of Operation 4 Installation 5 Operation 6 Control System 7 RF Components 8 Power Supply RF output power is determined largely in part by the amount of attenuation that the control system places on the input of the power amplifier/transmitter. Whether a fault occurs and attenuation gets added or the user requests a change in RF power level via the web/SNMP/Remote Port interface, the attenuation section of the summary bar conveys important operating information.
From any screen, the FM amplifier or transmitter carrier can be turned on or off to facilitate adjustments, settings, and testing/troubleshooting. To toggle carrier states, simply touch the switch icon: 1 Safeguards 2 Terms and Warranty 7 RF Components 8 Power Supply 9 Maintenance If additional screens, details, and settings are required, several additional screens can be accessed through the SYSTEM SETTINGS button described later in this section.

The individual menu screens will now be covered. 7 RF Components 8 Power Supply 9 Maintenance While the user is in the sub menu screens (anything besides the Main Screens), full monitoring and protection is taking place. This means that as a user makes a change to a setting or parameter that jeopardizes the power amplifier or transmitter, the control system will provide protection, display the fault in red text near the top of the touchscreen, and stay in the current menu.
2 Terms and Warranty 7 RF Components 8 Power Supply 9 Maintenance Press the up or down arrows (in either 1 or 10% increments or decrements) until the desired Forward RF level is reached. If the adjusted level exceeds 110%, the protection will kick in and the system will fold back the RF power to a safe level. There may be a residual amount of Forward RF power even at 0% setting, but it should be insignificant.
7 RF Components 8 Power Supply 9 Maintenance If multiple amplifier pallets are included in the amplifier chain, then the individual currents will all be displayed in the Currents section of the screen. In the case of multiple pallets in the chain, typically the user should see matching of the final pallets to within approximately 10%. Anything outside this range is usually a sign that there may be an issue. Transistor device could be the culprit, or the tragic spilt-drink-on-amplifier incident.
Input Impedance: When analog audio input is selected as a source, the user can adjust the input impedance of the exciter in the transmitter between 600 and 10k ohms. 2 Terms and Warranty 7 RF Components All Technalogix FM transmitters have a stereo encoder built in to the exciter circuit board. The user can switch between Mono and Stereo option by simply touching this icon on the touch screen.
1 Safeguards 2 Terms and Warranty 3 Principle of Operation 4 Installation 5 Operation 6 Control System 7 RF Components Pre-emphasis adds a boost to high frequencies in the FM signal to increase the signal above the noise floor. The FM signal then is de-emphasized at the radio receiver end. Users can change the amount of pre-emphasis to suit their location and receivers. A lower pre-emphasis, say 50 us versus 75 us, is a lighter boost, but also increases high frequency headroom.
