Problem Identification Procedures
Instruction Manual, Rev. 0 3-2
3.1: Unpacking and Installation of the Cabinets
Locate the driver/amplifier cabinet, which contains the Axciter, exciter/driver, amplifier,
controller and power supply trays, the pump cabinet assembly and the heat exchanger.
Remove the driver/amplifier cabinet, the pump cabinet assembly, the heat exchanger and
any installation material from the crates and boxes. Remove the straps that hold the
cabinets to the shipping skids and slide the cabinets from the skids. Remove the plastic
wrap and foam protection from around the cabinets. Do not remove any labeling or tags
from any hoses, cables or connectors; these are identification markers that make
assembly of the transmitter system much easier. Open the rear door and carefully
remove any packing material. The Axciter, exciter/driver, controller and power supply
trays are mounted in the cabinet using Chassis Trak cabinet slides. Slowly slide each tray
in and out to verify that they do not rub against each other and have no restrictions to
free movement. Adjustments may be necessary. The adjustments are accomplished by
loosening the cabinet slide mounting bolts that hold the front of the slide to the mounting
frame of the cabinet and moving the tray up or down as needed. Inspect the trays for any
loose hardware or connectors, tightening where required. Open the rear door to the
cabinet and inspect the interior for packing material and carefully remove any material
that is found. The cabinet should be positioned with consideration for adequate ventilation
and access to the front of the exciter/amplifier cabinet for the installation and removal of
the trays and the opening of the rear door. Locate the pump cabinet assembly and the
heat exchanger and position according to the Site drawing. Refer to the 6X Typical
System Floor Plan drawing for an idea as to the installation of the transmitter.
3.2: Unpacking and Installation of the RF System and Cooling System
The RF System for your transmitter will vary in size and configuration, depending on the
frequency and manufacturer of the RF system. The RF System may be dropped shipped
directly to the site or included with the transmitter material. Locate and inventory the RF
System checking that all items are accounted for. The preparation and the actual
installation of the RF system may take a full week to complete, so allow time for the
installation. Install the RF System according to the floor plan drawings for your site.
The Cooling System for the transmitter will vary in size and configuration, depending on
the power rating of the transmitter and location of the heat exchanger and pump cabinet
assembly. The Exciter/Amplifier cabinet and heat exchanger each have two Hose Barb
Connectors, one for the input and one for the output of the water, to which the 1-1/4”
hoses connect. The pump rack has four Hose Barb connections, one to and one from the
heat exchanger and one to and one from the Transmitter. Refer to the 6X Water Cooling
System Block Diagram, the Pump Rack drawing, and heat exchanger drawing for the
connection locations. Connect the 1-1/4” hoses to the barb connectors and fix each
connection in place with a hose clamp.
NOTE: Use Gates Premo-Flex Hose or equivalent only. NOTE: Refer to the detailed
system drawings for the site into which the transmitter is to be installed for the exact
location of the exciter/amplifier cabinet, pump rack assembly, and heat exchanger.
