4.2 Features
The PTX-LCD is available in a version with incorporated stereo coder (identified
by code “/S”) or in a MONO/MPX version. The MONO/MPX model may be used
for mono or stereo transmission using an external stereo coder.
User interface consists of a graphic liquid crystal display and a knob (encoder).
This interface lets you view all parameters relating to machine operation and adjust
settable parameters (e.g.: power level or operating frequency).
The exciter has been designed to easily integrate into complex transmission
systems. To this end, it is capable of accepting data from, controlling or interacting
with external equipments, such as amplifiers, switching units, relays or other
exciters.
The PTX-LCD design is based on a modular concept: the different functions
are performed by modules that are connected directly through male and female
connectors or through flat cables terminated by connectors. This design facilitates
maintenance and module replacement.

5. Quick guide for installation and use
This section provides a step-by-step description of equipment installation and
configuration procedure. Follow these procedures closely upon first power-on
and each time any change is made to general configuration, such as when a new
transmission station is added or the equipment is replaced.
Once the desired configuration has been set up, no more settings are required
for normal operation; at each power-up (even after an accidental shutdown),
the equipment 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 firmware features and
capabilities. Please see the relevant sections for additional details.
IMPORTANT: When configuring and testing the transmitter in which the equipment
is integrated, be sure to have the Final Test Table supplied with the equipment ready
at hand throughout the whole procedure; the Final Test Table lists all operating
parameters as set and tested at the factory.
5.1 Using the encoder
The interaction between the user and the exciter’s control software is performed
using the encoder (fig. 5.1).
Turn the encoder counterclockwise
to move the cursor downwards, to
decrease the value of a parameter
or to choose an element from a list
of possibilities.
Turn the encoder clockwise to
move the cursor upwards, to
increase the value of a parameter
or to choose an element from a list
of possibilities.
Push the button once to enter in the desired
menu, to enter in modification mode or to
confirm a choice.
Figure 5.1
The operations that can be performed on the encoder are:
• rotation: moves the cursor shown on the display; if you turn the encoder to
the left (counterclockwise), the cursor moves downwards, if you turn it right the
cursor moves upwards; it also permits to increase or diminish the parameters
(turning the encoder left diminishes the parameter, turning it right increases it)
or to select an item form a list of options.

• pression: push the button once when the cursor is on the name of a menu to
enter in that menu, push it when the corsor is on the name of a parameter to
enter in modification mod (the cursor starts blinking); after the modification of
a parameter, push the button to save the new value.
After having modified the value of a parameter, the cursor goes on blinking for
approximately 30 seconds, waiting for confirmation from the user. If the user
doesn’t confirm the new value (i.e., the button is not pressed), the device emits a
sound to indicate that no modification has been saved; the cursor stops blinking
and remains on the selected parameter.
5.2 Preparation
Unpack the transmitter and before any other operation check the unit for any
shipping damage and check that all the controls and connectors on the front and
rear panels are in good conditions.
Check the mains voltage selector on the rear panel: the selected value is indicated
by the angle of changer switch. If required, use a little screwdriver (Fig. 5-2) and
rotate the block until that the correct value corresponds.
Figure 5.2
If it has been necessary to change voltage, check the fuse value. The required
values are the following:
PTX30LCD
240VAC ±10% - 3,16 A (5x20)
120VAC ±10% - 6,30 A (5x20)

outside.
The values are 4A for the PTX30LCD version and 8A for the PTX50LCD,
PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD and PTX150LCD versions.
Verify that the mains switch on the front panel of the unit is on the OFF position.
Connect to the RF output of the exciter a proper load (a dummy load with suitable
dissipation power, an antenna, a final amplifier or a combiner).
Note: When you connect the PTX-LCD to other devices, it is necessary to strictly
follow the instructions given by the resepective manufacturers, to avoid damages
or danger situations.
Connect the mains cable to the plug on the rear of the exciter.
Note: This device shall be correctly connected to ground.
Correct grounding is essential both for safety and to reach the rated
performances.
Connect your source audio (for example the mixer or STL output) to the suitable
input connector. Depending on the version, the PTX-LCD offers a number of input
choices, L+R, MPX or even digital; see the connectors description for details.
5.3 Operation
Switch on the exciter with the mains switch on the front panel.

Pushing the button places the transmitter in standby mode, which provides full
operation, but disables RF power output.
If the button is not pushed, the start-up sequence will continue.
The transmitter stores set parameters in a non volatile memory so that the correct
configuration is retained upon power-off.
When settings are not correct, as may be the case on first power-on, or need to
be changed for some reason before beginning transmission, the transmitter may
be placed in standby mode as mentioned above.
This is only necessary when you wish to change machine settings before beginning
transmission.
The PTX-LCD menu system enables the user to control all operating parameters
of the machine.
Before enabling exciter power output, check the following key parameters and
adjust as required:
• frequency
• power
• audio input level
• audio input impedance
• preemphasis
• audio input type (depending on version, MONO or MPX; or MONO, MPX_U,
MPX_B, STEREO)
• if in STEREO mode, ensure that pilot tone is active
If RF power output was disabled, you may now enable it from the MAIN menu as
follows: select the first item and change setting from OFF to ON.
The RF power output of the PTX-LCD may be disabled from the main menu at
any time.
During machine operation, all available parameters can be viewed or edited using
the menu system.

5.4 Calibration
The PTX-LCD trimmers can be accessed from the rear panel and can be adjusted
by the user. There are two EXT AGC (FWD and RFL) trimmers and the LEVEL
ADJ trimmers.
The LEVEL ADJ trimmers are used to control modulation levels to the matching
inputs. Audio input levels are adjusted via software in 1 dB steps and the trimmers
are used for fine tuning.
For SCA input levels, only trimmer adjustment is available.
The EXT AGC trimmers enable the user to limit exciter output power according
to the levels reached by two analogue quantities acquired through the Remote
connector.
Nota: this function should not be used if you are using amplifiers of Green Line
series,and to avoid the possible rupture of final which invalidates any kind of
warranty.
The two trimmers use the same mode of operation: EXT AGC - FWD is connected
to pin 10 of the Remote connector, whereas EXT AGC-RFL is connected to pin 2.
If voltage at either of the pins exceeds the threshold set at the matching trimmer,
exciter output power is reduced until the monitored quantity drops below the set
limit.
These trimmers are very useful when the exciter is part of a transmission system.
For example, assuming that the PTX-LCD is connected to a power amplifier, a
proportional signal may be linked to amplifier output power at pin 10 and another
proportional signal may be linked to reflected power at pin 2. This way, power is
kept steady at varying operating frequencies even though amplifier gain is variable
and reflected power limitation is achieved for the whole system without triggering
amplifier protection equipments.
The calibration procedure for the EXT AGC trimmers of PTX-LCD in a configuration
with power amplifier is described below.
Perform the connections shown in figure 5.3. The cable to connect the two
equipments is available from R.V.R. Elettronica on request, or the user may ask
a skilled technician to provide a cable to match the pinout of the amplifier used.

Switch on amplifier and exciter set to minimum power.
Turn both trimmers fully anticlockwise.
Gradually increase exciter output power until the forward power reading on the
amplifier meter is just below the desired threshold.
Turn the EXT AGC - FWD trimmer clockwise until the reading of amplifier output
power begins to decrease.
Set exciter power to minimum setting.
Disconnect the dummy load from the amplifier and replace it with a mismatch
load so that part of the output power is reflected back and set amplifier meter to
measure reflected power.
Gradually increase exciter output power until the reflected power reading on the
amplifier meter is just above the desired threshold.
Turn the EXT AGC - RFL trimmer clockwise until the reading of amplifier reflected
power begins to decrease.
The trimmer calibration procedure is completed. Thanks to this system, the user
may choose the preferred power setting at the exciter, while amplifier forward and
reflected power remains within the set thresholds.

The best results with this function will be obtained investing some time in
experimentation with your own radio programs:
• Use the man MODPK to check your average modulation level. Adjust the input
level from the main menu so that the average modulation level is the nearest
to 100%.
• Set the IAMLC parameters as suggested by the table, and adjust them so that
the function is not activated too often. Consider the fact that the intervention
of the function stops when the average modulation level goes between the
minimum and maximum thresholds.
• The use of the clipper circuit (BdSet menu) helps in the limitation of the
modulation peaks above 100%, though introducing a certain aomunt of distorion.
Think about your possible need for this function, depending on your radio.
The figure shows an example of modulation level evolution when the IAMLC
function is activated.

8. Factory Settings
Each time a change is made to a PTX-LCD parameter, the new setting is added
to machine configuration information, which is stored in a non-volatile memory
area. On switch on, the exciter will retain the same configuration it had been using
before the last switch off.
At the factory, the exciter may be set to meet application-specific requirements
(for example, when the customer specifies operating frequency and mode of
operation of the system the exciter is to be incorporated into on order), or to a
preset configuration.
The PTX-LCD preset configuration is determined by the position of a set of jumpers
located inside the machine. When the exciter is switched on, the name of the
selected preset configuration appears on the display.

9.2 Access to the modules
Warning: Dangerous voltages or currents inside! Be careful when opening the
device. Always disconnect power supply before removing the covers or any device
component.
Remove all screws on the top cover of the machine. Remove the cover and refer
to the block diagram to identify and locate all exciter components.
To remove the (stereo or mono) coder and PLL cards, simply undo the hexagon
nuts that secure the cards over the stud bolts. Both cards have strip connectors
at the bottom and these connectors are coupled to the audio mainboard.
To remove the audio input card (which is secured to the audio connector card and
to the right side of the exciter rear panel), undo the four nuts that retain the card to
the audio mainboard stud bolts and then remove the five screws on the rear panel
and the three bottom screws that retain the connector support.
The RF power amplifier is secured to its cooling fin and is held in position by three
screws located on exciter bottom. The screws hold the fin in place; remove these
screws to release the amplifier.
Power supply and switching power supply use the same fastening system and can
be released by removing the screws that secure the fins to machine bottom. Note,
however, that the interlock connector soldered to the power supply is retained to
the rear panel by a nut, and you will need to undo this nut before you can remove
the power supply.
The panel card and the CPU card are held in place by nuts screwed onto the stud
bolts. Detach the front panel from the box before removing these cards.

10.1 Power Supply
There are two separate power supply sections.
A first section provides power supply for power final stage. It consists in a switching
power supply unit mounted on a cooling fin.
The second section consists in a card mounted on a heat sink located centrally in
the machine. This card accommodates the power supply that feeds the different
machine cards (audio, CPU...), a section that handles analogue inputs from the
“Remote” connector and the automatic power level control system.
10.1.1 Adjustments, settings and indicators
While the switching power supply requires no adjustments, the power supply card
accommodates several indicators and adjustable components.

The audio input section is located at the rear end of the machine and is connected
directly to the audio mainboard through comb connectors. It is made up of two
cards assembled at right angles to give an L-shaped pattern and secured to the
rear panel section that accommodates the audio connectors.
The first card holds the level trimmers and the input filters. The second card includes
level adjustments and audio configuration software control switches.
After the necessary elaboration (filtering, level adjustment, selection), the audio
input section passes the signals on to the audio mainboard, that routes them to
the coder card.

10.4 Coder
The coder card is mounted above the mainboard between the audio input card
and the PLL & Driver card.
This card comes in two versions, namely Stereo and Mono/MPX. The only
difference between a Stereo PTX-LCD and a Mono/MPX PTX-LCD lies in the
coder module.
Depending on the version, this card accommodates the low-pass filters, the
preemphasis circuits, the stereo coder and the Clipper circuit, which may be
enabled or disabled via software.
The Clipper circuit is mandatory in some countries; its purpose is to limit modulation
level when audio inputs exceed nominal level.

10.5 PLL/Driver card & VCO Card
The PLL/Driver card is located on the left side of the PTX-LCD and is plugged into
the audio mainboard.
The digital PLL module consists of a high-stability oscillator with temperature control
and a digital circuit that divides and compares operating frequency. The oscillator
generates a 10 Mhz frequency that is divided to give a fixed 1 kHz signal.
This signal is sent to the digital comparator/divider circuit that compares it to
the VCO output signal, which has been divided according to exciter operating
frequency.
The comparator AFC output signal is sent to to the varicap diodes mounted on the
VCO card and added to the audio signal provided by the Coder card.
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) generates the signal on exciter operating
frequency; this signal is amplified up to about 300mW (25dBm), which is the
necessary level to pilot the R.F. Power Amplifier block.
Note: The VCO card is housed in a nickel silver brass box secured to the PLL &
Driver card.

10.6 Power amplifier
The power amplifier is available in 30W, 50/60/100W and 150W.
Final power stage is secured to a heat-sink fin in the centre of the device and
housed in a fully shielded metal enclosure secured to the central section of the
equipment.
The R.F. signal from the PLL/DRIVER CARD, which is about 200mW, reaches
the pilot, is amplified uy an intermediate stage and sent to the final stage which
provides to the last amplification.
The resulting signal is filtered by a low-pass filter to remove harmonic
components.
A directional coupler located inside the final stage measures forward and
reflected power of the load and sends the relating signals to the power supply for
verification.
A -30dBc level output for output power is available on a BNC connector located
on the rear panel, under the transmitter output connector.

10.9 AUDINP-DIG card
The card permits to the PTX-LCD exciter the integration into systems using digital
audio distribution.
This card is designed to replace the typical audio input section with no need for
particular adjustments; no changes to exciter firmware (Releasexx04xxxx) are
required after an update.
If present, a digital input will be automatically selected by the supplied logic.
Analogue (instead of digital) input selection can be forced using an external
command.
A automatic switch is available to choose between the balanced (AES/EBU),
unbalaced (S/PDIF) or optical (TOSLINK) digital input.
Two trimmers adjust converted digital input level to normalize R and L signals with
respect to analogue input regulated level.
The D/A conversion is performed automatically by 24 bit converters using a
sampling frequency from 32 to 96 KHz.
This option supports data formats S/PDIF, AES/EBU, IEC958 and EIAJ
CP340/1201.
10.9.1 Functions description
The section is located in the PTX-LCD rear panel and is connected directly to the
audio mainboard via a strip line connector. It includes three different cards.
The system provides for twelve cyclic system queries that enable quick fault
location. If queries are not successful, a FAULT signal is sent to the CPU card that
will take the necessary action to prevent additional faults.

The first card contains the balanced analogue inputs and the level trimmers
for all analogue inputs and their filters; this is the same card used in PTX-LCD
without AUDINP-DIG. The second card accommodates level adjustments and the
software-based audio configuration switches. The third section helps convert the
digital signal to “Left” and “Right” analogue signal and includes a matching level
trimmer. This section also enables digital or analogue input selection: digital inputs
are selected by default where fitted, whereas analogue inputs are selected using
the Digital/Analog switch jack connector. A manual switch is available to choose
between the balanced (AES/EBU) and unbalanced (TOSLINK and S/PDIF) digital
input.
After the necessary elaboration (filtering, level adjustments, D/A conversion,
selection), the audio input passes the signal on to the mainboard that routes it to
the coder card.
