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. / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual ELETTRONICA PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD • 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) PTX50LCD 240 VAC ±10% - 6,30 A (5x20) 120VAC ±10% - 10,0 A (5x20) PTX60LCD 240 VAC ±10% - 6,30 A (5x20) 120VAC ±10% - 10,0 A (5x20) User Manual Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 / 44 PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD PTX100LCD 240 VAC ±10% - 6,30 A (5x20) 120VAC ±10% - 10,0 A (5x20) PTX150LCD 240 VAC ±10% - 6,30 A (5x20) 120VAC ±10% - 10,0 A (5x20) ELETTRONICA It is also possible to check the integrity of the RF amplifier section fuse from the 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. All the STATUS and ALARMS leds are lit on to permit the verification of their good working status. The display than shows some information regarding the exciter. RVR ELETTRONICA PTX30 LCD TRDSP CCIR STEREO 03050600 30/04/2004 After a few seconds, an intermittent beep and a display message prompt the user to push the button if operating parameters are not. 10 / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD ELETTRONICA !!! ATTENTION !!! The setting parameters are: Frequency: Power : 98.000 Mhz 8 % Push encoder button if you don't accept these parameters 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. User Manual Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 11 / 44 PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD ELETTRONICA 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. 12 / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD ELETTRONICA Figure 5.3 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.

In the same way, when the average modulation level goes below the minimum threshold for a time interval exceeding the minimum hysteresis time that has been set, the input level is increased by 1 dB. Both the attenuation and the increase that IAMLC is allowed to introduce, have limits that can be set by the user. The elements of this menu are the following: IAMLCEnable or disable the function Mod Minimum and maximum thresholds for the intervention of IAMLC Ist Intervention time related to the minimum and maximum thresholds Att Maximum attenuation and increase IAMLC is allowed to introduce The following table suggests the settings of this function for different kinds of radio programs: Radio Program Mod Min Mod Max Ist Min Ist Max Att Min Att Max Dance 75 % 100 % 10 s 1s -3 dBm +6 dBm Pop, rock 30 % 100 % 20 s 0,5 s -3 dBm +6 dBm Electronic 50 % 100 % 10 s 1,5 s -3 dBm +3 dBm Jazz 40 % 100 % 5s 0,5 s -3 dBm +6 dBm Classical 20 % 92 % 30 s 0,5 s -4 dBm +10 dBm Talk show 40 % 85 % 30 s 1s -3 dBm +14 dBm 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.

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. 32 / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual RS232 CONNECTOR DB9 3 CN1 INT1V1009 SW1 MAINS VOLTAGE FUS5X20DL6,3 PFS5X20PAB10 DISPLAY LCD CPU CARD ENCODER 2 2 JP4 JP3 SLT2P6,3AP 3 1 SW2A 240V 230V 120V 110V BACKLIGHT LAMP BACKLIGHT LED LAMP CONN STRIP 20 PIN CONN STRIP 90 PIN CONN MASCON 6 PIN 1 SLDB9FFILFL2 FL1 JP11 18 0 15 0 31 0 TRFPTX30LT/2 TR1 JP10 JP9 FRONT PANEL CARD JP1 JP1 2 CN3 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 MORSVL6P 1 FLTPTXLCD05 FL4 1 FLTPTXLCD03 FL2 CONN STRIP 26 PIN CONN STRIP 16 PIN CN5 CN1 JP1 JP2 JP5 JP3 JP2 JP6 JP1 PF2 FUS5X20RP6,3 CN2 1 JP8 JP3 FLTPTXLCD04 FL3 MORSVL6P CN4 PFS5X20PAN10 F2 JP1 MOTHER BOARD AUDIO JP6 POWER SUPPLY CARD 3 JP2 4 STEREO CODER CARD OR MONO / MPX CARD 1 JP1 5 2 VTL0824UB FAN1 CNTMASF2PVL CN5 CN2 CNTFVL10P 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT CARD C1 CEA109MS500V JP1 JP2 JP1 JP1 TP2 R.F.

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. 38 / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD ELETTRONICA JP RV D JP RV 10.5.1 Adjustments, settings and indicators On: PLL not locked Frequency adjustment Deviation adjustment 1-2 exchanger between internal reference and 10 MHz external input in equipments with SFN option JP4 Factory setting - do not alter D2 RV1 RV2 JP1 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.

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. 42 / 44 Rev. 4.0 - 05/02/16 User Manual ELETTRONICA PTX30LCD, PTX50LCD, PTX60LCD, PTX100LCD & PTX150LCD 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.
