Expresses condition of a possible danger that has possibility of causing a minor or medium trouble if not avoided, and also expresses dangerous condition supposed to cause material defects only.

(1) Be sure to place the transmitter in vertical position without slanting.

(2) Do not step onto the top of the transmitter.

(3) Do not step onto the piping nor place any article on the piping.

(4) Do not work by wet hand.

(5) If water is splashed on any part of the transmitter, wipe the splashes with a dry cloth.

(6) When tightening or loosening a flange of the piping, be sure to use two wrenches. If not so, the piping may deform or twist.

(7) When pulling a PA out of the rack, be sure to;

(a) disconnect input cable of the PA and put it away not to be damaged during the replacement work, (b) turn off the AC breaker of the PA located behind cover, (c) close the PA valves located behind the PA at rear side of the rack.

(8) When on the air, do not disconnect two or more PAs.

(9) When mounting a PA, be sure to mount the PA to come to the end position. In this case, be sure to check if other PAs on the rack are disconnected by shock during the mounting work.

(10) When mounting/dismounting a unit (exciter, TX control, etc.), take care so that the cables on the rear space are not caught up with the unit.

1 - 2 GWP-G22906

(11) Do not operate the transmitter with the external interlock circuit strapped. In such a case, unexpected accident may be caused.

(12) In case that a PA is stored to the storage or is shipped back to the repair center, be sure to remove coolant completely from the PA by using FOOT PUMP attached as a part of accessories.

SECTION. 2 GENERAL INFORMATION

2-1 Scope

This instruction manual contains information on the operation and maintenance of the PCN-1800N series VHF TV transmitter, including information on the separately installed equipments of the Water pump for cooling.

Information for each units used in this transmitter should be referred to the each of unit instruction manuals.

2-2 General

The PCN-1800N series VHF TV Transmitter is the latest VHF TV transmitter used for TV broadcasting.

The major features are as follows.

(1) Easy conversion to digital TX

NEC has come up with a new digitalized exciter that enables easy conversion from analog to digital through the replacement of software in our newest transmitter series.

(2) High-Performance Exciter

Nonlinear are corrected at the Video stages. Among the nonlinear parameters are the luminance nonlinear , the differential gain (DG), the differential phase (DP), and the incidental carrier phase modulation (ICPM). All of these items are individually corrected.

Higher reliability, performance, and maintainability can be obtained. Also employs one pedestal AGC circuit and one surface acoustic wave vestigial sideband (SAW VSB) filter.

2 - 1

GWP-G22906

(3) Compact Size

Its compact size(down to 78% by comparison with our recently type)contributes to the effective use of the station building inside space.

(4) High Reliability

This transmitter series incorporates a function for monitoring the status of each component unit to prevent major faults from occurring and assure continuation of stable operation.

(5) Excellent Maintenance Function

A Digital Processing Corrector (DPC) is employed in the exciter to achieve automatic linearity correction and the inter modulation product (IMP) can readily be minimized with “one-touch” operation without having to use a demodulator. LCD display ensures a user-friendly man-machine interface.

(6) Ease of Operation and user-friendly monitoring

Equipped with a display panel (LCD Display) for visually displaying operating and trouble statuses for the operator so as to be perceptible at a glance. Besides the “LCD Display”, the trouble displaying functions are distributed among several units : VHF Exciter, VHF PA (Power Amplifier unit).

The TX control unit features a built-in web server and SNMP. By connecting to a local area network, transmitters can be monitored and controlled from a remote PC with a web browser. Monitoring and control are also possible using the SNMP manager.

In order to improve the operational flexibility of the TV transmitter and the life expectancy of the PA, a wide variety of circuit design improvements have been incorporated.

3-1 Exciter Section

The exciter section is composed of DM-3100AB Exciter and Exciter switch. In the case of single transmitter exciter switch is not applied.

3-1-1 DM-3100AB Exciter

Principal features of the DM-3100AB Exciter are summarized below.

(1) Digitalized modulation and linear and non-linear correction

The visual VSB modulation, the white clip, the aural FM modulation and the linear and non-linear correction are executed at the digital base band. Non-linear distortion caused by PA and linear distortion are corrected automatically by using internal test signal and feedback signal from TX output. Also these distortions can be corrected by manually.

(2) Direct quadrature modulation and AGC

The digital I/Q signals are converted to analogue, then converted to RF directly by the quadrature modulation circuit.

AGC is done at RF stage. The AGC circuit for visual is of the pedestal type, operating to hold the pedestal or black level constant. If there is no modulation present, the AGC is automatically switched OFF. The AGC circuit for aural is of the average power type. The gain variation that can be controlled by AGC is restricted to approximately ±1dB.

(3) Synthesizer

The synthesizer incorporates voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO) with the local frequencies. This frequency is locked to a 10MHz reference frequency.

The 10MHz reference frequency is available from the crystal oscillator incorporated in the exciter and high frequency accuracy may be achieved by the use of an external reference frequency from a rubidium oscillator or GPS receiver. This permits high frequency precision, assuring high short-term stability and reduction of SSB noise.

3-5 Control Section

3-5-1 General

The transmitter is controlled mainly by the HPC-1508 TX Control. Two control modes, LOCAL and REMOTE, are provided. When the LOCAL mode is chosen, the transmitter is controlled on the operation panel mounted on the front panel of the transmitter, and does not accept external control. The LOCAL mode is chosen mainly for maintenance work. In the REMOTE mode, the transmitter accepts control from external control equipment, and also is automatically control led. In this case the control from the operation panel becomes ineffective. For the normal operation, select the REMOTE mode.

3-5-2 Control Method

Each of the controlled circuit sections of the transmitter sends out or receives number of status signal via solid-state relays, and electromagnet switches.

The transmitter employs a mechanical interlock system so that its component units are switched ON or OFF in only a given sequence. This interlock system, is incorporated as the decision circuit in the logic circuits of the TX Control Unit.

3-5-3 TX Control Unit

The condition of the transmitter is monitored with a TX Control Unit (HPC-1508). The TX Control Unit receives status signals and alarm signals form each unit in the transmitter, subjects the signals to decision and processing, thus conducting monitor and control of the transmitter.

In addition, the condition of the transmitter detected by the TX Control Unit is displayed in details on the LCD display on the front panel.

(3) Control when a fault is encountered

a) Faults

A fault of a transmitter is classified into three (3) kinds as follows:

1) When this kind of fault is encountered, the operation of a transmitter is stopped coercively. And the transmitter must be protected absolutely from this kind of fault.

2) Even if this kind of fault is encountered, the transmitter can continue its operation by switching the system automatically into the stand-by system. The exciter section and the cooling section both adopting the stand-by systems are controlled.∗

∗ Stand-by systems are only P type TX

3) If this kind of fault is encountered, the transmitter is not stopped coercively, however, the signals informing a fault must be sent to the external circuit. When a fault is encountered at a transmitter, the sensor detects the fault and transmits the response to the TX control. Then, the TX control decides the kind in which the fault is encountered, thus, controlling the transmitter.

• Faults from which the transmitter must be protected;

The following faults, if encountered require the transmitter to be protected.

3 - 11 GWP-G22906

Table 3-4 Faults from which the transmitter must be protected

Component to be Item Fault Condition Control Item Protected 1. PA TEMP The temperature on the chassis of the PA Faulty unit : OFF PA is over preset temperature. 2. REF The reflected power is over.

PA TX : OFF PRESSURE after 20sec 5. COOLANT The coolant tank on the pump rack PUMP PUMP : OFF EMPTY has become empty. TX : OFF

• Faults which, if encountered, will cause indication only (see Table 3-5).

When one of these faults is encountered, the TX control unit will hold the LED indication “ALARM” on the operation panel and send out a fault answer to the external circuitry.

∗ Fault indications on the LCD Display are not hold (locked).

Even when the output level of the exciter is not normal, the PA will not be determined to be abnormal. 3. Output Power The output power of the transmitter rises by 0.8dB or lowers by 1.0dB.

b) Reset

To reset the transmitter after one of the faults described in item a) above is encountered, depress the Reset switch to restart the transmitter and extinguish the LED indication on the operation panel. It should be noted, however, that although reset can be carried out in both Local (on the operation panel) and Remote modes, the LED indication on the operation panel can be extinguished in the Local mode only.

SECTION. 4 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

4-1 General

This section describes the procedures for starting and stopping of the transmitter as well as the methods of adjustment of the component sections in the sequence of powering these sections.

Before starting the equipment, inspect these sections for anything abnormal and correct or repair as required.

Prestarting Inspection and Service:

(1) The operator should be alert to take prompt action against any emergencies before starting the equipment.

(2) Check conditions of all cables, wires, power lines, and all connections for tightness, continuity, and proper setting.

(3) Check for electrical continuity of each cable connected across the “earth” terminal and grounding bus.

(4) Check all component parts for damage caused in transit.

(5) Check all external connections for proper polarity and wiring.

(6) Check that the commercial power supply voltage is proper.

(7) Check that the functions of all protective circuits and relays are satisfactory.

(8) In performing manual checks and adjustments be sure to turn OFF power switch.

(9) Coaxial equipment is fragile. Handle with utmost care.

Beware of a drop hazard.

(10) Make sure that indoor feeder sections are correctly assembled.

(11) Before starting up transmitter, confirm that no coolant leakage has occurred as follow procedure below.

Open the front panel of TX CONTROL, set the DIP SW (SW8-8) to “ON”(down). And then pump and heat exchanger starts up without starting up transmitter.

4 - 1 GWP-G22906

CAUTION : One of conditions for start-up of transmitter is external interlock. Be care that if this condition is not satisfied, the transmitter can’t be started. Items of the external interlock are shown below.

• Function

The transmitter operation may be initiated by the external interlock signal which is passed through interface terminal TB1-1,2 on the HPC-1556 INTERFACE BOARD. That is, before transmitter operation initiation control (TX ON) is performed, the transmitter output must be connected to the dummy load or antenna. External interlock is provided for preventing erroneous operation in RF power transmission, etc., with the output being open or when the coaxial route connection is not proper. Accordingly, this function operates in either Local or Remote mode.

• Additional Interlock Connections

It is necessary for terminal TB1-1, 2 on the HPC-1556 INTERFACE BOARD to receive closed contact when the external circuitry is in a good condition. When, for example, both the microswitch on the U-link panel and the microswitch which indicates the completion of rotation of the coaxial switch are closed, the condition of the external circuitry is regarded as normal and the “Interlock” LED (green) on the operation panel lights. If this interlock function is not required, strap terminal TB1-1, 2 on the HPC-1556 INTERFACE BOARD.
