Superior Broadcast ATVCA Amplier
Concerning mains voltage wires, these must be assured with their terminals. Neutral
and Ground connection particularly is a very worrying matter. A well made Ground
connection assures safe interaction between users and equipments. In a three
phase star congured mains voltage connection, Neutral wire is very important.
In such a conguration, when Neutral connection is precarious or even worse
broken, permanent serious damage occur certainly to the amplier. Mains voltage
supply of electrical plant must be provided with an adequate line breaker, and this
breaker must assure that Neutral connection become interrupted simultaneously
the other lines. The worst case occurs when in a three phase star conguration,
two (or three) electric lines are connected and Neutral is not. In the elecrical supply
plant, Ground and Neutral connection ever must be wired without fuse in series.
For user’s safe, Ground connection must be marked by very low impedance
toward Earth. User must take account that, when mains connector is inserted in
the receiving PS module, mains voltage is available to all equipment and so it is
practically ready to run.
Note: Factory recommends customer to specify in advance his preferred mains
voltage option. The changing of mains voltage conguration is not a so demanding
job, but nal measurement section in factory’s laboratory reects better the real
state of things if nothing has been modied after.
6.2 Quick Start
The scope of this chapter is to summarize the procedures for installing the machine.
If any point is not fully comprehensible, such as how to operate the machine the
rst time, it is advisable to read the entire manual very carefully.
In this description it is assumed that the amplier is not supplied pre-installed in
a rack inside a transmission system. In this case most of the operations outlined
herein (for instance the wiring ones) are obviously not necessary.
Unpack the amplier and rstly check that it has not been damaged in any way
during transport. Check that all connectors, in front and rear panel of the equipment,
are undamaged and controls on the front and back panels are in good order.
Check, if required, that the fuses are installed, in good working order and accessible
on the back panel. The required fuse values are as follows:
@208/230V
single phase
@208/230V
three phase
@400V
three phase

(2x) F25T type
10x38
(2x) F16T type

After having plugged the mains power cable to the MAINS connector (the MAINS
connector is a terminal box. Ensure that the wire is not live before performing the
connection) at the back of the machine, power on the amplier via the switchboard.
