4.6 RF HEAD MECHANICAL
INSTALL
Nucomm’s mast mounted transmitter consists
of a single RF head (containing the up-
converter, P&T, PSU, Antenna Controls, and
amplifier
In a typical installation of Nucomm's
NewsCaster VT2, the RF Head is mounted on
the Pan & Tilt mechanism, which is attached
to a pneumatic mast atop an ENG/OB van.
(See Figure 12 for a typical mounting setup.)
To ease the mounting of the RF Head to the
Pan & Tilt, mounting adapter plates are
available. The plate is first mounted to the
Pan & Tilt with (4) 1/4-20x.750" flat head
screws, then the RF Head are mounted to the
adapter plate(s). For cases when the mounting
adapter plate is not used, the hole pattern of
the RF Head base plate has been provided in
Figure 13.
NOTE: The RF Head should be mounted so
that the heat sink fins are vertical during
operation.

Note: Attach Mounting Plate(s) to Pan & Tilt before attaching to RF Head.
