DC Fuse The rear panel DC fuse provides DC input power
protection for units used with DC power sources.
RS 232 DB-9 Connector The RS 232 DB-9 connector provides
connections for factory test or to a Microsoft Windows-based PC
when using the Configurator software. The connector also
provides connections for Wayside data.
3.3 Preparing for Operation
Each installation or deployment will have its own specific tasks
according to the application and the installed hardware.
3.3.1 Portable Deployment - Typical
For portable applications where the PTX-PRO will be moved
from place to place and set up each time, the system will
typically be mounted on an MRC Quick Release Mount for easy
attachment to an MRC tripod. Other mounts are also available.
For additional information, refer to the “Installation” Chapter on
page 6-1.
3.3.2 Powering the PTX-PRO Transmitter
The procedures required to power up and power down the PTX-
PRO are contained in the following steps.
Power Up
1. Verify the power cable is properly connected to the
PTX-PRO front panel power connector.
2. Verify all front and rear panel cables and connectors
have been properly connected.
If you are unsure of the connections, refer to the
“Installation” Chapter on page 6-1.
Connect the power cable to the power source.
If you are unsure of the power requirements or the
connections, refer to the “Installation” Chapter on
page 6-1.
3. Verify the power source is turned on.
4. Set the front panel PWR switch to on ( I ).
5. The normal power-up sequence is as follows:
-The PWR LED above the PWR switch should
illuminate and should quickly change colors from red,
to green, to amber, to green, and should remain green.
- The alphanumeric display should light up and quickly
display a self-test screen, then the version of the
firmware, and finally the Main screen.
- Some typical screens are shown in Figure 3-3. Exact
screens displayed will vary.
- The PTX-PRO will typically power up using the last
settings in use when power was turned off.
- If the PTX-PRO does not power up normally, refer to
the “Troubleshooting” Chapter on page 4-1.
