Section 2 Installation Issue 2.0
2.3.4 VSHD Exciter and VS Transmitter Interconnections
Several cables must be connected between the VSHD exciter and the associated VS
transmitter to ensure proper operation. These cables (W1 through W4) are all included in the
Installation Kit (Nautel Part # 211-8982-01) provided with the VSHD exciter. See Figure 2-8
to locate VSHD exciter connectors. Refer to the VS transmitter’s Installation Manual for Pre-
Commissioning instructions (setting up and configuring an external exciter and location of
transmitter connectors).
NOTE
The lengths of cables in the “VSHD System Cables” bag require that the VSHD exciter be
mounted in close proximity to the VS transmitter. For example, the Cat-5e cable (W1) is
approximately two feet in length.
2.3.4.1 XMTR LINK – W1
Connect the serial link Cat-5e cable (W1) between the VS transmitter’s XMTR LINK connector
(A1J1, using the W1P1 end) and the VSHD’s XMTR LINK connector (A1J2, using the W1P2
end).
2.3.4.2 AES/EBU FROM AUDIO OVER IP – W2
See 2.3.3.2.1 for details on using this connection. If used, connect the D-sub to D-sub cable
(W2) between the VS transmitter’s REMOTE I/O-A connector (A1J2A, using the W2P1 end)
and the VSHD’s ANALOG AUDIO IN connector (A1J5, using the W2P2 end).
2.3.4.3 XMTR RF SAMPLE – W3
Connect the BNC to SMA cable (W3) between the VS transmitter’s RF SAMPLE OUT BNC
connector [J1 (for VS300) or J3 (for VS1 or VS2.5), using the W3P1 end] and the VSHD’s
XMTR RF SAMPLE IN SMA connector (A1J1, using the W3P2 end).
2.3.4.4 RF OUT – W4
Connect the BNC to BNC cable (W4) between the VS transmitter’s RF DRIVE IN BNC
connector [J4 (for VS300) or J1 (for VS1 or VS2.5), using the W4P1 end] and the VSHD’s RF
OUT BNC connector (A2J2, using the W4P2 end).
2.3.5 LAN Connection
An Ethernet port is available on the LAN connector (U4J2) on the rear panel of the exciter.
This port connects to your HD data source (Exporter Plus, etc.), either directly or via a LAN
connection. When connected, a user can view the operational status of the VSHD exciter’s
internal Exgine PWB using a web-based browser. These status pages should be accessed
for troubleshooting purposes only. Nautel recommends you use shielded Cat-5e Ethernet
cable to make this connection. Refer to paragraph 3.1.6 – Exgine Web Interface for typical
web pages associated with the Exgine PWB.
