5. PTRL-LCD quick guide for installation and use
This chapter contains the necessary instructions for the installation and use of the
equipment. In case some aspects are not totally clear, for instance when a user
is using this equipment for the first time, we advise the new user to read carefully
the entire description contained in this manual.
5.1 Preparation
Unpack the exciter and before doing any other operation, be sure it has not been
damaged during transport. In particular check that all the connectors are in perfect
condition.
The main fuse can be accessed from the outside on the rear panel. Extract the
fuse carrier with a screwdriver to check its integrity or for replacement, if necessary.
The fuse to be used is this type:
• MAIN FUSE 3.15 A 5x20
Check that the supply voltage value coincides with the AC voltage available.
The input supply field is of:
• PTRL-LCD 80-260 V
AC
Check that the PTRL-LCD mains switche is in the “OFF” position, it is placed on
the front panel and inhibits the switching power supply of the machine.
Connect the RF output of the exciter to the antenna cable or to a dummy load able
to dissipate the power generated by the PTRL-LCD.
Note: in case the load is not present, don’t touch the RF output connector during
the equipment operation to avoid electric shock and electrocution.
Connect the mains cable to the proper standard IEC plug, placed on the rear
panel.
Note: It is necessary that the mains system being provided with grounding to
ensure both the operators’ safety and correct operation of the equipment.
If the user intends to use external batteries in case of AC supply interruption,
connect them to the clamps situated at the back of the equipment being careful
to respect the polarity.
WARNING: Keep in mind that the general switch of the transmitter has an effect
on the AC supply, and not on the possible auxiliary supply. If you use an external
supply with continuous current, it is then necessary to have an external switch for
this purpose.
