WARNING

This equipment utilizes a grounding plug on all power cords. For personal safety, do not

defeat this feature. As with all similar types of equipment, high voltage can be accessed when

the chassis cover is removed. Special care should be given in areas of fuses, line switches,

and power supplies. Modern high power solid-state equipment contains low output voltage

power supplies with very high current capability. To prevent severe burns, avoid contacting

these circuits with conductive jewelry such as rings, watches etc. When servicing the

transmission line and antenna, care must be taken to avoid exposure to high-energy

microwave.

7.1 Installation of Transmitter Sub-Chassis

The transmitter modules require twelve rack units of vertical rack space (not including the

exciter).

Install the LBD-200C-N1 support rails within the equipment rack as shown in the site-specific

cabinet layout diagram. Failure to use the support rails will result in damage to the transmitter

chassis. Install rack clips to secure the transmitter front panel. Slide the chassis onto the

support rails and secure to the rack clips. The rear door of the transmitter opens for

maintenance access. Nothing should be mounted to the rear of the rack that will interfere with

this access.

Ensure AC power outlets and other brackets are appropriately located so as not to block the

rear of the transmitter. To ensure that no electrical arcing occurs, perform the installation of the

individual module segments of the transmitter in the order discussed below:
