Manual Overview
This manual contains the description of the Innovator CU5-1800BTD/BRD ATSC
Transmitter/Regenerative Translator and the circuit descriptions of the boards, which
make up the system. The manual also describes the installation, setup and alignment
procedures for the system. Appendix A of this manual contains the system level
drawings for the Innovator CU5-1800BTD/BRD ATSC Transmitter/Regenerative
Translator. NOTE: Information and drawings on the Axciter, if part of your system, are
contained in the separate Axciter Instruction Manual.
Assembly Designators
Axcera has assigned assembly numbers, Ax designations such as A1, where x=1,2,3…etc,
to all assemblies, modules, and boards in the system. These designations are referenced
in the text of this manual and shown on the block diagram and interconnect drawings
provided in Appendix A.
The cables that connect between the boards within a tray or assembly and that connect
between the trays, racks and cabinets are labeled using Brady markers. Figure 1 is an
example of a Brady marked cable. There may be as few as two or as many as four
Markers on any one cable. These Brady markers are read starting furthest from the
connector. If there are four Brady Markers, this marker is the system number such as
system 1 or translator 2. The next or the furthest Brady Marker is the rack or cabinet
number on an interconnect cable or the board number within a tray. The next number
on an interconnect cable is the Tray location or number. The Brady marker closest to
the connector is the jack or connector number on an interconnect cable or the jack or
connector number on the board within a tray.
