MXi501U/1002U AMPLIFIER CHASSIS CONTENTS 1 MXi501U/1002U AMPLIFIER .........................................................................................................................................1 FIGURES FIGURE 1 MXI501U/1002U AMPLIFIER WIRING SCHEMATIC......................................................................................................2 PUB11-013 Rev 1 July 2011 11-013-i MXi501U/1002U Amplifier Chassis MXi501U/1002U AMPLIFIER CHASSIS 1 MXi501U/1002U AMPLIFIER The Amplifier Chassis Assemblies 41D2270G1&G2 consists of a standard 19" rack mountable 5.25" (3RU) enclosure containing the amplifier heatsink assembly, a fan array assembly consisting of four DC cooling fans, a controller board with built-in RF detectors and a rear panel assembly with connectors for interfacing to external equipment. The MXi501 chassis (G1) has a front panel consisting of ON/OFF, RESET switches and an LCD/Touchpad. The MXi1002 does not have these on the front panel as they are located in the power supply chassis The rear of the AMPLIFIER has the following connectors: β€’ RS232 SERIAL nine-pin connector β€’ REMOTE CONTROL 15-pin D-shell connector β€’ RF IN SMA connector β€’ INTERLOCK terminal board β€’ RF TP SMA connector – RF sample β€’ RF OUT N connector β€’ Control/Auxiliary power supply connector. β€’ 50V power supply connector. The amplifier is a broadband amplifier, thus it is operational to cover the entire UHF television spectrum ranging in frequencies from 470MHz to 860MHz. Main DC power to the amplifier assembly comes from the high efficiency switching power supply (separate chassis). There is a second auxiliary +12V power supply which is used for powering the controller and the cooling fans. The heatsink cooling fans are the +12VDC, 4-inch muffin model. They are energized when the controller turns on the main power supply to power amplifier. The voltage is supplied to the amplifier from the 12V six-pin connector on the rear panel and it is connected to the controller PC board connector, J8. As built, the cooling fans push air from the front panel through the heatsink. This assembly is located underneath the MXi Controller board. A thermal switch is mounted on the heatsink. If this temperature increases beyond the trip point of the thermal switch of 76Β°C, its contact opens and breaks the interlocking circuit of the MXi amplifier. The interlock circuit ultimately controls the power supply to the power amplifier and therefore shuts down and remains OFF until the heatsink cools down. A directional coupler is mounted at the rear of the heatsink and provides forward and reflected RF signals to the controller. These RF samples are detected and processed on the MXi controller to provide DC outputs corresponding to these signals. They are then used for AGC, VSWR supervision. The chassis is wired according to the functional diagram 41D2238 as shown in Figure 1 PUB11-013 Rev 1 July 2011 11-013-1 MXi501U/1002U Amplifier Chassis MXi501U/1 00 2U AMP L IFIER CHASSIS Figure 1 M X i 5 01U/1002U Amplifier Wir i ng Sc hem a tic PUB11- 013 R e v 1 Jul y 201 1 11-0 13-2 MXi 5 0 1 U/10 02 U Amplifier C h assis

The first module is a pre-amplifier, known as the Front-End Module. This first stage is operated in Class A mode. Next is the Driver pallet, which is biased so as to pre-correct for the non-linearity in the final amplifier stage. The next stage is a five-way splitter that splits the RF power so it can be fed to the PA pallets. The final amplifier stage is the PA pallets. After the pallets is the five-way combiner which combines the output power from the PA pallets. The last sub-assembly on the heatsink is the directional coupler which detects the forward and reflected power and provides samples to the control board and a RF test point on the rear panel. Also mounted on the heatsink is a thermal switch, which protects the amplifiers from over-temperature conditions such as the absent of cooling or amplifier over dissipation. This heatsink assembly is mounted in the Amplifier Chassis Assembly 41D2270G1 or G2. Descriptions of each stage are detailed in the following pages. Figure 1 MXi Sub-Assemblies The above picture illustrates the arrangement of the sub-assemblies on the amplifier heatsink assembly. From right to left are the Front-End and Driver modules. Centered and towards the back are the Splitter, PA modules and the Combiner. At the very back is the Directional Coupler. Strategically installed on the heatsink, is a thermal switch which protects the amplifier from over temperature conditions. Cooling for the heatsink is provided by a fan array assembly consisting of four 4-inch axial flow +12VDC muffin fans. This array is situated near the front section of the MXi housing underneath the MXi Amplifier Controller PC board. The fans blow air into the finned portion of the heatsink, which exhausts through the rear.

If there is a level difference between INPUT 1 and INPUT 2, then a portion of the difference is directed to the REJECT port. A air cooled 50 ohm termination connected to the REJECT port absorbs this difference power. If either of the inputs to the combiner module is shut down, then a maximum of 250W of reject power will be absorbed by the load on the REJECT port. The other half of the input power is directed to the output connector.

The rear of the MXi1002U Power Supply Chassis has the following connectors: β€’ 12V and main DC monitoring and control for Amp 1(J11) and Amp 2 (J13) β€’ Main DC input connection to Amp 1 (J12) and Amp 2 (J14) β€’ AC connections for both power supply 1 (TB1) and power supply 2 (TB2) β€’ EXT1 INT’K interlock connection (J6) β€’ REM CTLS remote control 15-pin D-shell connector (J5) β€’ CMBR DETR combiner metering and AMP1 and AMP 2 on/off control (J10) β€’ AMP1 SERIAL nine-pin connector (J1) β€’ AMP2 SERIAL nine-pin connector (J2) β€’ RS232 serial nine-pin connector (J4) β€’ ETHER RJ45 Ethernet connector (J3) β€’ AMP2 RF OUT SMA connector (J9) β€’ RF IN SMA connector (J7) β€’ AMP1 RF OUT SMA connector (J8) β€’ RF Detector Inputs FWD, RFL, REJ The MXi1002U Power Supply Chassis Assembly consists of a standard 19" rack mountable 5.25" (3RU) enclosure containing four high efficiency self cooled switching power supplies. Two of these are 3kW power supply which provides power to one of the amplifiers, there is no current sharing between power supplies. The second set of power supplies provide the +12V to run the control system and the fans. The chassis also contains the main user interface and overall system monitoring. The main controller mounted at the rear of the chassis reads the current consumption of each power supply using onboard current sensors. It also communicates with each amplifier serially through two serial ports mounted on the board. Also mounted on the main controller is a 2 way splitter that takes the RF IN from the upconverter and splits it so it can be sent to each amplifier. The touch LCD on the front panel provides the user with status and telemetry information from each amplifier as well as over all metering information from the combined amplifiers. This information is gathered from the main controller though the serial communications with each. Mounted on the rear panel above the main control is a diode detector which takes RF signals for Forward, Reflected and Reject power and converts them to DC levels to be read by the main controller. The chassis is wired according to the functional diagram 41D2372S3 and S4 as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
