Its broadband “no-tune” design allows 87.5-108 Mhz operation from internal direct reading rotary switches or the front panel LCD frequen- cy control system if enabled. Digital PWM techniques provide an easily adjustable and accurate automatic level controlled R.F. output of the Mos-Fet power amplifier stage. R.F., Audio and other parameters are shown on the LCD graphics display. This display offers a very easy method of transmitter parameter monitoring and a new level of ease for setup and installation, with metering accuracy nor- mally only found on expensive test equipment. Local and remote personal computer control and metering are achievable via the innovative dual method RS232 interface. The FM modulator section employs a dual speed “virtual VFO” system for extremely low audio distortion and excellent stereo performance. A built in high specification stereo encoder provides crystal clear stereo sound and combined with the internal lim- iter a fully compliant “plug and play” all in one low power broadcast transmitter. For future compatibility all settings are switchable with on board jumpers. The stereo and/or limiter settings can be switched in and out to suit the requirements of any external broadcast equipment you may have now and in the future. The lightweight universal mains input design ensures a high reliability efficient design compatabile with any mains system in the world. TX FM Transmitter technical manual page 4 Introduction 1.2SAFETY MAINS VOLTAGE. This equipment operates from an AC power source of between 90 and 265 volts. There are hazardous voltages present internally. PLEASE OBSERVE CAUTION WITH THE COVER REMOVED. SWITCHED MODE POWER SUPPLY HAZARD Please note that the power supply units in this equipment is of the switched mode variety and have lethal voltages present internally. The switched mode supplies are universal input fully approved type. They are non serviceable modules and should be fully replaced should they fail. FUSES Only use fuses with the specified voltage and current ratings as stated on the back panel. Failure to do so may increase the risk of equipment failure, shock and fire hazard. R.F. The N type R.F. power output socket contains R.F. voltages which may burn or present a shock. Please make sure that the equipment is connected to an adequately rated load or antenna system while in opera- tion. TOXIC HAZARD This equipment includes R.F. components that may contain Beryllium oxide which is a highly toxic sub- stance that could be hazardous to health if inhaled or ingested. Care should be taken when replacing or discarding such devices. Seek expert advice from the manufacturer should you physically damage a device that contains Berillyium Oxide. The main R.F. output power transistor contains Beryllium oxide. OTHER SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Do not operate this equipment in the presence of flammable gases, fumes or liquids Do not expose this equipment to rain or water.
