SAFETY WARNING TO PREVENT ELECTROCUTION ALWAYS BE AWARE OF NEARBY ELECTRICAL POWER WIRING AND MOUNT THE ANTENNA FAR ENOUGH AWAY SUCH THAT IF THE ANTENNA FELL DOWN, THERE WOULD BE NO CHANCE OF CONTACT. Before starting your installation, consider the following carefully: • Is the chosen frequency clear? • Are there nearby obstructions such as buildings, trees and power lines etc? • Where are you going to mount the transmitter? • Where are you going to ground it? • What range are you expecting to get? For a successful installation, follow these steps... PROCASTER AMTX100 AM Transmitter Installation and Operation Page 2 of 9 Step 1. Choose a Quiet Channel Drive around your chosen broadcast area and listen for clear channels. Note: car radios are usually more sensitive than portables, so that should be considered too. If you want to broadcast at night, you would have to check if the channel is clear then. It's more difficult to broadcast at night because changes in the ionosphere cause signals from higher-powered radio stations to reach your broadcast area; so bear that in mind. Try to choose one of the highest 42 channels available for the PROCASTER™ by setting the option switches accordingly. The higher the frequency, the better the range because of the restrictive short antenna length. Step 2. Install Location Higher mounted antennas usually result in better range. The PROCASTER™ mounting bracket is intended for mounting on a flat vertical surface. Optional kit # XXXXX allows pole mounting. Make sure you can access the transmitter for tuning once it is in its final position. A good height above earth ground is about 25 feet. The roof of a 2-storey building is a good choice. Step 3. Assemble Antenna Three aluminum tubes (large 5/8", medium 1/2" and small 3/8") are assembled together to form a 103 inch antenna. These sections are held together using 2 stainless steel pipe clamps. • Join the large tube to the medium tube o slide a pipe clamp over the mid-point of the slotted end of the large tube o insert the medium tube into the large tube lining up the black dot o tighten pipe clamp snugly using a 1/4" nut driver • Join the small tube to the medium tube o slide a pipe clamp over the mid-point of the slotted end of the medium tube o insert the small tube into the medium tube lining up the black dot o tighten pipe clamp snugly using a 1/4" nut driver • Fasten the assembled mast to the transmitter using (2) #10 lock-washers and (2) locknuts - refer to E o Use a screwdriver to prevent the bolt from turning while tightening the nuts - refer to F o Tighten snugly (don't over-tighten) • Antenna assembly is now complete (antenna assembly pics) Step 4. Mount External Transmitter In all mounting cases, ensure you can reach the unit for tuning once installed! Direct wall mounting Mount the PROCASTER™ directly to a flat vertical surface using the 4 holes in the case mounting plate. Make sure that there is sufficient space between the antenna mast and the rear wall such that snow/ice does not cause a short. (direct on wall) PROCASTER AMTX100 AM Transmitter Installation and Operation Page 3 of 9 Direct wall mounting with standoff brackets Use Radio Shack 4 inch Antenna Mast Wall Mount kit catalog # 15-883 to hold the PROCASTER™ further away from the wall. (direct on wall with brackets) Pole mounting For pole mounting use a pair of 2 inch spacing U-bolts with formed curved backing plates – like the ones in the following picture. The backing plate prevents the case mounting areas from bending when tightening onto the pole and makes for a more secure installation. (pole mounting) Step 5. Install Ground Connect the copper grounding lug shown below to a suitable ground. (grounding lug) Good grounding is extremely important for optimum antenna performance and is required for safe operation of the lightning protection circuitry. Typical grounds include: • Copper clad steel grounding rod at least 8 ft into earth ground • Water pipe ground • Radial ground system • Metal roof Warning: FCC rules (47 part 15.219) state:” the total length of the transmission line, antenna and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed 3 meters.” [3 meters = 118 inches] The PROCASTER™ has an attached 103 inch antenna measured from its tip to the lower mounting bolt which is the connection of the transmitter output. It has no transmission line. A 15 inch maximum ground lead is allowed from the grounding lug to a massive ground. Step 6. Connect Power and Audio Wiring The PROCASTER™ connects to the studio interface with 4 conductor CAT3 wire. Because the audio is balanced and the power consumption is low, several hundred feet of wire can be used without issue. Proceed as follows: • Open the PROCASTER™ cover by loosening the 3 cover clamps • Insert 4 conductor CAT3 wire through liquid-tight grommet on the underside • Connect: o RED: +12V o GREEN: 0V o YELLOW: AUD + PROCASTER AMTX100 AM Transmitter Installation and Operation Page 4 of 9 o BLACK: AUD - • Tighten nut on liquid-tight grommet (wiring pic) Step 7. Connect to indoor Studio Interface Module Bring the 4 conductor CAT3 cable into the studio area. Proceed as follows: • Remove the 4 rubber feet from the studio interface enclosure • Slide off the cover • Pass the 4 conductor CAT3 cable through the rear bushing • Connect: o RED: +12V o GREEN: 0V o YELLOW: AUD + o BLACK: AUD - (rear of studio interface) Step 8. Connect an audio source The PROCASTER™ is fitted with a universal 3.5mm stereo input jack similar to I-pod™ and modern car audio equipment. It has been designed to accept stereo left and right audio channe…
