3.1 Safety precautions

Users must also respect the safety precautions listed below:

• The electrical conﬁguration must not be modiﬁed. Upon receipt of the equipment, it’s essential to check if the mains is compatible with the order requirements. In case of non-compliance, please report it immediately to Elenos Srl.

• Protective devices must not be disconnected (with exception of their replacement), altered or modiﬁed without authorization.

• Check all safety equipments (e.g. block varistors, current limiters, circuit breakers, etc.) periodically and after a fault occurrence.

• To ensure the staff safety and protect the equipment against damages, it’s absolutely forbidden to use it while covers and/or protection panels aren’t completely installed. In addition, the grounding connection must always be of extremely high quality and in accordance with regulations in force. It is also forbidden to disconnect and/or alter the equipment’s protection systems.

• Before starting any operation, the equipment must be disconnected from the mains. Disconnection must be veriﬁed via visual inspection.

• The equipment must be powered exclusively by correct voltage. An incorrect power voltage may damage seriously the equipment and the staff who is working on it. The same information is shown on the product’s nameplate, which is generally placed on the housing. Never remove the nameplate, even if the equipment is resold.

• The equipment must be powered only by electrical systems which are compliant with the regulations in force.

• Further informations may be shown in speciﬁc labels placed on the equipment. They are about safety warnings to follow by anyone works on it. The lack of compliance with the rules here described exempts the manufacturer from any responsibility for any damages or accidents that may occur to staff or owners and puts all responsibility to the user himself.

• To ensure the equipment correct working, do not block the fan grills. Do not place the unit near heat sources, ﬂammable products, or in closed rooms with no ventilation.

• It is necessary to respect the general rules and ﬁre ﬁghting for the site that houses the equipment.

• Avoid any liquid contamination. Always disconnect the mains before making any cleaning. Don’t use liquid or spray cleaners.

• Some components contain TOXIC SUBSTANCES, such as BERYLLIUM OXIDE. Please be aware that some countries may apply rules for storing and disposing of hazardous materials.

• Following a visual check, if some component looks damaged, broken or detached, take the utmost care during the equipment manipulation by hands or other means.

Safety

17Safety

• Be sure that all people who use or maintain transmitters, in which one or more parts are under dangerous voltage, are able to perform artiﬁcial respiration and heart massage. All staff must be trained on how to provide medical ﬁrst aid in case of emergency. It’s strongly recommended to hang, in a visible place, an information poster with clear instructions on ﬁrst aid to save the people injured in an accident at work and how to provide ﬁrst aid kits the rooms where electrical devices are installed. It’s also recommended to prepare an action plan in order to ensure fast access to the service of a public or private emergency body, so that it’s easily available for all the people within the site.

3.2 First aid

This paragraph does NOT represent a complete guide on ﬁrst aid procedures, but should be understood rather as a brief reference summary. It must be made an urgent duty for all staff who work with the equipment to provide appropriate ﬁrst aid procedures, in order to prevent avoidable deaths.

3.2.1 Treatment of electrical burns

3.2.1.1 Extensive burns and skin cuts

• Cover the burned area with a clean sheet or cloth.

• Don’t break blisters, don’t remove the tissue, don’t remove particles adhered to clothing, or apply any ointment.

• Treat the victim in according to the kind of shock suffered.

• Arrange the transportation to an hospital as quickly as possible.

• If arms and legs are injured, keep them raised.

WARNING: If medical help is not available within one hour and the victim is conscious without gagging, give to drink salted water made of 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of baking soda for each 250 ml warm water. Let the victim slowly sip this solution, for about four times (half a glass every 15 minutes). Stop the operation if gagging occur. Avoid alcoholic beverages.

3.2.1.2 Less severe burns (1st and 2nd degree)

• On the burns, apply cool (not ice-cold) compress of gauze using the cleanest available cloth.

• Do not break blisters, don’t remove tissue, don’t remove particles adhered to clothing, or apply any ointment.

• If necessary, put on clean and dry clothes.

• Treat the victim in according to the kind of shock suffered.

• Arrange to transportation to an hospital as quickly as possible.

• If arms and legs are injured, keep them raised.

3.3 Workplace characteristics

3.3.1 Room characteristics

In order to work freely on the equipment and to be able to perform the relative installation or maintenance operations, it is necessary to keep a minimum distance from the walls on all sides of the machine.

The room must be equipped with an appropriate system of clean and dust-ﬁltered air ventilation with a ﬂow rate suitable for the characteristics of the equipment operating in the room itself.

The exhaust air discharged from the apparatus must be conveyed directly outside. If the length or size of the air duct is likely to introduce a signiﬁcant loss of air pressure it’s necessary to add an extraction device. The air duct outlet must be equipped with a protective device against the intrusion of insects or other animals. In additions, adequate precautionary measures should be applied against intrusion of liquids or other substances.

The equipment can operate properly if the temperature ranges si from -5°C to +45°C, with 95% RH non-condensing at +40°C.

3.3.2 Electrical system features

The mains installation must be set in accordance with the rules in force. The power supply network must allow an adequate power provision according to the rules in force in the country of installation about quality of the electrical energy supply service.

It’s strongly recommended to use a transformer or network separator and a reduction network for discharging high voltage.

Install a protected overload switch (circuit breaker or fuse) with proper electrical characteristics (breaking capacity and current value) according to the absorption of the equipment model.

Use cables of adequate sizes in respect to the rated current absorbed.

Grounding must be performed according to the rules in force. Special care must be taken for the grounding of the antenna system since it’s exposed to electrical atmospheric events. Never forget that, despite the grounding of the equipment frame and the whole antenna system, it’s always dangerous to operate on the equipment in case of bad weather with atmospheric discharge. In fact, in the event of high energy discharge (ﬂash), the equipment frame can instantly reach very dangerous voltage levels, due to the grounding connection inductance. For this reason, the equipment should be installed in rooms in which the staff can remain only for the time necessary for checks and repairs.

The IPF is an intelligent system which reduces the equipment’s output power in case of excess of load mismatch, thus preventing the equipment turning off� Foldback acts if the load mismatch increases slowly� If the event is fast (examples: a lighting into a connector, the detachment of a transmission line, a short circuit and so on), the protection acts quickly� The activation of this feature is shown on display and via telemetry as alarm no� “026”�

4.3.1.2 IPC (Intelligent Control Power)

When the equipment is working properly, the IPC keeps the output power constant within +/-1% of the target set, irrespective of mains voltage, temperature and load variations� This greatly contributes to making the equipment insensitive to its working conditions� The IPC also allows to optimize the RF section efﬁciency by making work the MOSFETs constantly at maximum efﬁciency, thus minimizing overall electrical consumption�

4.3.1.3 Safety Management (“Lifextender”option) ® The Safety Management consists of algorithms to perform real-time analysis of the transmitter’s operating status� It works in order to maintain the output power set, according to kind and severity of any anomalies (internal or environmental) which may occur� The Safety Management may perform an output power reduction proportional to the severity of the anomaly that occurs, in order to avoid the progression of the fault� The algorithms act at different levels and in various sections of the equipment: Thermal Management on the RF unit; Current Management, Fault Management and Thermal Management on the power supply units; Fault management on the RF unit; Cooling Management on the fans�

Thermal Management on the RF unit (Lifextender) ® When the temperature measured near to MOSFETs exceeds 72 °C, a ﬁrst level of derating works moderately trying to reduce the temperature via an output power decrease� This power reduction is the minimum allowed in order to reach a thermal balance at a temperature lower than 72 °C� This decreasing never exceeds 48% in ﬁrst derating level� Infact, the output power always remains above 52% of that set by the user so that the “-3 dB” warning and relative alarms don’t occur� This ﬁrst derating level is effective in virtually all cases� The activation of this feature is shown on the display and via telemetry as alarm no� “010”� If the ﬁrst derating level will be insufﬁcient (extremely rare cases), a second derating level starts, further reducing the power, thus obtaining a thermal balance status compatible with the safe operation of the equipment, even if the output power is below - 3dB (with subsequent alarm no� “005”)� If also the second derating level will be ineffective (in case of external conditions which are not compatible with the safe operation of the equipment), the transmitter is switched off� In this case, when the temperature decreases, the power increases proportionally� If it decreases by 10°C (i�e� it reaches 62 °C) the derating algorithm stops and the full power is restored� After ﬁve failed attempts, the logic control unit stops the equipment (alarm no� “003”)�

Current management on the power supply units (Lifextender) ® This is activated when the maximum current rated for continuous operation of the power supply is exceeded� This value is lower than deliverable current limit and represents the threshold which can be exceeded only for short periods (maximum 1 minute each time)� If this situation occurs, the “PSU current derating” function is activated (alarm “013” and, if necessary, alarm “014”) and the ALC management algorithm, running in correct working mode, is replaced by another one wherein the VDS and Bias are determined by the user settings� The current delivered by the power supply units has the highest priority in this case� The current derating is deactivated when the power delivered rises to the value set by the user if the maximum current provided by the power supply units is less than or equal to the maximum value allowed for continuous operation�

Thermal management on the power supply (Lifextender) ® The power supply management algorithm works according to the temperature like that on the RF unit and is logically connected in “OR” to it� The ﬁrst derating level (acting directly on the output power) is activated when the power supply temperature exceeds 75°C, while the second level is activated - when the ﬁrst is ineffective - if the temperature does not stabilize below this value� In the last case, the output power is decreased of – 3 dB via the same procedure described for the RF section� The activation of this feature is shown on the display and via telemetry as alarm no� “015” and possibly no� “016”�

Fault Management on the RF modules (Lifextender) ® It manages the maximum deliverable output power according to the number of correct working RF ampliﬁer modules� If one or more MOSFETs are considered faulty (this happens when their absorbtion is 10% below the average value), the RF output power is reduced to the expected value when occurs this kind of fault and the fans speed is pushed to the maximum rate� The fault cases and the corresponding maximum power reacheable levels are described by a complex table obtained via many tests� It is designed to stop the fault spreading and to prevent the MOSFETs that are still working from excessive stress by the ALC algorithm (which would require them to provide all the missing power output)� In order to avoid an excessive number of alarms, no messages are sent when an alarm, if validated, occurs after the adjusting of the output power according to the parameters in table, and only if the -3dB condition is present� The activation of this feature is shown on the display and via telemetry as alarms no� “008” and no� “009”�

Presentation

Cooling Management on the fan unit (Lifextender) ® In respect to the current cooling requirements, the fan speed rotation is adjusted from a minimum of 60% to a maximum of 120% approx� (these values may change according to the models of used fan)� The cooling demand evaluation is based on accurate measurements of the temperature close to each MOSFET and to the power supply units� The Cooling Management aims to: 1� extend the life of the fans; 2� minimize the quantity of dust which can be carried by the air ﬂow; 3� allow the safe operation of the equipment also under extreme temperature condi-

tions;

4� ensure that temperatures of mosfets and power supplies remain as stable as possible

to avoid thermal and mechanical stress; 5� reduce the energy consumption when a strong heat extraction is not needed� Without Lifextender, the fans always operate at 100%�

4.3.2 Hardware protections

The hardware protection system comprises:

• fast electronic and fuse protection for power supply units;

• fast electronic protection on the fan power supply;

• fast protection against excess reﬂected power (SWR/VSWR) following a strong load

mismatch� This protection is activated when the reﬂected power value exceeds 10% of the direct one�

The LifExtender can be requested as an option using the previous codes� To be speciﬁed in the order�
