1 General information

1.1 Intended use

The equipment referred to in this manual is solid state transmitters with adjustable output power from 0W to a maximum rated value (see Section “Series models”), to be used in the whole FM band between 87.5 and 108 MHz, in 10 kHz steps. The design of such equipment is based on SCALABILITY: it envisages the reuse on different scale levels of resources used on a basic model (the E5000 ampliﬁer), so as to obtain higher transmission powers. The same technology, same user interfaces and same components within each module mean more economical spare part and repair management, more economical ope- rator training and experience which can be easily shared with others. The available options are as follows: STEREO, AES/EBU (both with integrated MPX), according to the relative modulator version. The distinctive characteristics of Elenos products remain constant: ECOSAVING, ICEFET, VSWR PEAK HOLD, monitoring possibility, protection against corrosion, etc.. The LIFEXTENDER functionality can be added.

1.2 Transport

The equipment must only be transported in its original packaging. However, although it has been designed to prevent the machine being damaged, even in the event of incorrect manoeuvres, it is recommended to respect the “HIGH/ LOW” direction and not to subject it to impact. Ensure that the transport and lifting equipment are suitable for supporting the load.

1.3 Unpacking

The personnel in charge of handling the load must use protective gloves and accidentprevention footwear. Before lifting or moving the equipment or any of its parts, check that the operating area has been cleared, also considering a safe area in order to prevent damage to people and/or properties that could be within the manoeuvring radius.

1.4 Storage

Should it be necessary to store the equipment for any reason, it is necessary that:

• in the storage area, the temperature is between -20° and +55°C, with humidity of no more than 90% at 55°C;

• the equipment is disconnected from energy sources;

• the equipment is clean and there are no dust deposits;

• the equipment is covered with a waterproof sheet.

2.9 Protections

The equipment has an integrated protection system both for the hardware and the software.

2.9.1 Software protections

2.9.1.1 IPF (Intelligent Proportional Foldback)

Mechanism which is activated on the control unit and works on each individual machine. The IPF is an intelligent system which reduces the equipment’s output power in the event of strong load mismatch, thus preventing the machine from turning off. The activation of this feature is shown on the display as alarm “026” for modulators and “030” for ampliﬁers.

2.9.1.2 IPC (Intelligent Power Control)

It is provided on the ampliﬁers in the system. When the equipment is working properly, the IPC keeps the ampliﬁer output power constant (and subsequently, the transmitter output power) within +/-1% of the target set, irrespective of mains voltage, temperature and load variations. The IPC also allows the RF section efﬁciency to be optimized by making the MOSFETs constantly work at maximum efﬁciency, thus minimizing overall electrical consumption.

2.9.1.3 Safety Management (“Lifextender” option) ® The Safety Management consists of algorithms which perform a real-time analysis of the transmitter’s operating status and operates in order to maintain the output power set, according to the type and severity of any errors (internal or environmental) that may occur. The Safety Management can control an output power reduction proportional to the severity of the error that arises. The algorithms act at different levels and in various sections of the equipment: Thermal Management on the RF unit, Thermal Management on Dummy Load, Current Management on the power supply unit, Thermal Management on the power supply unit, Fault management on the RF unit, Fault Management on the power supply unit, Cooling Management on the fan unit.

Thermal Management on the RF unit (Lifextender) ® It is provided on ampliﬁers and exciters. If the temperature measured in the vicinity of the MOSFETs exceeds 72 °C, a ﬁrst level of derating intervenes slightly in order to reduce the temperature through an output power reduction. The power reduction is the lowest possible that allows a thermal balance to be reached at a temperature of less than 72 °C. The output power reduction never exceeds 40% with this ﬁrst derating. In other words, the output power is always 60% higher than that set by the user, and the “- 3 dB” warning with corresponding alarm does not intervene. This ﬁrst derating level is effective in virtually all cases. The activation of this feature is shown on the display as alarm “010”. Should the ﬁrst level derating be insufﬁcient (extremely rare), a second level intervenes, further reducing the power, thus obtaining a thermal balance status which is compatible with the safe operation of the equipment even if it is below – 3 dB (with subsequent “005” alarm).

52 Product description

Page 53

If the second derating is ineffective (in case of external conditions which are not compatible with the safe operation of the equipment) the equipment switches off. In this case, if the temperature decreases, the power is raised again proportionally. If it decreases by 20°C the derating feature is exited and full power is restored. After 3 failed attempts, the control logic locks the equipment (alarm “011”).

Thermal Management on Dummy Load If the temperature measured in the vicinity of the Dummy Load exceeds 90°C, a ﬁrst level of derating intervenes slightly in order to reduce the temperature through an output power reduction. The power reduction is the lowest possible that allows a thermal balance to be reached at a temperature of less than 90 °C. The output power reduction never exceeds 40% with this ﬁrst derating. In other words. the output power is always 60% higher than that set by the user, and the “- 3 dB” signaling does not intervene. This ﬁrst derating level is effective in virtually all cases. If the ﬁrst level derating is insufﬁcient (extremely rare), a second level intervenes, further reducing the power, thus obtaining a thermal balance status which is compatible with the safe operation of the equipment even if it is below - 3dB (with subsequent corresponding alarm). If the second derating is ineffective (in case of external conditions which are not compatible with the safe operation of the equipment) the equipment switches off. Thermal derating has a 10°C hysteresis before it attempts to restore the normal operating conditions of the equipment. After 3 failed attempts, the control logic locks the equipment.

Current management on the power supply unit (Lifextender) ® It is provided on ampliﬁers and exciters. This is activated when the maximum current for continuous operation of the power supply is exceeded. This value is set below the deliverable current limit and constitutes the threshold which can be exceeded only for short periods (maximum 1 minute at a time). If this situation arises, the “PSU current derating” function is activated (alarm “013” and/or “014” relative to ampliﬁers and modulators) and the ALC management algorithm, envisaged for normal operating conditions, is replaced by another one wherein the VDS control and Bias is determined by the power set and, with even higher priority, by the current delivered by the power supply. The current derating condition is deactivated when the power delivered returns to the value set by the user and if the maximum current delivered by the power supply is less than or equal to the maximum value allowed for continuous operation.

Thermal management on the power supply unit (Lifextender) ® It is provided on ampliﬁers and exciters. The power supply management algorithm according to the temperature is the same as that on the RF unit, and it is logically connected in “OR” to the latter. 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 - if the ﬁrst is ineffective - if the temperature does not stabilize below this value. In the latter case, the output power is brought below – 3 dB with the same procedure as that described for the RF section. The activation of this feature is shown on the display as alarm “015” and /or”016” relative to ampliﬁers and modulators.

53Product description

Page 54

Fault management on RF modules (Lifextender) ® It is provided on ampliﬁers and exciters. This manages the maximum deliverable power according to the number of RF ampliﬁer modules considered to be operating correctly. If one or more MOSFETs are considered faulty (this happens when the absorbed current is 10% below the average value), the RF output power is reduced to the expected value when a fault occurs. The failure case report and the relative maximum power achievable is described in a complex table obtained through tests. It is designed to stop failure propagation and prevent excessive stress on the MOSFETs that still work due to the ALC feature (which would require them to deliver all the missing output power). In order to prevent a ridiculously high number of alarm SMSs, no messages are sent during this phase: the alarm SMS, if validated, is only sent after the adaptation procedure of the output power according to the table parameters and only if the -3dB condition occurs on the output power. The activation of this feature is shown on the display as alarms “008” and “009” relative to ampliﬁers and modulators.

Cooling Management on the fan unit (Lifextender) ® According to the actual cooling requirements, the rotation speed of the fans is adjusted from a minimum of 60% to a maximum of 120% approx. (these values may vary according to the models of fan used). The cooling requirement is estimated based on the accurate temperature measurements which are performed in correspondence with the RF MOSFETs and the power supply unit in the case of ampliﬁers and modulators and on the Dummy Load. The Cooling Management aims to extend the effective lifetime of the fans, minimize the quantity of dust that may be transported by the air ﬂow and allow the safe operation of the equipment also under extreme temperature conditions. Without the Lifextender the fans always work at 100%.

2.9.2 Hardware protections

The hardware protection system comprises:

• fast electronic and fuse protection of power supplies;

• 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 forward power;

• protection against splitter and combiner overheating through fans with a thermostat;

• designed based on redundancy so as to eliminate the “SINGLE-POINT-FAILURE”, that is any points which alone deﬁne an OFF-AIR situation;

• construction of metal parts in stainless steel and aluminium, treatment of the electronic boards with protective paint (tropicalization), closing off the most sensitive components to air ﬂow with special shields in order to provide protection against corrosion.

3.1.1.22 SWR foldback setting

Foldback activation.

Algoritmo foldback

The Elenos devices feature two different and independent protections which are activated when there is excess reﬂected power. The ﬁrst is a hardware threshold which operates when the reﬂected power exceeds 10% of the maximum rated output power of the transmitter in a very short space of time. In these conditions the transmitter switches off. The second is a software protection, called “foldback algorithm”. It is activated when the reﬂected power increase is slower (for example, when there is snow or ice on the antenna). In these conditions, the transmitter gradually reduces its output power until the reﬂected power threshold is exceeded, while the output power is gradually restored when the values go back to normal. If normal operating conditions continue for more than 60 seconds, the algorithm is inactive. The activation of this second protection is left to the user (from the SWR foldback setting screen).

3.1.2.10 System conﬁg 1

Setting and display screen. The alarm signal, caused by wrong output power, snaps by default at -3dB of target power and disappears when you reach the 2/3 of that. The “Min Level Fwr Pwr Fault” additional parameter, set here, acts in an AND condition with the standard algorithm: so, the alarm will snap when there is the ﬁrst between the two conditions “-3dB” and “Min Level Fwr Pwr Fault“, while will disappear when the highest value between ”2/3 Ptarget“ and ”Min Level Fwr Pwr Fault+typical step related to apparatus“ occurs. For stand-alone devices meant to set Min Level Fwr Pwr Fault to a value greater than3dB, while using lower values may have meaning in N+1 systems. By default Min Level Fwr Pwr Fault is set to the minimum value of power.

Setting and display screen.

As well as the standard power adjustment, it can also be set according to time slots in order to save energy.

In order to be able to set the power according to individual time slots, the ﬁeld “Target Power Mode” must be set to “CLOCKED”. Then, the various times of day can be matched with four different power percentage values (100%, 75%, 50% or 25% of the set power). After deﬁning the day of the week to be set (Target Power on day of) for each time of day, press the cursor to enter the setting bar, rotate it to deﬁne the percentage (nothing displayed corresponds to 25%, T1 corresponds to 50%, T2 corresponds to 75%, T3 corresponds to 100%) and press the cursor to conﬁrm. By setting the “Copy over next day” ﬁeld to “T”, the previous day setting is copied to the next day. By setting the “Reset at default” ﬁeld to “T”, the settings are reset to default, where the power is low at night and full during the day.

3.2 Alarms/events list

There is an “Alarm management” module. In order to check the alarm conditions, physical and logical digital inputs are used. The status of each input is sampled and the condition is then logically processed by a combinational network so as to establish whether the alarm or signalling is active. The minimum intervention time is 100ms. This module is repeatedly performed with the same priority as ALC management, so as to constantly monitor the alarm cause onset and therefore to intervene within the required time frame. A log stores the sequence of the last events generating alarms with the date and time of activation.
