AUTV/1500LD
LDMOS - UHF TV AMPLIFIER
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The AUTV/1500LD is an amplifier operating into Band IV-V for common amplification process of the Vision
and Sound carriers.
The amplifier has been designed to offer to the customer high performances, high reliability and greater
simplicity in his operation and maintenance procedures.
The amplifiers modules employ all solid state LDMOS technology in order to obtain high gain, wideband performances, very good linearity, reliability and high efficiency.
The equipment design allows the soft degradation (RF power loss) for several transistor faulty: in fact the
output combiner uses RF power resistors for unbalancing power dissipation. The unit is enclosed in a cabinet
for 19- 6U rackmounting.

2.1 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
You can install the apparatus in a standard component rack or on a suitable surface such as a bench or desk.
In any case, the area should be as clean and well-ventilated as possible. Always allow for at least 2 cm of
clearance under the unit for ventilation. If you set the apparatus on a flat surface, install spacers on the bottom
cover plate. If you install the apparatus in a rack, provide adequate clearance above and below. Do not locate
the apparatus directly above a hot piece of equipment.
2.2 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Correct installation of the equipment is important for maximum performance and reliability. Antenna and earth
connections must be installed with the greatest care. The equipment adjustment isnt need, because the unit is
completely adjusted by our technical staff. This is the installation procedure:
1. connect the power supply cable of the exciter to the auxiliary socket on the rear panel of the amplifier;
2. connect the power supply cable of the amplifier to the electric network (230VAC). If there is the Isolator
Transformer, the amplifier is provided with cable and plug;
3. connect the exciter / antenna cables respectively to the RF IN and RF OUT on the rear panel of the
amplifier.
WARNING!!!
FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY REASONS AND IN ORDER TO KEEP
THE APPARATUS SAFE, THE GROUND TERMINAL OF THE
APPARATUS MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE EXISTING GROUNDING SYSTEM AND NOT BY USING THE SHIELD OF THE OUTPUT
COAXIAL CABLE.

When the apparatus is put within a combined system it is directly connected to the input splitting and output
combining systems.
Before fully powering the apparatus, check that the output connections of the coaxial cable to the antenna
system are working.
In order to this it is possible to check the indication of the reflected power at low power levels. Only if the
SWR indication on the display is 0, the output power can be slowly increased. At maximum output power,
some watts might be shown as reflected power.

2.5 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
To ensure maximum performance and minimum repair trouble, we strongly recommend you to follow the
below stated headlines for preventive maintenance:
1. check antenna installation and ground connection at regular intervals;
2. keep your apparatus clean and dry externally: this will ensure continuous functioning of the front panel
controls;
3. if the apparatus has not been used for a long period of time combined with exposure to extreme environmental conditions, open the unit and make a visual inspection.
Remove salt, water or ice with a moist cloth before turning the apparatus on. Check that the cooling fans are
running freely.
4. for general maintenance and top performance, call an authorized service technician to give the apparatus
and the complete antenna/earth connection installation a general check every 12-18 months;
5. check at regular intervals that the air intake located on the front panel is free of dust. If there is visible dust,
remove it by means of a soft brush.
