2.1 Rack Mounting
The T856 transmitter and T857 exciter are designed for use in a standard 483mm rack
frame using a Tait T800 Series II guide. The guide is securely mounted to the rack frame
with front and rear retaining screws, and the T856/857 is secured into the guide with
two front panel mounting screws. Figure 2.1 shows a standard, double module guide
which can also be fitted with an optional backplane PCB to locate and mate the rear
D-range connector(s). For more information on available guide kits, refer to the T800
Ancillary Equipment Service Manual or your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer Service
Organisation.
A rear mounted N-type connector is used for RF output on the T856/857, while all DC,
audio and control connections are via the rear mounted D-range connector, D-range 1
(PL100). An additional rear D-range connector (T800-03-0000) can be fitted when
remote multichannel operation, or additional control or low frequency lines are
required (refer to Figure 2.2).
Rack Mounting Holes
Figure 2.1 T800-41-0002 Double Guide Kit
2.2 Rack Wiring
The D-range input and output connections are shown in Figure 2.3 and Figure 2.4.
Ensure that the cables are not subjected to any stresses due to tight bends or incorrect
lengths.
Make sure the RF coax cable to the N-type connector is free from sharp bends or twists.
If access to the rear of the rack frame is restricted, the cable should be long enough to
allow the chassis to be fully withdrawn from the guide.

2.3 Power Supply
If a power supply other than an appropriate Tait model is used, ensure that it is capable
of providing enough current to drive the T800 system and is also free from excessive
ripple or noise.
The system should be protected by the use of appropriately rated fuses in the power
supply.
Note:
It is particularly important when the prime power source is a battery that
fuses be employed in all supply lines.
2.4 Reverse Polarity & Overvoltage Protec tion
A crowbar diode is fitted to all T856 transmitters and T857 exciters for protection
against connection to a power supply of incorrect polarity. It also provides overvoltage
protection from voltage transients caused by lightning strikes.
Note:
A fuse must be fitted in the power supply line for the diode to provide effective protection.

T858/859 Installation
F3.1
Caution:
If you require continuous operation of the T858, leave the rack module
position immediately adjacent to the finned heatsink empty. There
should be adequate airflow over the fins at all times. Extra airflow can
be provided by fitting an auxiliary fan kit such as the T800-19-0010
(refer to the T800 Ancillary Equipment Service Manual or your nearest
Tait Dealer or Customer Service Organisation for more details).
The T858 and T859 PAs are designed
for use in a standard 483mm rack frame
using Tait T800 Series II guide rails.
The guide rails are securely mounted to
the rack frame with front and rear
retaining screws, and the PA is secured
into the guide with two (T858) or four
(T859) front panel mounting screws.
Figure 3.1 shows the standard, double
width guide designed for use with the
T859, while Figure 3.3 shows how the
PA can be latched in the extended position. For more information on available guide kits, refer to the T800
Ancillary Equipment Service Manual
or your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer
Service Organisation.

Note:
You will need appropriate extension leads if you wish to carry out any
adjustment procedures with the PA withdrawn from the rack in the latched
position. Alternatively, disconnect and withdraw the PA and reconnect it
behind the rack.
3.2 Rack Wiring
The D-range input and output connections are shown in Figure 3.4. Ensure that the
cables are not subjected to any stresses due to tight bends or incorrect lengths.
The PA rear panel has three connectors: a BNC for RF input (from an adjacent T857
exciter), an N-type for RF output and a D-range for all DC, audio and control connections (refer to Figure 3.2).

Make sure the RF coax cables to the N-type and BNC connectors are free from sharp

long enough to allow the chassis to be fully withdrawn from the guide.

3.3 Power Supply

of providing enough current to drive the T800 system and is also free from excessive

The system should be protected by the use of appropriately rated fuses in the power
supply.
Note:
Caution:
It is particularly important when the prime power source is a battery that
fuses be employed in all supply lines.
Connect the power supply directly to the PA, and not via connector
blocks. This will avoid overheating of connector blocks that are not of
the correct current rating.

A crowbar diode is fitted to all T858/859 PAs for protection against connection to a
power supply of incorrect polarity. It also provides overvoltage protection from voltage
