FM10000 User’s Manual
These steps summarize the operating procedures you should use for the initial
operation of the power amplifier and power supply. More detailed information
follows.
1.Ensure that the external remote control unit is properly connected to the
transmitter controller port A (see illustration 2-
15, Section 2.5, page 2–5
for proper pin configuration).
2.Connect Antenna
feed-line to the output of the Low Pass Filter.
3.1 Initial Power-up Procedures
3. Locate the Remote/Local switch and select "Local". Verify the Local Enable
switch is in the "0" position (indicating OFF) and that the enable LED is OFF.
4. Locate the Exciter (Crown FM250) and be certain that the Power and Carrier
switches are ON as well as the breaker on the back of the unit. Refer to Low
Power Manual FM30 - FM500 for further instructions.
5. Locate Fwd/Refl power select switch and verify it is in Fwd position. The
Green LED will indicate the proper position once power is ON.
6. Apply AC power to cabinet.
7. Adjust the RF output power on the exciter (Crown FM250) for 250 - 275 watts.
SPECIAL NOTE : This system is not a drive dependent amplifier design;
therefore drive level must remain constant regardless of main output level. Use
remote control to raise and lower RF output power, not the RF output level of the
driver.
Note: The FM10000 is set for 10000 watts at 98MHz at the factory unless a
specific frequency or power is specified at the time of order.
8. Enable the RF power by moving the "Local Enable" to the 'up' position. This
should be indicated with a RED LED below the switch.
