Upon receipt, check that the supply is compliant with the order specifications and if not, report it to ELENOS s.r.l. immediately.
The equipment is directly connected to the “building installation” Between the equipment and the “building connection” there is an interposed structure 16 • To ensure its correct operation do not cover the ventilation grids on the equipment. Do not place the equipment close to heat sources, flammable products or closed installations without appropriate ventilation. • All firefighting and safety rules for the room where the equipment is located must be carefully followed.
3.2 First aid This paragraph is NOT a comprehensive guide to first aid procedures; it is intended as a summary to be used as a reference. It is the duty of all staff using this device to perform 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 area with a clean sheet or cloth. • Do not break blisters, remove tissue, remove adhered particles of clothing, or apply any ointment.
fig.c1 fig.c2 C) Circulation (fig. c1): • check the pulse (fig. c1) • if absent, start cardiac massage (fig. c2) • compress the chest every 1.5 - 2 seconds • if a rescuer is present, perform 15 compressions in approximately 80 seconds, + 2 quick blows • if there are two rescuers, perform 5 compressions in approximately 60 seconds, + 1 quick blow (fig. c3) WARNING : Do not interrupt the rhythm of compressions when the second person is performing artificial respiration. fig.c3 3.2.2.
equipment model. Use cables of an appropriate size with respect to the rated absorbed current. Earth connection must be performed according to the applicable laws. Special care must be applied to the earth connection of the antenna system since it is exposed to electrical atmospheric events. Never forget that despite the earth connection of the equipment frame and the whole antenna system, it is always dangerous to operate on the equipment in the event of bad weather with atmospheric discharge.

5 Quick instructions for commissioning 5.1 Installation 1 If you have a rack, insert and attach the equipment into it (use the fixing holes on the side fins). If you don’t have a rack, please make sure that: • the equipment is located away from the room walls so that the installation and maintenance operations can be conveniently carried out; • the ventilation grids are not clogged; • the equipment is far from heat sources or flammable products; • the equipment is isolated from contact with liquids.
WARNING: the connection operations of the power supply cable to the equipment terminal boards must be performed with the cable UPLUGGED from the electrical mains or WITHOUT VOLTAGE exclusively. Should the operator require to disconnect the equipment from the mains, go backwards always disconnecting first the electrical plug and then removing the terminals from the terminal board. CONFIG.

4 Connect the equipment’s RF output to the antenna cable (to check the equipment’s performance it can be connected to a dummy load able to dissipate the power delivered by the equipment). WARNING: Before connecting the Antenna System Cable to the Elenos transmitter, please make sure that the cable, connectors and antenna are grounded according to manufacturers recommendations.
5.2 Factory settings The equipment comes with the following default factory settings. If they correspond to your requirements, just put the machine in RF ON. Should you need to change the parameters, please refer to paragraph “Main parameter setup”. ETG EQUIPMENT VERSION FACTORY SETTINGS With Stereo Coder board (it works With Stereo Coder boin MPX,Stereo,Mono modes) ard + AES/EBU (it works in MPX,Stereo,Mono,AES/ EBU modes) Output power (TRG) Maximum value Maximum value Frequency 98.000 MHz 98.
5.3 Main parameter setup To set the parameters from the display the equipment must be in LOCAL mode. It is also possible to partially view the menus in REMOTE mode, provided that the parameter “SHOW D. : ALWAYS” is present (for details, refer to the paragraph “User interface” on the “System config.” screen). To switch from LOCAL to REMOTE mode rotate the supplied key on the selector. In LOCAL mode, the blue led turns on and the screen “TX control panel” is automatically displayed.
9 5.3.1 Frequency setup In the “TX control panel” screen, rotate the encoder until it selects the frequency set. Press once to enter the adjustment mask. The frequency range is now selected and can be modified: rotate the encoder clockwise/anticlockwise to increase/decrease the value respectively. Press the encoder to confirm. The dialog box will indicate the new operating frequency set.
10 5.3.2 Power setup In the “TX control panel” screen, rotate the encoder until it selects the power set. Press once to enter the adjustment mask. The power field is now selected and can be edited: rotate the encoder clockwise/anticlockwise to increase/decrease the value respectively. Press the encoder to confirm. The dialog box will indicate the new operating power set.
11 5.3.3 Audio signal setup According to the type of audio signal used to modulate, select the relative input. In the “TX control panel” screen, rotate the encoder until it selects the fifth tab of the horizontal menu. Press once to make the field editable. Then, rotate the encoder to view the available options: 5.3.3.1 MUTE Mode which mutes all inputs. It is usually used during technical interventions. 5.3.3.

12 5.3.4 Audio level setup In the “TX control panel” screen, rotate the encoder until it selects the audio level set. Press once to make the field editable. Rotate the encoder until the amplifier is at the minimum level ( - 15dB). Apply the audio signal. Slowly increase the gain until the Vu-Meters reach 0dB level in accordance with the audio signal peaks. Confirm the value by pressing the encoder.
13 5.3.5 Start-up In the “TX control panel” screen, rotate the encoder until it selects the second tab of the horizontal menu to turn it on. Press the encoder until the RFON message appears. In LOCAL mode the following must occur to have a compliant situation: • The 4 warning lights (ITLK, -3dB, CLIP, NOAU) must be off; • The frequency set must be the desired one; • The direct power must be the desired one; • The reflected power must be null or low level; • The Vu-Meters must be set to 0dB.
