3 Installing the Transmitter Vibration damper 2,5 cm Figure 6: Mounted Transmitter Cabling the transmitter Please refer to chapter Connectors Transmitter on page 19 for a detailed description of the connectors. Figure 7: CT6540ARINC Connector Panel 5. Connect the antenna to the socket labelled “ANTENNA” 6.
3 Installing the Transmitter 7. Connect available video source to the BNC sockets labelled “CVBS 8. Connect all available audio sources to the connector labelled “AUDIO” 9. Connect optional devices to the output labelled “ASI out” if necessary 10. Connect other devices to the sockets labelled “COM” and “ARINC” if necessary Note The ports “COM” and “ARINC” are subject of customised applications. Please refer to separate instructions.
4 Dismounting the Transmitter Before connecting the 28V DC power supply cable, ensure all other equipment, esp. the antenna, is connected. 4 Dismounting the Transmitter Before you start dismounting the system make sure it is powered down. Confirm that the power switch on the control panel is shifted to position “OFF”. Unplugging all cables 1. Unplug the power cables of the transmitter and the control panel first 2. Unplug all remaining cables Remove the components 3.
5 Controlling the System 5 3.2 Mounting Instructions Controlling the System The whole system is controlled through the control panel located in the cockpit. There are two types of control panels available. One version controls the antenna actuator, the other does not. Figure 10: Control panel with actuator switch Figure 11: Control panel without actuator switch INBUILT DISPLAY The inbuilt display show different configuration parameters, the current transmitter state, or alarm messages.
3.2 Mounting Instructions 5 Controlling the System 4. Press the rotary knob for approximately two seconds to select the loaded configuration Note If you press the rotary knob short the transmitter discards your selection. Note If you change the scrambling mode of a preset this is only stored temporarily. For permanent activation resp. deactivation of scrambling use a computer and the configuration software. Power amplifier level 1.
5 Controlling the System 3.2 Mounting Instructions RF POWER BUTTON Power on the power amplifier When the power amplifier is turned off push the button labelled “RF” to switch on the power amplifier of the transmitter. The display lights green. Power off the power amplifier When the power amplifier is turned on push the button labelled “RF” to switch on the power amplifier of the transmitter. The display lights orange.
3.2 Mounting Instructions 5 Controlling the System PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER The connector labelled “REMOTE” on the control panel is used to connect a computer through a special cable. The transmitter is pre-configured by BMS. In case that you desire to modify the settings of the transmitter please contact BMS customer service. ALARMS In case of malfunction those are indicated by the transmitter. “COM” alarm is shown when the communication between the transmitter and the control panel is missing.
