Safety
All ELENOS s.r.l products are compliant with the safety standards required for this type of equipment. 2.1 Safety precautions The user must follow also the safety precautions listed below: D The original configuration of the equipment must absolutely not be modified. On receipt of the same equipment it is essential to check whether the supply is compliant with the order’s specific terms and in case of nonconformities please report it immediately Elenos Srl.
The equipment is directly connected to the “building installation” Between the equipment and the “building connection” there is an interposed structure D To ensure a correct use of the equipment do not obstruct the ventilation grids. Do not put the equipment close to heat sources, flammable products, or inside closed installations lacking of a proper air circulation. D It is required to observe general and firefighting rules for the place hosting the equipment.
2.2 First aid This paragraph does NOT represent a complete guide about first aid procedures, it is rather intended as a brief summary to be used as a reference. It must be in fact an impelling duty for all the personnel operating with this equipment to be capable of performing appropriate first aid procedures in order to prevent avoidable deaths. 2.2.1 Treatment of electrical burns 2.2.1.1 Extensive burns and skin cuts D Cover the area with a clean sheet or cloth.
fig.c1 fig.c2 C) Circulation (fig. c1): D check the victim’s pulse (fig. c1) D if absent, start cardiac massage (fig. c2) D compress the chest every 1.5 − 2 seconds D if a rescuer is present, perform 15 compressions in approximately 80 seconds, + 2 quick blows D 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 2.2.2.
Provide a protected under load disconnector (circuit breaker or fuses) with appropriate disconnection power and capacity according to the absorption characteristics of the 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.
2.4 Exposure evaluation Exposure assessment requires the identification of electric field values in places where the presence of people may occur. The field values must refer to the type of stay and the exposed subjects, according to the provisions of current legislation. The identification of the electric field values can be carried out in various ways, depen ding on the need for precision and the fact that one intends to perform a prediction, or a subsequent verification.
In the specific case of broadcasting plants for sound and television broadcasting, the following recurrent characteristics can be found: a. the source is not isotropic, so the ERP should be calculated in the direction of the evaluation point b.

4.3 Safeness algorithms The apparatus is provided with a hardware and software protective system which is partly integrated and partly optional. 4.3.1 Software’s protections 4.3.1.1 IPF (Intelligent Proportional Foldback) The IPF is an intelligent system which reduces the equipment’s output power in case of excess of load mismatch, thus preventing the equipment turning off. Foldback acts if the load mismatch increases slowly.
Current Management on the power supply (Lifextender)R This is activated when the maximum current rated for continuous operation of the power supply is exceeded. This value is lower than deliverable current limit and represents the threshold which can be exceeded only for short periods (maximum 1 minute each time).

6.2 Alarms/Warnings/Status list A task called “Alarms Managing” monitors all physical and logical quantities. Each of them is sampled and processed by a combinatorial network to evaluate if an alarm (or a warning) must be activated. This task and the ALC management have the same high priority for having a constant monitoring of the entire apparatus and intervene quickly. The last alarms occurred are stored in a list with the time and date of the occurrence.
List of events that may be reported by the equipment. They are of 3 kinds: “STATUS” = possible statuses of the machine; “WARNING” = reports not requiring immediate technical intervention; “ALARM” = faults requiring repair. Some may be different depending on equipment (see brackets in “Message”). Event Code Description 000 CORRECT WORKING No error. The apparatus is working correctly. The event “019 ON AIR” has a higher priority. 001 SYSTEM RESET The list of occurred alarms is under deleting process.
Event Code Message Description 023 PSU LOW POWER One or more PSU are in thermal derating so that the RF output power is reduced. 024 PSU RF OFF The RF section has been turned off so that the fans can quickly cool the apparatus. 025 026 027 028 029 WORKING MODE COMBINED SWR FOLDBACK UNLOCK EXCITER COMM ERROR NO AUDIO 030 OVER 2/3 CARRIER 031 FAN 1 ERROR 032 033 OVER MODULATION FAN 2 ERROR The apparatus works in a combined Tx.
