PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. UTX5KW-A Operating and Service Manual VIII — ADJUSTMENTS AND TUNING VIII — ADJUSTMENTS AND TUNING The UTX5KW-A is basically an FCC Type Certified broadband transmitter with a few frequency selective sub-assemblies. A list of these sub-assemblies are listed below and followed by general instructions where applicable: A. MODULATOR/UPCONVERTER — Instructions for making adjustments to the modulator are included in the manufacturer’s instruction manual. B.
PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. UTX5KW-A Operating and Service Manual VIII — ADJUSTMENTS AND TUNING D. PHASE MATCHED CABLES: The cables used to connect the splitter to the PA Amplifier inputs and those provided to connect the PA Amplifiers to the combiner are phase matched. If a cable is damaged and needs to be replaced, additional cables are available from Pineapple Technology, Inc. The customer may manufacture additional cables, however the same coax type with the same connector types should be used.
PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. UTX5KW-A Operating and Service Manual IX — PROBLEM SOLVING/TROUBLE SHOOTING IX — PROBLEM SOLVING The UTX5KW-A is a complex assembly of Digital and Analog circuits and in many cases it is advisable to contact Pineapple Technology, Inc. for assistance. If it is necessary to perform field service on the transmitter, most parts are available from Pineapple Technology, Inc. for next day shipment. The failure analysis of the transmitter starts off with the following assumptions: A.
PINEAPPLE TECHNOLOGY, INC. UTX5KW-A Operating and Service Manual IX — PROBLEM SOLVING/TROUBLE SHOOTING FAN FAULT indications could mean that the PA blower has failed or there has been a loss of AC power to the fan. There is also a fuse located just inside of the front panel in case there is a locked rotor failure condition. To locate and check this fuse it is necessary to remove the MFA1KW from the rack so that the top cover can be removed. The fuse is behind the front panel near the fan.
