1 General information
General information
1.1 Intended use
The equipment referred to in this manual is solid state transmitters with adjustable
output power from 0W to a maximum rated value (see Section “Series models”), to be
used in the whole FM band between 87.5 and 108 MHz, in 10 kHz steps.
With this product, Elenos has achieved its aim of obtaining high values of power
in just 4 rack units.
The transmitter is also a starting point for developing a new concept of scalabili-
ty.
The RF performance, obtained with 7, 5 or 4 amplifier modules, is close to the highest
target physically possible by the devices and current technology, in terms of efficiency.
This enables a drastic reduction in the electrical operating costs.
The distinctive characteristics of Elenos products remain constant: ECOSAVING, ICEFET,
VSWR PEAK HOLD, monitoring possibility, protection against corrosion, etc.
The available options STEREO or AES/EBU (both with integrated MPX).
The LIFEXTENDER functionality can be added.
1.2 Transport
The equipment must only be transported in its original packaging. However, although it
has been designed to prevent the machine being damaged,
even in the event of incorrect manoeuvres, it is recommended to respect the “HIGH/
LOW” direction and not to subject it to impact.
Ensure that the transport and lifting equipment are suitable for supporting the load.
1.3 Unpacking
The personnel in charge of handling the load must use protective gloves and accident-
prevention footwear.
Before lifting or moving the equipment or any of its parts, check that the operating area
has been cleared, also considering a safe area in order to prevent damage to people
and/or properties that could be within the manoeuvring radius.
1.4 Storage
Should it be necessary to store the equipment for any reason, it is necessary that:
• in the storage area, the temperature is between -20° and +55°C, with humidity of
no more than 90% at 55°C;
• the equipment is disconnected from energy sources;
• the equipment is clean and there are no dust deposits;
• the equipment is covered with a waterproof sheet.

10 General information
1.5 Decommissioning and disposal
For all the aspects regarding the disposal of the product, please refer to the specific
European Directives.
Please note that the equipment DOES NOT CONTAIN POLLUTANT OILS.
1.6 Checking the product purchased
Before installing the equipment, it is important to check that it was not damaged du-
ring transport or storage. Check that all standard components and accessories ordered
have been delivered correctly, otherwise contact Elenos s.r.l .
In this case, the package must contain at least the following:
• n°1 piece of equipment from the ETG5200, ETG3500 or ETG2500 series;
• n°1 “Identification and Quick Start” manual, which we recommend keeping with
the product;
It may also contain:
• n°1 “User” manual;
• n°1 CD containing all the documentation relative to Elenos s.r.l. manuals;
• n°1 PC connection cable.
Cables, spare parts and other accessories may be requested from Elenos S.r.l. or Elenos
retailers.

This connector uses Com1, as the connector n. 13 (rear). The two connectors can’t be
used simultaneously.

2.1.2 LEFT/RIGHT connectors
N. 5 Rear panel (XLR type - female)
The input impedance is 10 kOhm (default), 600 ohm selectable with jumpers on the
card.
If you have an unbalanced signal, connect the signal at the positive, the common
ground and the negative input to ground (optional if Zin = 10 kOhm, required if Zin =
600 ohms).

The input signal on the connector is in parallel, inside the card, to the signal L + right
channel. For the correct operation (Zin = 10 kOhm) requires that the jumper on the bo-
ard, to select the impedance of 600 ohms on the right channel is removed (the jumper
is not present by default).

2.1.7 TC/TS connector
N. 10 Rear panel (DB25 type - female)
Signals compatible with standard IEC 60864-1.
As reported here applies both to the signals TC/TS that for the signals PROFILES.
• Digital I/O
• Polarity N
• Maximum voltage range: 0 to +30 V
• Operating voltage: between +0.5 and +5 .. +24 V
• Input Current : 5mA (controlled in parallel)
• Output current : 50mA max. Of the open drain type, can be connected in parallel
(or wired, with the exception of the fault signal that is reversed polarity). Can drive
inductive loads, in which case it is recommended to clamp diode in parallel with
the load (cathode power supply).
• The inputs are supplied on board (pull up = 1 kOhm, +5 V) with EMI filter series and
diode. This allows the command in parallel. Are considered active when they are
shorted to ground (active between 0 and +0.5 V). Are considered inactive if open or
input voltage> = +4 V. Some are for command to state, for other command pulse,
the pulse duration must be> = 0.5 seconds.
• The output signal is active (mos) with the circuit breaker closed. One exception is
the default output, which is reversed polarity to ensure the signaling in the absence
of power. The parallel connection of multiple fault lines does not cause electrical
problems, but the primary message is meaningless.
• The analog outputs are between 0 and +4.5 V, Z = 470 ohms. Are protected against
short circuit to ground or the voltage fed up to a maximum of +5 V.
