About Installation
1. – The mains voltage must be kept between ±10% of its nominal value, unless
otherwise specified. If there are variations exceeding this tolerance, it will be
necessary to install a voltage stabilizer system within the station. If transient
over voltages due to electric motors or other devices of this sort connected to
the distribution line were present, or if the distribution line is exposed to
atmospheric electrical discharges, it must be indispensable the installation of
isolation transformers and gaseous dischargers before connecting any
equipment within the station.
2. - All equipments must be connected to the station ground system in order to
avoid damage, both for equipments and for maintenance personnel. It is
necessary to connect a differential automatic switch (lifesaver) at the station.
3. - Some equipments do not include interlock protection for open doors, covers
or connectors. In that case, these equipments must be kept in key–locked
places with access only to conveniently qualified personnel that are previously
advised about not opening doors, covers or connectors without disconnecting
the station mains switch before performing this job.
4. - Transmission equipments will NEVER be operated with an output power
higher than its nominal values, or with signals or input information different than
those specified in its individual characteristics.
5. - Ambient temperature inside the equipments' room will accomplish the
technical specifications of the equipments installed at the station lodge. In
absence of such specifications, maximum allowable temperatures will be from -
5 to +45ºC for television equipments, and from 0 to +40ºC for FM broadcast
equipments.
6. - In case of operation at abnormally high or extremely high temperatures
(over 30-40ºC), it is mandatory to install a forced cooling system that will keep
temperature below its upper limit. In case of operation at abnormally or
extremely low temperatures, it will be mandatory to install a thermostatic
controlled heating system for the equipment's room.
7. - The equipment’s surroundings and room must be free of dust and dirt.
Ambient relative humidity will be kept below equipment's extreme specifications.
In case of absence of this specification, allowable maximum will be 90% of
relative humidity non-condensing. Average relative humidity will be kept under
70% non-condensing.
8. - Every transmission equipment that can radiate some quantity of RF power
must be connected to a load or antenna system according to their individual
specifications before being energized.
9. - Maximum allowable VSWR in antenna systems both for TV or FM Radio
Broadcast operation of a given transmitter will be 1.25:1, unless otherwise
specified.
