PTRLNV/4 & RXRLNV/4
ELETTRONICA
The PTRLNV/4 is available with internal stereo coder which can guarantee an
optimum stereophonic separation as well as a low level of harmonic distorsion. In
functionofyourownrequirementsitcanbeconguratedforthefunctioningunder
the Mono/MPX mode (that is to say when excluding the stereo coder and when
using the “left” inputs as a “mono” input or the BNC, which is always on, as “MPX”).
Thecongurationcanbedonebytheuserwiththehelpofsoftware.Ithasalso
two inputs (SCA1 and SCA2) for signals which are modulated on sub-carriers by
appropriated external coders, normally used in Europe for the RDS transmission
(Radio Data System).
In the standard version of the RXRLNV/4, the demodulated signal is available
in the MPX form (that is to say the complete basis signal band) and in the mono
version.
Moreover there are two connectors used for the respective SCA outputs. As an
option, the RXRLNV/4 can be equipped with a stereo decoder option. Also when
this option is present, apart from the outputs for the LEFT and RIGHT channels,
the outputs for the MPX signal are present and for the possible sub-carriers.
The important audio characteristics of this equipment are the low distorsion and
intermodulation values and the high S/N level; another important quality both of the
PTRLNV/4 and the RXRLNV/4 is its very simple construction and its easy use.
Both the PTRLNV/4 and the RXRLNV/4 were designed in a modular way: the
different functions are executed by modules connected directly with male and
femaleconnectorsorwithatcableswithconnectorsatbothends.Thistypeof
design makes the maintenance and the possible replacement of modules an easy
operation.
The microprocessor system includes an LCD display and an encoder that enable
the interaction with the user, and implements the following functions for the
transmitter:
•Display of the modulation
•Setting of the output power
•Setting of the working frequency
• Power Good feature (User-selectable output power alarm threshold).
•Measurement and display of the working parameters of the transmitter
These functions are implemented for the receiver:
•Display of the modulation
•Setting of the working frequency
•Setting of the muting threshold
•Measurement and display of the working parameters of the receiver
The system of the management software is composed of several menus.

The user can navigate between the different submenus by using the knob.
The status of the unit is indicated by four LEDs which are present on the front
pannel:
•ON, LOCK, FOLDBACK, RF OFF for the PTRLNV/4.
•ON, LOCK, PILOT, MUTE for the RXRLNV/4.
Both the transmitter and the receiver have an input for the external 24 Vcc supply.
This auxiliary supply source, that can be realized by the user with the help of rescue
batteries, is automatically used in case of AC voltage absence.

5. PTRLNV/4 quick guide for installation and use
This chapter contains the necessary instructions for the installation and use of the
equipment. In case some aspects are not totally clear, for instance when a user
isusingthisequipmentforthersttime,weadvisethenewusertoreadcarefully
the entire description contained in this manual.
5.1 Preparation
Unpack the exciter and before doing any other operation, be sure it has not been
damaged during transport. In particular check that all the connectors are in perfect
condition.
The main fuse can be accessed from the outside on the rear panel. Extract the
fuse carrier with a screwdriver to check its integrity or for replacement, if necessary.
The fuse to be used is this type:
• MAIN FUSE 3.15 A 5x20
Check that the supply voltage value coincides with the AC voltage available.
Theinputsupplyeldisof:
• PTRLNV/4 80-260 VAC
Check that the PTRLNV/4 mains switche is in the “OFF” position, it is placed on
the front panel and inhibits the switching power supply of the machine.
Connect the RF output of the exciter to the antenna cable or to a dummy load able
to dissipate the power generated by the PTRLNV/4.
Note: in case the load is not present, don’t touch the RF output connector during
the equipment operation to avoid electric shock and electrocution.
Connect the mains cable to the proper standard IEC plug, placed on the rear
panel.
Note: It is necessary that the mains system being provided with grounding to
ensure both the operators’ safety and correct operation of the equipment.
If the user intends to use external batteries in case of AC supply interruption,
connect them to the clamps situated at the back of the equipment being careful
to respect the polarity.
WARNING: Keep in mind that the general switch of the transmitter has an effect
on the AC supply, and not on the possible auxiliary supply. If you use an external
supply with continuous current, it is then necessary to have an external switch for
this purpose.

PTRLNV/4 & RXRLNV/4
ELETTRONICA
Connect the audio cable and RDS/SCA of the signal source to the proper input
connectors of the PTRLNV/4.
5.2 Operation
Switch on the transmitter by putting the switch, located on the front panel, on the
position “I” (on) .
Enter the “General Setting Menu” and set the working frequency desired.
With the help of “Audio Setting Menu”, set the characteristics (impedance,
preenphasis, and possibly stereo/mono) and the levels of the audio inputs and
RDS (if used).
Note: by factory, it is delivery with the output power adjustment at minimum and
in the “OFF” position. It is however recommended that you always check the set
level before activating power supply.
Set the desired power level from the “Power Setting Menu”.
Activate the output power from the “General Setting Menu”.
5.2.1 Encoder
The interaction between the user and the transmitter control software is performed
using the ENCODER.
Turn the encoder counterclockwise
to move the cursor downwards, to
decrease the value of a parameter
or to choose an element from a list
of possibilities
Turn the encoder clockwise to move
the cursor upwards, to increase the
value of a parameter or to choose
an element from a list of possibili-
ties
Push the button once to enter in the
desired menu, twice to modify the
selected paramenter.
The operations that you can perform on the ENCODER are:
• Rotation: moves the cursor shown on the display; if you turn the ENCODER to
the left (counterclockwise), the cursor moves downwards, if you turn it right the
cursor moves upwards; it also permits to increase or diminish the parameters
(turning the ENCODER left diminishes the parameter.
• Pushing: push the button once when the cursor is on the name of a menu to
enter in that menu, push it when the corsor is on the name of a parameter to
enterinmodicationmode(thecursorstartsblinking);afterthemodicationof
a parameter, push the button to save the new value.
