1. Introduction
This manual describes the PJ5KPS, a solid-state RF amplifier designed for
frequency modulation sound broadcasting, manufactured by R.V.R. Elettronica.
The PJ5KPS amplifier constitutes the end power section for FM transmitters fitted
with different possible configurations. A control system for the exciters is built into
the machine so that in order to have a system with redundant exciters, all that
needs to be done is to include two exciters in the transmitter such as, for example,
the PTX30LCD exciters made by R.V.R. Elettronica.
The manual is structured as follows:
•Chapter 1: Presentation of the manual
•Chapter 2: Warranty conditions
•Chapter 3: Safety recommendations
•Chapter 4: Description of the machine and its operating principles
•Chapter 5: Guide for installation and use
•Chapter 6: Most frequent troubleshooting cases on starting up the machine
•Chapter 7: In-depth description of the operation of the modules of the apparatus.
This chapter also contains the description of the pin configuration of the
connectors and explains how to use the control unit menus, item by item.
•Chapter 8: technical notes.
•Appendix: It contains all the design details (wiring diagrams, assembly plans,
etc.) of the PJ5KPS.
