About safety
All Nautel transmitters are designed to meet the requirements of EN60215, Safety Requirements for
Radio Transmitters.
The philosophy of EN60215 is that the removal of any cover or panel that can only be opened using
a tool is a maintenance activity, and that any person performing a maintenance activity is expected to
be trained for that activity. Under EN60215, it is assumed that trained personnel will be
knowledgeable and will take precautions such as removing all power to the transmitter before
accessing its components.
Electrical hazards
To remove power from the transmitter, switch off and lock out the ac power. There are three amber
LEDs at the bottom rear of the cabinet that glow to remind anyone who has not turned off the
power that the system is live and serious danger is present.
Mount the transmitter ac power disconnect switch/breaker close to the transmitter so that it can be
reached quickly in an emergency. Clearly label the disconnect switch/breaker (e.g., EMERGENCY
SWITCH).
After turning off the power, always perform a measurement to confirm that the power is off before
touching anything within the transmitter. If the wrong breaker was opened, the equipment will be
live.
Use only a non-contact voltage probe or a safety voltmeter (available from vendors such as Fluke,
Ideal, and Teagam).
Use a proper lockout procedure to ensure that another worker cannot accidentally reapply power
while you are performing maintenance on any part of the transmitter or site.
Lightning hazards
Before opening the transmitter and touching internal parts, remove and solidly ground the antenna
connection.
RF hazards
A serious RF hazard and very high voltages exist in the vicinity of the antenna and its networks
during normal operations.
Toxic hazards
There are devices used in this equipment containing beryllium oxide ceramic, which is non-hazardous
during normal device operation and under normal device failure conditions. These devices are
specifically identified with “(BeO)” in the Description column of the Troubleshooting Manual’s parts
list(s).
Do not cut, crush or grind devices because the resulting dust may be hazardous if inhaled.
Unserviceable devices should be disposed of as harmful waste.
Other hazards
Ensure that appropriate fire alarms and fire extinguishers are available. Extinguishers must be suitable
for use on electrical fires.
Many other site safety risks exist. It is beyond the scope of this manual to identify all the risks and
procedures.
Safety precautions
This section provides very important information about protecting the safety of personnel and
equipment:
Personal safety
Training
The training of any personnel who will have physical access to the site or the transmitter is very
important. Personnel must be familiar with the transmitter, so that they can avoid physical danger,
and be aware of hazards to themselves and the equipment.
Nautel offers a number of training courses covering the basic fundamentals of RF systems and
transmitters, and the operation and maintenance of the transmitter. For more information about
available courses and schedules, go to the Nautel website at http://www.nautel.com/Training.aspx,
or ask your Nautel sales representative.
Site orientation
When you give personnel access to the transmitter site (e.g., hiring new personnel, or giving access
keys to personnel), perform a site orientation to ensure that they are familiar with the site, on-site
procedures, and on-site hazards. Cover the following topics:
• Securing the site (locking doors and fences) to prevent unauthorized access
• Areas of the site and pieces of equipment that are off limits
Voltage awareness
Ensure that all personnel that are able to access areas with high voltage circuits or high field strengths
are aware of the hazards associated with high voltage. Cover the following topics:
First aid
Nautel does not offer first aid training, since the hazards associated with high voltage and RF energy
are not specific to the transmitter. However, the customer should provide first aid training to all per-
sonnel who have access to the transmitter site. First aid training should include CPR, care of burns,
artificial respiration, and defibrillation if specific equipment is available on-site.
Site safety
Controlling access
Transmitters and antennas generate and carry dangerous voltages that can be harmful or fatal. It is
very important that you control access to the site and its equipment. To secure your transmitter site,
use:
• A perimeter fence to keep trespassers away from the antenna system and feedline
• An alarm system
Marking hazards
Place warning signs close to any hazardous areas or systems (e.g., the feedline or the antenna system).
Make the signs large enough that they cannot be missed. Provide signage in all languages used in the
region. These signs are intended not only for authorized personnel, but also for emergency
responders or accidental trespassers.
Ac power protection
You should take steps to protect equipment from surges (over-voltage spikes) on the ac power lines.
Surges may occur during thunderstorms, or because of malfunctions in the electrical distribution grid.
Surge suppressors and ac power conditioners can prevent serious damage to your on-site equipment,
including the transmitter.
RF protection
Transmitters and their antenna systems create intense radio frequency fields at the transmitter site,
particularly near the feedline, antenna and tower. At some sites, these fields may cause biological
effects, including the heating of body tissues. Intense fields can also create dangerous high voltages
on ungrounded, conductive surfaces and objects. At certain points where high voltage conductors
come close to grounded conductors (e.g., at feedline junctions or on the tower), dangerous electrical
arcing or flashovers can occur. It is very important that you take the following steps to prevent
damage to equipment or personnel due to RF fields:
• Use safety interlocks to de-energize transmitters if personnel open doors or panels accessing
high field areas
• Place warning signs in any locations where high fields can occur
• Physically block access to the area around the antenna system, feedline and tower
The RF connection to the transmitter output can be a serious safety hazard. Connect a 50 Ω test load
during installation and commissioning. It is recommended that a switch be used to automatically
connect the transmitter to the antenna system without human contact with the transmitting
conductors.
Safety interlocks
The transmitter contains an electrical interlock, which is an external circuit that turns off the RF
output if any of its switches are opened.
Ac disconnect switch
Safe operation of the transmitter requires an ac disconnect switch. Lock the ac disconnect switch in
the disconnected (open) position during the installation process.
Equipment safety
Electrostatic protection
The transmitter’s systems are very rugged and resistant to damage. However, it is possible for damage
to occur because of high voltage electrostatic discharges during servicing. Train all service personnel
to ground themselves to bleed off any static charge before opening the transmitter or touching any
exposed components. Provide a grounding wand or known ground (e.g., a grounded metal table) that
personnel can use to discharge themselves.
Surge protection
Surge protection is recommended for your entire site. However, even if you do not use a surge
protector on the service entrance to the site, you should install a surge protector in the transmitter’s
ac power feed to prevent over-voltage from entering the transmitter.
Lightning protection
The transmitter is designed to resist lightning strike damage. However, intense or repeated strikes
could damage the transmitter. We recommend that you install lightning suppression on the antenna,
tower and feedline to reduce the effect of lightning strikes on the transmitter itself (and to protect the
rest of your site equipment and your personnel). For detailed information about lightning protection,
see the Nautel Site Preparation Manual, available from your Nautel sales agent, or online from the
Nautel website.
Physical protection
Consider physical hazards to equipment at your site, including the transmitter. Ensure that equipment
is protected from weather (e.g., rain or flooding), even during extreme weather events. Place
equipment so that it is not in the path of swinging doors or high-traffic areas. Do not allow wheeled
items like office chairs or tables with wheels in the transmitter room, as these may damage equipment
if accidentally pushed or knocked over. Do not place the transmitter under water pipes, drains, or
sprinklers. Keep any equipment that generates heat, like the transmitter, away from flammable
materials like ceiling panels, cubicle dividers, and curtains.
Earthquake protection
If the transmitter site is in a region that experiences any noticeable earthquake activity, take steps to
prevent the transmitter from shifting or rocking during an earthquake. Even during minor
earthquakes, rocking or movement of the transmitter is likely to damage the feedline connection, and
could even cause a catastrophic failure of the ac power feed into the transmitter. During larger
earthquakes, the weight of the transmitter chassis could be hazardous to nearby equipment or
personnel.
• Corrective maintenance
If none of the procedures and alarms described in this section address your problem, contact Nautel
for assistance. See “Technical support” on page viii.
Corrective maintenance
Corrective maintenance procedures consist of identifying and correcting defects or deficiencies that
arise during transmitter operation. Local and/or remote alarm signals are generated when a
malfunction occurs. If an alarm condition is caused by a malfunction in the RF power stage, the
transmitter may maintain operation at a reduced RF output level. The nature of the fault – and station
policy – will dictate whether an immediate maintenance response is necessary. Fault analysis and
rectification may be conducted from three different levels, with a different technical competence level
required for each: on-air troubleshooting, remote or local, and off-air troubleshooting.
CAUTION:
The transmitter contains many solid state devices that may be damaged if
subjected to excessive heat or high voltage transients. Every effort must be taken
to ensure that circuits are not overdriven or disconnected from their loads while
turned on.
On-air troubleshooting
On-air troubleshooting can be performed from a remote location, or locally at the transmitter site.
Remote troubleshooting
Remote on-air troubleshooting consists of monitoring the transmitter's radiated signal using an on-air
monitor or via a LAN connection, and observing the status of each remote fault alarm indicator.
Information obtained from these sources should enable an operator to decide whether an alarm
response may be deferred to a more convenient time, an immediate corrective action must be taken,
or if a standby transmitter must be enabled (if one is available). It is recommended that the
significance of remote indications, and the appropriate responses, be incorporated into a station's
standard operating procedures. Refer to “Identifying an alarm” on page 1-4 to determine the
remedial action required for a given fault.
Local troubleshooting
Local on-air troubleshooting consists of monitoring the transmitter's integral meters and fault alarm
indicators. Analysis of this data will normally identify the type of fault, and in most cases will
determine what corrective action must be taken. Refer to “Identifying an alarm” on page 1-4 to
determine the remedial action required for a given fault.
The power amplifier stage contains an integral modular reserve (IMR) feature. This feature permits
the transmitter to operate at a reduced RF output level when a malfunction occurs in one of its power
modules. Station operating procedures will dictate whether a reduced RF output level is acceptable.
When a reduced RF output level can be tolerated, replacement of the defective RF power module
may be deferred to a convenient time.
A defective RF power module may be removed from the transmitter for servicing, while the
transmitter is operating, provided that the conditions in the removal instructions detailed in
“Removing an RF power module” on page 1-28 are met.
Off-air troubleshooting
Off-air troubleshooting must be performed when the replacement of a defective RF power amplifier
module, or routine on-air calibration adjustments, will not restore operation.
NOTE:
Reduce the RF output level to a minimal value when troubleshooting faults in the power
amplifier stage while the transmitter’s RF output is connected to the antenna system.
Electrostatic protection
The transmitter's assemblies contain semiconductor devices that are susceptible to damage from
electrostatic discharge. The following precautions must be observed when handling an assembly
which contains these devices.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic energy is produced when two insulating materials are rubbed
together. A person wearing rubber-soled shoes, walking across a nylon carpet or a
waxed floor, can generate an extremely large electrostatic charge. This effect is
magnified during periods of low humidity. Semiconductor devices such as
integrated circuits, field-effect transistors, thyristors and Schottky diodes may be
damaged by this high voltage unless adequate precautions are taken.
Handling/Storage
An assembly should be placed in an anti-static bag when it is not installed in a host transmitter, or
when it is not undergoing maintenance. Electronic components should be stored in anti-static
materials.
Tools/Test equipment
Testing and maintenance equipment – including soldering and unsoldering tools – should be suitable
(i.e., grounded tip) for contact with static sensitive semiconductor devices.
Identifying an alarm
The best way to identify an alarm is by viewing the front panel’s Transmitter Status page
(Figure 1.1). If an alarm exists, the Status button at the bottom of the AUI display will be red. Press
or click the Status button to go to the Transmitter Status page.
1. View the list of active faults by pressing the Alarms tab. Alarms are listed by their origin
(Device column), then by name (Alarm column), and then by severity [1 = low (RF output
not affected), 5 = medium (RF output is reduced), 10 = high (RF output is inhibited); see
Level column]. See “List of current alarms” on page 1-5.
2. Attempt to clear any latching alarms by pressing the Reset button on the bottom banner of
the page. If the alarm persists, it will not be cleared from the display.
3. Refer to Table 1.1 on page 1-7 for troubleshooting tips on the offending alarm(s), which may
also reference replacement (see Table 1.2 on page 1-22) and subsequent re-calibration
procedures. Note the origin of the alarm (i.e., contained within Controller, Exciter, or
Module # sub-system folders).
NOTE:
Before undertaking any troubleshooting, record all AUI meter readings and note if any other
alarms are displayed on the Transmitter Status page. Record all alarms. The most
convenient way to do this is by using a web browser over a LAN connection to save screen shots
of critical status, meter and alarm pages. From the System Review page, press the
information (!) button for each sub-device (Controller, Exciter and Module) to view (and save)
detailed information.
Table 1.1 on page 1-7 contains a column for most Alarms that can occur, sorted alphanumerically for
each sub-system. The Description and Troubleshooting Action column provides a brief description
of the alarm, troubleshooting tips and a cross-reference to more detailed troubleshooting, as
applicable.
The AC OK LED indicates the status of the incoming ac source to the supply. The LED is green
when the ac source is at its normal operating level (between 175 and 180 V ac) and off when the ac
source is below an acceptable level or is not present.
The DC OK LED indicates the status of the dc output of the supply. The LED is green when the dc
output is within the adjustable range of its operation limits and off when the dc output is outside the
limits of normal operation.
Exciter LEDs
The front panel of each exciter contains two LEDs that provide specific status and alarm indications.
The upper LED indicates the status of the exciter’s operating power. The LED is on (green) when
the exciter’s logic supply is enabled and operating at an acceptable level.
The lower LED indicates the RF operating status of the exciter; it has four different appearances:
Controller: Active This alarm occurs when a system inhibiting fault has occurred within
Exciter Fail the active exciter. The transmitter will be latched off (or changeover to
the standby exciter, if applicable). Check for associated Exciter
prefixed alarm(s) that may have caused the failure and refer to their
troubleshooting action.
Controller: Active This alarm occurs if the active exciter is not responding to serial
Exciter Not messages. Check the integrity of the cable between the exciter’s TX
Responding LINK connector and J5 or J6 (as applicable) of the control/interface
PWB. If the connection is secure, the problem is likely exciter related.
Check for associated Exciter prefixed alarm(s) that may have caused
the failure and refer to their troubleshooting action.
Controller: Check This alarm occurs when a non system inhibiting fault has occurred
Active Exciter within the active exciter. The transmitter will likely resume operation.
Examples of such faults are IBOC data loss, fan failure, high
temperature, or an exciter low voltage power supply rail voltage is
out-of-tolerance. Check for associated Exciter prefixed alarm(s) that
may have caused the failure and refer to their troubleshooting action.
Controller: CPLD This alarm occurs when there is an incompatible software release in
Compatibility Fault the control/interface PWB’s CPLD. Update the software to clear the
fault or contact Nautel.
Controller: Cutback This alarm occurs whenever the transmitter experiences a cutback. A
cutback (reduction in power) occurs when repeated shutback alarms
occur within a prescribed time period. Shutbacks occur when the
transmitter’s peak reflected power exceeds 2:1 due [4800 W (NV40)
or 3600 W (NV30) for all modes] to a transient SWR condition (arc or
lightning) within the output transmission line or antenna system. The
transmitter shuts back and recovers to a series of cutback levels
(depending on the severity of the alarm), with each level representing
a 1/8th reduction in power from the preset value. Attempt to reset the
latched condition by pressing Reset. Inspect the output transmission
line for punctures or damage. If no damage can be found, suspect a
fault with the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Disable This alarm occurs if one or more of the RF power modules has been
Module # (1 -16) disabled by the microcontroller on the control/interface PWB. This
may be caused when one or more IPA power supply failures occur,
resulting in the requirement to shut down IPAs to maintain the total
IPA current within the capabilities of the remaining IPA power
supplies. Check for associated alarm(s) that may have caused the
failure and refer to their troubleshooting action.
Controller: EEP Fail This alarm occurs if there is no valid EEPROM configuration data to
Configuration load. Various parameters will revert back to their failsafe default
values. See “Controller: EEP Fail alarms” on page 1-23.
Controller: EEP Fail This alarm occurs if there is no valid EEPROM meter scale data to
Meter Scales load. All calibrated meter scales will revert back to their failsafe
default values. See “Controller: EEP Fail alarms” on page 1-23.
Controller: EEP Fail This alarm occurs if there is no valid EEPROM module threshold data
Module Thresholds to load. All module threshold values will revert back to their failsafe
default values. See “Controller: EEP Fail alarms” on page 1-23.
Controller: EEP Fail This alarm occurs if there is no valid EEPROM remote data to load.
Remotes All configurable remote input/output settings will revert back to their
failsafe default settings. See “Controller: EEP Fail alarms” on page 1-
23.
Controller: EEP Fail This alarm occurs if there is no valid EEPROM potentiometers data to
Thresholds load. All controller threshold values will revert back to their failsafe
default values. See “Controller: EEP Fail alarms” on page 1-23.
Controller: Exciter This event is caused by a fault in the active exciter while the
Changeover automatic changeover function is enabled. No further exciter
changeovers can occur until the fault is cleared and the automatic
changeover function is re-armed (using the Changeovers page; refer
to the Operations and Maintenance Manual). Check for associated
alarm(s) that may have caused the changeover and refer to their
troubleshooting action.
Controller: Exciter This alarm occurs when there is an incompatible software release in
Compatibility Fault the exciter. Update the exciter software to clear the fault.
Controller: Fan PS A This alarm occurs if fan power supply module A (U7) or B (U8) is
(or B) AC Fail reporting an ac failure, indicating its ac input voltage is less than
175 V ac. Check the ac voltage applied to the suspect fan power
supply module. If the ac voltage is acceptable, replace the fan supply
module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement” on
page 1-42).
Controller: Fan PS A This alarm occurs if fan power supply module A (U7) or B (U8) is
(or B) Fail reporting a PS failure, indicating its output voltage is outside its
acceptable range. Check the dc voltage output of the suspect fan
power supply module. If the dc voltage is out of tolerance, replace the
fan supply module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply
Replacement” on page 1-42). If the voltage is acceptable, suspect the
control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Fan PS A This alarm occurs if fan power supply module A (U7) or B (U8) is
(or B) High Temp reporting a high temperature alarm, indicating its operating
temperature has exceeded its internal threshold. This alarm is most
likely caused by a module fan failure or blockage. Allow the module to
cool and attempt to Reset the alarm. Verify the module turns on and
its fan is operational. If the fan is not operational, inspect it for
possible blockage. If necessary, replace the fan supply module (see
“Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement” on page 1-42). If
the alarm persist after replacing the module, suspect the control/
interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Fan PS A This alarm occurs if fan power supply module A (U7) or B (U8) is not
(or B) Module Not being detected or has been removed.
Present
Controller: Forward When the High Forward Power alarm is active, this alarm occurs if the
Power Limiting high forward power limiting threshold is exceeded [1.063 times the
maximum power setting for all modes; e.g., 46,772 W (NV40) or
35,079 W (NV30) for FM mode]. The transmitter will fold back the
forward power each time the threshold is exceeded. This alarm
occurs only if the exciter ALC cannot respond fast enough to
transmitter load changes. Suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Forward This alarm occurs if the transmitter tries to reduce the forward power
Power Shutdown below minimum due to repeated Forward Power Limiting alarms. The
transmitter latches off. See Controller: Forward Power Limiting for
troubleshooting tips.
Controller: High This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s ambient temperature exceeds
Ambient 50°C (122°F). Check the intake air system.
Temperature
Controller: High This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s average forward power exceeds
Forward Power the high forward power threshold [1.036 times the maximum power
setting for all modes; e.g., 45,584 W (NV40) or 34,113 W (NV30) for
FM mode]. This alarm occurs only if the exciter ALC cannot respond
fast enough to transmitter load changes. Suspect the control/interface
PWB (A1).
Controller: High This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s average reflected power
Reflected Power exceeds the high SWR threshold (1104 W (NV40) or 828 W (NV30)
for FM mode, 788 W (NV40) or 591 W (NV30) for FM+HD mode, 316
W (NV40) or 237 W (NV30) for HD mode). Check for associated
alarm(s) that may have caused the alarm and refer to their
troubleshooting action. Inspect the antenna and transmission line
system for damage or de-tuning, else suspect the control/interface
PWB.
Controller: High This alarm occurs if any of the transmitter’s reject loads’ average
Reject Power power exceeds its high reject power threshold. Check for associated
alarm(s) that may have caused the alarm and refer to their
troubleshooting action. This alarm may be accompanied by a Reject
Power Foldback alarm. Typically, high reject power is a result of RF
power module failure or removal. If no other alarms are indicated,
suspect the control/interface PWB.
Controller: Interlock The external interlock input wired to the control/interface PWB (A1) is
Open open. Check the interlock connection between TB2-1 and TB2-2 on
the control/interface PWB (verify a ground potential at TB2-1). If the
interlock is intact, check all external interlock switches. Otherwise,
suspect a problem with the interlock circuitry on the control/interface
PWB.
Controller: IPA This alarm occurs if there is a failure in one or more IPA power supply
Supply High Current module [A (U9), B (U10) or C (U11)] and the remaining IPA power
Latch supply modules are unable to provide the current required by the
IPAs. This alarm is typically accompanied by one or more Controller:
Disable Module alarms. Check the troubleshooting action in the
associated alarm(s).
Controller: IPA Input This alarm occurs if the active exciter’s power is greater than the high
High IPA input threshold [175 W for analog (FM) mode and 116 W for
hybrid (FM+HD) and all-digital (HD) mode). Compare the exciter’s
programmed level to its actual output. If a difference exists, there may
be an exciter regulation problem.
Controller: IPA Input This alarm occurs - in analog (FM) mode only - if the active exciter’s
Low power is less than the low IPA input threshold (70 W). Increase the
exciter output power until the alarm clears. Check RF drive cabling.
Controller: IPA PS A This alarm occurs if IPA power supply module A (U9), B (U10) or C
(or B or C) AC Fail (U11) is reporting an ac failure, indicating its ac input voltage is less
than 175 V ac. If a bank of power supply modules are indicating an
AC Fail alarm, it is possible that an ac phase loss has occurred.
Check the ac voltage applied to the suspect IPA power supply
module. If the ac voltage is acceptable, replace the IPA supply
module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement” on
page 1-42).
Controller: IPA PS A This alarm occurs if IPA power supply module A (U9), B (U10) or C
(or B or C) Fail (U11) is reporting a PS failure, indicating its output voltage is outside
its acceptable range. Check the dc voltage output of the suspect IPA
power supply module. If the dc voltage is out of tolerance, replace the
IPA supply module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply
Replacement” on page 1-42). If the voltage is acceptable, suspect the
control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: IPA PS A This alarm occurs if IPA power supply module A (U9), B (U10) or C
(or B or C) High Temp (U11) is reporting a high temperature alarm, indicating its operating
temperature has exceeded its internal threshold. This alarm is most
likely caused by a module fan failure or blockage. Allow the module to
cool and attempt to Reset the alarm. Verify the module turns on and
its fan is operational. If the fan is not operational, inspect it for
possible blockage. If necessary, replace the IPA supply module (see
“Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement” on page 1-42). If
the alarm persist after replacing the module, suspect the control/
interface PWB (A1).
Controller: IPA PS A This alarm occurs if IPA power supply module A (U9), B (U10) or C
(or B or C) Module (U11) is not being detected or has been removed.
Not Present
Controller: Low AC This alarm occurs if the ac input voltage is below the switching power
supplies’ internal threshold or one of the phases of a 3-phase source
has been lost. For 1-phase or 208 V ac 3-phase sources the low ac
threshold voltage is 180 V ac. For 400 V ac sources the low ac
threshold voltage is 312 V ac. Check the three amber LEDs (DS1
through DS3) in the bottom, left-hand of the transmitter. If the LEDs
are off, there is likely a problem with the ac service. Measure the ac
source voltage at the service entrance. Normally this should measure
between 180 and 264 V ac line-line [for 3-phase (nominal 208 V ac)
and 1-phase (nominal 230 V ac)] or between 312 and 457 V ac line-
line [for 3-phase (nominal 400 V ac)].
Controller: Low This alarm occurs if the backup battery voltage falls below an
Battery/Memory Fail acceptable level (2.7 V). Check the battery voltage (with ac power
on). If battery voltage is low, replace battery. If battery voltage is OK,
cycle ac power (off, then on). If the alarm does not clear, suspect the
control/interface PWB.
Controller: Low This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s average forward power falls
Forward Power below the low forward power threshold (defaulted to 50% of the
preset power level for all modes) due to module failures, combiner/
filter faults, reject load faults, or SWR foldback. If no other alarms are
being indicated, suspect the control/interface PWB.
Controller: +12V This alarm occurs if the +12 V supply from SBC/AUI power supply A
Supply A (or B) Fault (U1) or B (U2) is outside its acceptable voltage range (between +10.8
and +13.2 V). Use a digital multimeter to measure between +V and -V
of the suspect +12 V supply’s output voltage. If necessary, replace
the +12 V supply (see “+12 V Power Supply Replacement” on page 1-
41). If the alarm persists after replacing the supply, suspect the
control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: +15V This alarm occurs if the +15 V supply from LVPS module A (U3) or B
Supply A (or B) Fault (U4) is outside its acceptable voltage range (between +13.5 and
+16.5 V). Use a digital multimeter to measure between V2 and COM
of the suspect LVPS output voltage. If necessary, replace the LVPS
(see “LVPS Replacement” on page 1-39). If the alarm persists after
replacing the supply, suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: -15V This alarm occurs if the +15 V supply from LVPS module A (U3) or B
Supply A (or B) Fault (U4) is outside its acceptable voltage range (between -13.5 and
-16.5 V). Use a digital multimeter to measure between V3 and COM of
the suspect LVPS output voltage. If necessary, replace the LVPS
(see “LVPS Replacement” on page 1-39). If the alarm persists after
replacing the supply, suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: +5V This alarm occurs if the +5 V supply from LVPS module A (U3) or B
Supply A (or B) Fault (U4) is outside its acceptable voltage range (between +4.95 and
+6.05 V). Use a digital multimeter to measure between V1 and COM
of the suspect LVPS output voltage. If necessary, replace the LVPS
(see “LVPS Replacement” on page 1-39). If the alarm persists after
replacing the supply, suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Mode/ This alarm occurs if there is a mismatch between the operating mode
Frequency Mismatch or carrier frequency of the transmitter and one or more of the
associated exciters. Using the AUI verify the active presets of the
transmitter and exciter match. If necessary, set and save the
transmitter’s or exciter’s preset accordingly.
Controller: Module 1 - This alarm occurs if one or more of the RF power modules is not
16 Not Responding responding to serial messages. Try swapping the affected module
with a module in another location (see “Operating with defective or
missing RF power modules” on page 1-26). If the alarm follows the
module, troubleshoot or replace the module. If the alarm follows the
location, check the connections between the module location and its
associated module backplane PWB.
Controller: Reject A This alarm occurs if one of the reject load cooling fans (1 though 7 in
(or B or C) Fan # (1-7 reject load assembly A, 1 through 3 in reject load assemblies B and
Fail C) is reporting a failure. With RF on, remove the upper, back panels
and check the associated fans for blockage. If the fan is functioning
properly (as compared to adjacent fans), but the indicated fan speed
on the AUI is zero, there may be a problem with the fan’s tachometer
circuitry on the control/interface PWB. Disconnect the fan’s power
plug and verify there is a nominal 48 V on the plug. If so, replace the
fan. If not, suspect a defective fan power supply module.
Controller: Reject A This alarm occurs if any of the reject load power samples exceeds its
(or B or C) Power high reject power threshold (1200 W in analog or hybrid mode; 600 W
High # (1-8) in all-digital mode). Typically, high reject power is a result of RF power
module failure or removal. If no other alarms are being indicated,
suspect the control/interface PWB.
Controller: Reject This alarm occurs if any of the transmitter’s reject loads’ average
Power Foldback power exceeds its reject power foldback threshold (1500 W in analog
or hybrid mode; 750 W in all-digital mode). The transmitter’s forward
power will be reduced each time the alarm occurs, until the fault
clears. Typically, high reject power is a result of RF power module
failure or removal. If no other alarms are being indicated, suspect the
control/interface PWB.
Controller: Reject This alarm occurs if the transmitter tries to reduce the forward power
Power Shutdown below minimum due to repeated Reject Power Foldback alarms. The
transmitter latches off. See Controller: Reject Load Foldback for
troubleshooting tips.
Controller: Restore This alarm occurs if the control/interface PWB was unable to maintain
Status CRC Failure the state of the transmitter through the most recent ac power cycle.
Replace the control/interface PWB’s backup battery (see the Routine
Maintenance section of the Operations and Maintenance Manual). If
battery is OK, cycle ac power (off, then on). If the alarm does not
clear, replace the control/interface PWB.
Controller: SWR This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s average reflected power
Foldback exceeds the SWR foldback threshold [1584 W (NV40) or 1188 W
(NV30) for FM mode, 1128 W (NV40) or 846 W (NV30) for FM+HD
mode, 452 W (NV40) or 339 W (NV30) for HD mode) due to a gradual
degrading load match. Each time the SWR foldback threshold is
exceeded, the transmitter’s forward power will be reduced until it
reaches minimum power, beyond which the transmitter will shut
down. If the load match improves while the transmitter is producing
RF output, the forward power will increase. Visually inspect the
antenna system for ice buildup. If no ice is present, suspect the fault
detection circuitry on the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: SWR This alarm occurs if the transmitter’s peak reflected power exceeds
Shutback the SWR shutback threshold [2:1 SWR, 4800 W (NV40) or 3600 W
(NV30) due to a transient SWR condition (arc or lightning) within the
output transmission line or antenna system. Attempt to reset the
latched condition by pressing Reset. Inspect the output transmission
line for punctures or damage. If no damage can be found, suspect a
fault with the control/interface PWB (A1). See also Controller:
Cutback alarm.
Controller: SWR This alarm occurs if the transmitter tries to reduce the forward power
Shutdown below 6520 W (NV40) or 4890 W (NV30) (FM mode), 4656 W (NV40)
or 3492 W (NV30) (FM+HD mode) or 1860 W (NV40) or 1395 W
(NV30) (HD mode) due to repeated SWR Foldback alarms
(equivalent to a 3:1 SWR). The transmitter latches off. See Controller:
SWR Foldback for troubleshooting tips.
Controller: VDC A (or This alarm occurs if the fan A or B voltage, measured on the power
B) Fan Fail supply distribution PWB (A7), is below the low fan voltage threshold
(40 V). If there is an associated Controller: Fan PS A (or B) Fail alarm,
follow that alarm’s troubleshooting action. Verify the voltage on TP1
(A) or TP2 (B) of the power supply distribution PWB. If the voltage is
low, check the connections between the fan power supply module, its
PS interface PWB and the power supply distribution PWB. If it is OK,
suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Controller: Very Low This alarm occurs if transmitter’s average forward power falls below
Forward Power the low forward power threshold (defaulted to 25% of the preset
power level for all modes) due to module failures, combiner/filter
faults, reject load faults, or SWR foldback. If no other alarms are
being indicated, suspect the control/interface PWB.
Exciter A/B: Audio This alarm occurs if the exciter’s audio processing and FM modulation
Shutdown code is shut down. Should display only during a software upgrade.
Exciter A/B: Analog This alarm indicates the analog left or right audio input level is too low

Unlock alarm (see associated troubleshooting action). If no
accompanying SRC alarm exists, susect a problem with the external
audio processor or studio feed.
Exciter A/B: Entered This alarm occurs when the exciter is in “firmware upgrade” mode. It
Firmware Upgrade should only be displayed during a transmitter software upgrade.
Exciter A/B: Exgine This alarm occurs when the exciter is initally powered up, but the
Not Booted Exgine PWB (A3) has not finshed its boot-up sequence. Normally, the
alarm will clear on its own. If not, suspect a defective Exgine PWB.
Exciter A/B: Exgine This alarm indicates the exciter is not communicating with the Exgine
Offline PWB (A3). Check the ribbon cable between the Exgine PWB (A3) and
J15 of the NVE exciter PWB (A1). Check the Exgine PWB.
Exciter A/B: External This alarm occurs if a ground potential is applied to pin 7 of connector
Mute A1J4A or pin 1 of connector A1J7A on the exciter’s back panel. The
exciter’s RF output is reduced to 0 W.
Exciter A/B: Fan Fail This alarm occurs if the exciter’s cooling fan (B1) speed is too low.
This alarm does not directly inhibit the exciter’s RF output, but may
result in a PA Over Temperature alarm, which will inhibit the output.
Exciter A/B: FPGA There was a programming failure with the initial startup sequence of
Test Failed the NVE exciter PWB (A1). Possibly indicates a failed software
upgrade or a hardware failure on the NVE exciter PWB.
Exciter A/B: IPA Volts This alarm indicates the first-stage amplifier’s PA voltage is outside its
Fail acceptable range of 24.3 to 29.7 V. Check the exciter’s power supply
(U3).
Exciter A/B: Low This alarm occurs if the backup battery voltage falls below an
Backup Battery acceptable level (2.7 V). Check the battery voltage. If battery voltage
is low, replace battery. If battery voltage is OK, cycle ac power (off,
then on). If the alarm does not clear, suspect the NVE exciter PWB.
Exciter A/B: Missing This alarm occurs if the transmitter has not sent a preset configuration
External Preset to the exciter. Can occur of the exciter has been power-cycled, but
the transmitter has not, in which case the alarm should clear on its
own. If the alarm persists, contact Nautel.
Exciter A/B: Need This alarm indicates that NVE setup changes have been made,
Reboot For Settings typically via the Hardware Configuration page of the AUI. Cycle (turn
off, then on) the power to the exciter to store the changes.
Exciter A/B: No This alarms occurs, in the transmitter log only, if no external or Exgine
Active 10 MHz 10 MHz clock is being detected. If the alarm persists, the exciter may
have experienced a TCXO failure or an improperly installed OCXO
upgrade.
Exciter A/B: No Ext This alarms occurs if no external 10 MHz is detected. Check the
10 MHz 10 MHz input.
Exciter A/B: No HD This alarms occurs, in FM+HD or HD mode, if IBOC data is not

Fail outside its acceptable range of 40.5 to 49.5 V. Check the exciter’s
power supply (U3).
Exciter A/B: Pilot This alarm occurs if there is no synchronization between the 10 MHz
Unsync and 1PPS signals. It may indicate that the GPS receiver is not
detecting a signal. Check the GPS receiver and antenna.
Exciter A/B: PLL This alarm indicates that the exciter’s master clock is not locked
Unlock Possible causes are an out-of-range 10 MHz input or a hardware
failure on the NVE exciter PWB (A1).
Exciter A/B: Primary This alarm indicate that no valid AES/EBU or SPDIF stream data is
Digital SRC Unlock being detected on the selected AES/EBU or optical input. Check
cable connections and verify the primary input assignments are set
correctly in the Hardware Configuration page of the AUI.
Exciter A/B: SCA 1 This alarm indicates the SCA 1 or 2 input level is too low or is not
(or 2) Low applied.
Exciter A/B: This alarm indicate that no valid AES/EBU or SPDIF stream data is
Secondary Digital being detected on the selected AES/EBU or optical input. Check
SRC Unlock cable connections and verify the primary input assignments are set
correctly in the Hardware Configuration page of the AUI.
Exciter A/B: SWR This alarm occurs if the exciter has completely shut off due to
Shutback excessive SWR at the exciter’s RF output. The exciter’s RF output is
reduced to 0 W. Typically caused by a severe mismatch (open or
short circuit) at the exciter’s RF output. Check the RF load at the
exciter’s output.
Exciter A/B: This alarm indicates that the exciter is operating with ‘unsigned code’,
Unsigned DSP Image but is otherwise operational. This alarm may only be displayed if the
transmitter is operating with a ‘beta’ version of factory software.

Module #: Alarm Fan (Module LED = red) This alarm occurs if two or more fans fail while
Inhibit the module is operating. Module PAs and IPA are inhibited. Requires
a reset from the AUI.
Module #: External (Module LED = red) This alarm occurs if the module receives an
Inhibit Serial inhibit message serially from the controller. The controller may inhibit
modules for various reasons.
Module #: External (Module LED = red) This alarm occurs if the module’s front panel
Inhibit Switch switch is in the ‘down’ position. Set the switch to its ‘up’ position and
initiate a reset via the AUI to enable the module.
Module #: Fan 1-6 (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the speed of one of
Fail the associate module’s cooling fans is below 3000 RPM (half its
nominal value of 6000 RPM). Inspect the affected fan and, if
necessary, replace it (see “Module cooling fan replacement” on
page 1-38).
Module #: Heatsink (Module LED = red) The heatsink temperature of the module has
Temp Inhibit exceeded the AUI adjustable threshold. The module will be inhibited
and requires a Reset from the AUI to re-enable If this alarm is
accompanied by another alarm, troubleshoot the other alarm first. If
the alarm occurs on its own, see “Troubleshooting RF power
modules” on page 1-28 to determine whether to replace the affected
module or to repair damaged parts.
Module #: IPA (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the IPA PA’s peak
Forward High forward power is greater than the AUI adjustable threshold for the
operating mode and frequency. The module will continue to operate
unless the IPA’s peak forward power exceeds the IPA Forward
Shutdown threshold, which is 10 W greater than the IPA Forward
High threshold.
Module #: IPA (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the IPA PA’s peak
Forward Low forward power is less than the AUI adjustable threshold for the
operating mode. The module will continue to operate.
Module #: IPA (Module LED = red) This alarm occurs if the IPA’s peak forward
Forward Shutdown power exceeds the AUI adjustable IPA Forward High threshold for the
operating mode and frequency by more than 10 W. The module will
be inhibited.
Module #: IPA Input (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the input RF drive
High (exciter power) is greater than the AUI adjustable high IPA input
threshold for the operating mode. This alarm occurs if the exciter ALC
cannot respond quickly enough to varying exciter load changes or if
the exciter’s output has increased or been incorrectly set to a very
high level.
Module #: IPA Input (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the input RF drive
Low (exciter power) is less than the AUI adjustable low IPA input threshold
for the operating mode. This may be the result of an exciter fault,
excessive load variation on the active exciter output, or defective
components on the RF drive splitter/changeover assembly.
Module #: Module (Module LED = green/red) There is no valid EEPROM data to load.
EEP Fault See “Operating with defective or missing RF power modules” on
page 1-26 to replace the affected module.
Module #: No Front (Module LED = red/amber) The module has not received any serial
Panel messages from the Controller for more than 2.5 seconds. This alarm
is only displayed as a log entry for the applicable module.
Module #: PA 1-8 (Module LED = green/red) Due to other failures within the module, the
DSBL PA has been disabled to limit reject power in the module. Check for
associated alarm(s) that may have caused the failure and refer to
their troubleshooting action.
Module #: PA 1-8 Fail (Module LED = green/red) This alarm occurs if the dc input current for
the suspect PA has fallen below a preset threshold (typically less than
50% of the average PA current of the operational PAs). This may be
caused by a cabling fault on the PA, loss of PA voltage or bias, or a
defective FET. The transmitter’s output power will be reduced.
Module #: PS 1 (or 2) (Module LED = green/red or amber) This alarm occurs if one of the
AC Fail two module power supplies (1 or 2) is reporting an ac failure,
indicating its ac input voltage is less than 175 V ac. If a bank of power
supply modules are indicating an AC Fail alarm, it is possible that an
ac phase loss has occurred. Check the ac voltage applied to the
suspect power supply module. If the ac voltage is acceptable, replace
the module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement”
on page 1-41).
Module #: PS 1 (or 2) (Module LED = green/red or amber) This alarm occurs if one of the
Fail two module power supplies (1 or 2) is reporting a PS failure, indicating
its output voltage is outside its acceptable range, based on the control
setting. Check the dc voltage output of the suspect power supply
module. If the dc voltage is out of tolerance, replace the power supply
module (see “Fan, IPA and Module Power Supply Replacement” on
page 1-41). If the voltage is acceptable, suspect the control/interface
PWB (A1).
Module #: PS 1 (or 2) (Module LED = green/red or amber) This alarm occurs if one of the
High Temp two module power supplies (1 or 2) is reporting a high temperature
alarm, indicating its operating temperature has exceeded its internal
threshold. Both module power supplies are inhibited while this fault
exists. This alarm is most likely caused by a module fan failure or
blockage. Temporarily pull out the module, cycle (turn off, then on)
the ac power. After a few minutes, re-insert the module and attempt to
Reset the alarm. Verify the module turns on and its fan is operational.
If the fan is not operational, inspect it for possible blockage. If
necessary, replace the IPA supply module (see “Fan, IPA and Module
Power Supply Replacement” on page 1-41). If the alarm persist after
replacing the module, suspect the control/interface PWB (A1).
Module #: PS 1 (or 2) (Module LED = green/red or amber) This alarm occurs if one of the
Not Present two module power supplies (1 or 2) is not being detected or has been
removed.
Module #: Power Up (Module LED = red) The associated module has just been installed or
Inhibit dc power has just been restored. The module will be inhibited until a
reset is received from the AUI.
Troubleshooting tips
AUI screen lockup
If the local AUI screen locks up, perform the following steps to restore normal AUI operation:
1. If you also use a PC for remote AUI control/monitoring of the transmitter, use the PC to
navigate to the Software Configuration page (from the Menu options). Select
Maintenance and click the Reboot AUI button. If this does not restore operation of the
local AUI, proceed to Step 2.
2. Open the transmitter’s front door. Gain access to the single-board computer (SBC, U6U1)
on the back of the door by removing the protective cover. Retain all hardware.
3. Remove and then reinstall 4-pin connector P11. Reinstall the SBC’s protective cover and
close the transmitter’s front door.
In the case of the Controller: EEP Fail Configuration alarm, the following parameters will revert to
the indicated failsafe default states:
In the case of the Controller: EEP Fail Meter Scales alarm, all calibrated meter scales will revert to
their failsafe default values.
In the case of the Controller: EEP Fail Module Thresholds alarm, all module thresholds will revert to
their failsafe default values.
In the case of the Controller: EEP Fail Remotes alarm, all configurable remote input and output lines
on J23 and J24 of the control/interface PWB will revert to their failsafe default values.
In the case of the Controller: EEP Fail Thresholds alarm, all controller thresholds will revert to their
failsafe default values.
1. Using the front panel AUI’s Hardware Configuration page, confirm the associated alarm
by verifying the parameters have reverted to their failsafe default states. Use the list above to
verify a Controller: EEP Fail Configuration alarm.
2. Attempt to reset the alarm by resetting one of the defaulted parameters to its desired value or
state. Even if no parameter requires resetting, it is necessary to re-write at least one
parameter. Press Apply in the applicable AUI screen.
3. Cycle the ac power (switch off ac power, then switch back on).
4. If the Controller: EEP Fail alarm persists, suspect the control/interface PWB (A1) and if
necessary, replace it (see “Control/interface PWB replacement” on page 1-35).
1. Check the forward power reading on the AUI. If it is less than the preset level, one or more
RF power modules are defective. Proceed to “RF power module fault validation” on page 1-
25.
2. If the forward power reading in Step 1 is normal press the Transmitter Status button on the
AUI to check for other alarms that may have triggered the RF power module alarm.
3. From the AUI’s System Review page, click the i (information) button to view the RF
Modules status screen (see Figure 1.2 on page 1-25). This screen displays critical parameters
for all 16 RF power modules. As an aid in troubleshooting, compare parameters to isolate
possible module faults.
Identify and isolate a defective RF power module, and verify the nature of the defect by checking the
LED on the RF power module’s front panel. Note which RF power module is not operating
normally and producing RF power (i.e., LED is not solid green). Record which RF power modules
are displaying an alarm and the state of its LED (see below).
For all Module alarms, the Description and Troubleshooting Action column of Table 1.1 on
page 1-7 includes the expected LED colour for the AUI alarm being described.
Attempt to reset an RF power module by pressing Reset on the AUI screen. If you cannot reset the
front panel LED alarm, see “RF power module troubleshooting”.
NOTE:
A defective RF power module can be removed for repair, without turning off the transmitter, as
described in “Removing an RF power module” on page 1-28. The transmitter can be operated
at a reduced output power level with an RF power module removed.
If you have purchased the RF power module extension test jig (Nautel Part # 206-5350), you can use
it to test and troubleshoot RF power modules before returning them to service. Refer to “Using the
RF power module extension test jig” on page 1-30 for more information.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to compensate for power reduction caused by an RF power
module failure by adjusting the RF power level.
• If an RF power module has one or more defective PAs, as indicated by the AUI's RF
Modules Status screen (and suspect RF power module's front panel LEDs), but is still
contributing to the transmitter's RF output, it may be left on. The transmitter will take
necessary precautions to reduce the stress on components due to the failure, i.e., power
reduction.
• If an RF power module must be removed, turn it off prior to disengaging its blind-mating
connectors. Refer to “Removing and reinstalling RF power modules” on page 1-28 to disable
a module with the transmitter on air. At all other times, turn off the switching power supplies
by pressing the RF Off button, then switch off the ac power source at the service entrance.
NOTE:
There are many possible combinations of PA/module failures or extractions. The best and
worst case situations are shown in Table 1.3.
• When maintenance is complete and it is safe to return the transmitter to normal service,
enable all RF power module supplies by setting the switch on the front of the associated RF
power module(s) to its ‘up’ position.
RF Output Power
PA/Module Failures/Removal (% of original RF output power)
2. Set the switch on the front of the RF power module to its ‘down’ position. This inhibits the
module’s associated pair of power supply modules.
3. Remove the two M5 securing screws in the front of the module. If necessary, remove the
two M8 shipping screws in the back of the module (the shipping screws do not need to be
reinstalled, and may have already been removed during installation or previous maintenance).
WARNING:
Rotating parts are present at the bottom of the RF power module. Take
care when removing the module.
4. Grasp the handle on the front of the RF power module and carefully pull the RF power
module out of the transmitter. The module weighs 17 kg (38 lbs).
2. Carefully push the RF power module into place so that its card-edge connector mates with
the transmitter.
4. Set the switch on the front of the RF power module to its ‘up’ position.
5. Press the Reset button on the AUI to enable the RF power module and its two associated
power supplies.

WARNING:
Dangerous RF and dc voltages are exposed when an RF power
module’s cover is removed. Use extreme caution when
troubleshooting an RF power module. Nautel highly recommends
that you contact a customer service representative before attempting
to troubleshoot an RF power module.
1. Remove or verify an RF power module has been removed to allow insertion of the test jig
(see “Removing an RF power module” on page 1-28). See above NOTE for restrictions.
2. Obtain the NV extension module (Nautel Part # NAX249). Carefully push the NV
extension module into the vacant module position so that its card-edge connector mates
with the transmitter. Note that the end of the extension module that has protruding 7/16”
DIN and card-edge connectors is the end that inserts into the transmitter.
Figure 1.4: Testing an RF Power Module with the NV Power Module Extension Test Jig
NV EXTENSION MODULE
(INSERTED IN MODULE POSITION)
4. Obtain the NV module extension support (Nautel Part # 206-5330). Install the extension
support at the front of the transmitter as shown in Figure 1.4. Secure the extension support
using two M5 screws, which are pre-existing on adjacent modules (e.g., modules 1 and 3).
Install, but do not tighten the screws at this time.
5. Obtain the RF power module to be tested. Remove the RF power module’s right-hand side
cover and, using four M4 screws from the cover, install the module cover runner (Nautel
Part # 206-5355) at the bottom of the module’s open side. The runner provides added
mechanical stability for the module under test while its cover is removed.
6. Carefully push the RF power module into the module extension support so that its card-edge
connector mates with the NV extension module. Firmly tighten the screws that were
installed in Step 4.
7. Set the switch on the front of the RF power module to its ‘up’ (enabled) position.
8. Press the Reset button on the AUI to enable the RF power module and its two associated
power supplies. Test or troubleshoot the RF power module as desired.
9. Reverse the steps in this procedure to remove the RF power module extension test jig and
return the RF power module to the transmitter cabinet. Press the Reset button on the AUI
to return the RF power module to service.
• Digital multimeter
• Torque screwdriver, capable of torquing up to 0.67 N-m (6 in.-lbs). Required for installing
attaching hardware for PA PWB FETs.
Electrostatic Precautions
The RF power module contains semiconductor devices that are susceptible to damage from
electrostatic discharge. Be sure to follow the electrostatic precautions in “Electrostatic protection” on
page 1-3 at all times.
3. Based on the AUI alarm that prompted RF power module troubleshooting, replace either
the defective PA PWB (see “PA PWB replacement” on page 1-33) or defective cooling fan.
(see ).
NOTE:
If a failure occurs, you must replace the entire power amplifier PWB, rather than an individual
FET. A spare power amplifier PWB (NAPA20A) is provided in the transmitter station
spares kit, if purchased. To order a station spares kit contact Nautel. Failure to observe this
recommendation may void your equipment warranty or cause further failures.
PA PWB replacement
See Figure MD-14 in the Mechanical Drawings section (Section 6) of this manual.
1. Unsolder and remove the four solder connections to the PA PWB. They include a white, 22
AWG wire (to pad A), a white, 16 AWG wire (to pad B) and two tinned copper jumpers (to
pads C and F).
2. Remove the two #4 screws, split and flat washers securing the FET to the heat sink.
3. Remove the six M3 screws securing the PA PWB to the heat sink.
4. Obtain the replacement NAPA20A PA PWB from the station spares kit, if purchased. As
applicable, retain the PA Bias Volts Data sheet provided with the replacement PA PWB.
NOTE:
FETs are static sensitive and must be handled in a static protected manner.
5. Spread a small amount of thermal compound (Nautel Part # HAG39, from the station
spares kit), thinly and evenly, on the bottom of the FET flange on the new PA PWB.
6. Secure the PA PWB on the module's heat sink using the six screws removed in Step 3.
Ensure correct orientation (same as the adjacent PWB). Do not tighten the six screws at this
time.
7. Secure the FET (Q1) with two # 4 screws, a flat washer and a new split washer.
NOTE:
You can damage the FET case if you fully tighten one screw while the other is loose. Try to
alternate tightening of the two screws to prevent this.
8. Using a torque screwdriver, tighten the screws to 6 inch pounds (0.672 Newton-meters).
11. Return the RF power module to the transmitter (see “Installing an RF power module” on
page 1-28).
12. If you experience any reject load related alarms, it is possible that the replacement PA PWB
requires a change to its bias setting. A PA’s bias setting acts to balance the PA output power
levels based on different FET characteristics. If this occurs, perform the “PA Biasing
Procedure” on page 1-35.
PA Biasing Procedure
This procedure describes how to enter the bias data for a replacement PA PWB and store it in the RF
power module's EEPROM using the controller debug port and menu. Bias data will be provided on a
tag attached to the replacement PA PWB. To perform this procedure you will need:
1. With the RF power module installed in the transmitter, set the switch on the front of the RF
power module to its ‘down’ position. The module’s lamp should be red.
2. Determine the RF power module address from the module’s position in the transmitter

in Section 4, “Non-standard maintenance” on page 4-1 of the Operations and Maintenance
Manual.
This section provides a detailed description of the transmitter’s key modules and assemblies,
including:
Microcontroller
Microcontroller IC U41 interfaces with the transmitter via several serial buses. J17 provides an
isolated RS-232 interface with the front panel’s advanced user interface (AUI). J20 provides an
isolated RS-232 interface for debugging. There are also serial interfaces with exciter A (via J5), exciter
B (via J6), optional SC2 system controller (via J22).
U41 also acts as an internal and external serial interface for transmitter alarm and status signals.
Digital inputs
RFI filtering is provided on all digital input lines to ensure transmitter operation is not interrupted
due to RF pick up on control lines. Opto-couplers buffer/isolate the external circuits and prevent
unwanted transients from affecting transmitter operation. The digital inputs on connector J24 are
shifted in through shift register IC U42. These values are then relayed to microcontroller U41 over
the SPI bus.
Digital outputs
Shift registers U63, U64 and U83, controlled by microcontroller U41 over the SPI bus, control the
status of the digital outputs applied to connector J23. Digital output logic levels are configured
through the AUI.
Analog outputs
Digital samples of the selected (or defaulted) analog outputs are applied to DACs U61 and U62 by
microcontroller U41 over the SPI bus. The analog outputs of DACs U61 and U62 are applied to
connector J24, via operational amplifiers U66:A through U66:D and U70:A through U70:D.
• Provides an interface between the remote control/monitor facility and the transmitter.
• Provides momentary contact activation switches for each of the 24 digital inputs.
• Provides configurable status or alarm indicator LEDs for each of the 24 digital outputs.
Digital inputs
Up to 24 digital inputs can be connected to terminal blocks J7, J8, J9 and J10. You can define these
digital inputs using the advanced user interface (AUI). Each must provide a logic low input (0 V) in
its active state to the associated terminal of the remote interface PWB. Momentary switches S1 (01)
through S24 (24), which can be labelled according to their function, provide a means to locally
activate the digital inputs.
Digital outputs
Up to 24 digital outputs can be connected to terminal blocks J3, J4, J5 and J6. You can define these
digital outputs (alarm or status) using the advanced user interface (AUI). Each provides a negative
logic (current-sink-to-ground) output when a ‘true’ (alarm condition or active status) exists. The
outputs provide an open collector during logic 'false' conditions (non-alarm or non-active status
condition) and have no influence on the external monitoring circuit. Each monitoring circuit must
present impedance between the switching device and a positive dc voltage source that results in a
current flow of not more than 30 mA. A +15 V supply is available for use by the remote monitoring
circuits on J1-34 or J1-35 (ground on J1-36 or J1-37). Bi-position shorting jumpers E1 through E24
allow you to connect each digital output to a STATUS (green) or ALARM (red) LED, depending on its
function. The outputs can also be labelled according to their function.
Each RF power module (1 through 16) provides up to 2750 W (for NV40) or 2062.5 W (for NV30)
of RF output power and is comprised of an IPA PA PWB (A9), eight PA PWBs (A1 through A8), a
power module interface PWB (A10), a module splitter PWB (A11) and a combiner PWB (A12).
Cooling air for the module is provided by six internal fans (B1 through B6).
An RF Drive output from the RF drive stage is applied to each RF power module via its power
module interface PWB (A10). Within each RF power module, the RF drive signal is amplified
through an IPA PA and then split to drive the module's eight PAs. The IPA Volts input from the
associated power supply module control the RF output of the IPA PA. The PA Volts inputs from the
associated power supply modules control the RF output of the eight PAs. The RF power module
receives alarm signals (PS Temp, PS Fail and PS AC Fail) from the ac-dc power stage, which, when
active, inhibit the PAs. The RF power module also provides a Pwr Supply Inhibit signal to the ac-dc
power stage, which, when active, inhibits the associated switching power supply. A PA V Sample and
IPA V Sample from each RF power module is applied to the control/monitor stage. The control/
monitor stage supplies a PA Volts Inhibit signal, which controls the PA outputs of the RF power
module.
The RF Drive input is applied to cable T1, which is connected as a balun to provide balanced, 180°
out-of-phase, RF drive signals to the individual gates of dual N-channel power MOSFET (Q1).
Cables T2:A and T2:B, as well as capacitors C2, C6, C7 and C17, inductor L2 (part of R12/R13 leads)
and resistors R5, R8 through R10, R12 and R13 provide impedance matching, which transforms the
50 ohm input to low impedance for application to Q1. The PA voltage is applied to the individual
drains of Q1 via inductors L4 and L5, which provide proper resonating reactance for Q1's output.
Cable T3:A and T3:B transform the impedance at the RF output, ensuring an optimum (low)
impedance is presented at Q1's output. Cable T4 converts the balanced RF signal to an unbalanced
RF Output signal.
The PA V input is applied to capacitors C1, C3, C5, C8 and C11, which act as a broadband
decoupling network. Capacitor C13 and inductor L3 provide low-pass filtering of the RF signal back
to the ac-dc power stage.
The Bias input voltage is provided by the power module interface PWB to establish a dc bias current
for Q1. The bias current depends on the operating mode and whether the amplifier is in an RF power
module or an IPA module.
• Monitoring the current supplied to each PA and cause an alarm condition if a PA stops
drawing current.
• Providing a low level dc signal, proportional to the intermediate RF drive power, for
monitoring.
• Inhibiting the associated switching power supply module when the appropriate fault occurs.
• Communicating with the control/monitor stage on module specific status and alarm
parameters.
PA fail detection
The voltages across resistors R88, R90, R93, R96, R98, R99, R101 and R103, representative of the
individual PA currents, are applied to differential amplifiers U25, U27 through U29, U31 through
U33 and U35. Their output voltages are applied to input channels of multiplexer U30. PA 1 CUR
through PA 8 CUR test points are provided at the module's front panel for monitoring. Multiplexer
U30's output is fed to microcontroller U12. Microcontroller U12 outputs data to 8-bit shift registers
U5 and U6.
During normal operation, when a PA is drawing current, the logic 'low' output at U5-7 causes FET
Q2 to turn off. If no current is flowing through a PA, the U5-7 output will switch to logic 'high'. This
turns on FET Q2 and causes a ground potential to be applied to the Module Fault output, which
causes the FLT (fault) LED on the module splitter PWB (A11) to turn.
RF drive sample
A short section of micro-strip transmission line is in close proximity to the active exciter's RF drive
output. Due to the proximity and orientation to the micro-strip, an RF voltage representative of the
RF drive is induced in a power probe circuit. The RF drive signal is peak detected by CR26, C131,
R112 and associated components and applied to the RF Drive Sample output (P1-18). The sample is
applied to the control/monitor stage's monitoring and protection circuits.
Temperature sensors
Thermistor RT7 on the module splitter PWB (A11) monitors the temperature of the RF power
module’s intake air. Thermistor RT1 on the combiner PWB (A12) monitors the temperature of the
RF power module’s exhaust air. They are negative temperature coefficient thermistors that have a
nominal resistance of 200 kΩ at 25°C. When a thermistor temperature reaches 100°C, the resistance
will be 11 kΩ or less. The voltage applied through 8-channel multiplexer U2 to microcontroller U12
will exceed U12's internal alarm threshold. A logic 'high' Pwr Supply Inhibit A (P1-31) or Pwr Supply
Inhibit B (P1-19) signal will be generated, which is applied to the ac-dc power stage to inhibit the
associated power supply module. A dc voltage, proportional to the module temperature, is applied to
the INTAKE TEMP (TP18) or EXHAUST TEMP (TP2) test point, which are available on the module's
front panel. These voltages will be approximately 0.8 V at 25°C and will be approximately 3.9 V at
100 C.
The RF drive signal is passed through the module splitter PWB to the IPA PA (A9). The IPA PA
output is then applied to the combiner PWB (A12), where the RF drive is split into two equal signals.
For each of the signals applied, the module splitter PWB provides four equal amplitude PA Drive
signals to drive the eight PAs. For final combining purposes, half of the PA Drive signals are in phase
quadrature (90° out of phase) with the other drive signals. The PA outputs are applied to the
combiner PWB.
Combiner PWB
See Figures SD-22 and SD-23. The combiner PWB (A12) performs the initial stage of splitting of the
RF drive signal within each RF power module. It also combines the PA outputs to provide the final
RF output for each RF power module.
The output of the IPA PA PWB (A9) is applied to hybrid splitter U1 on the combiner PWB. U1 splits
the IPA PA output into two equal amplitude, phase quadrature (90° out of phase) drive signals for the
module splitter PWB (A11). A short section of micro-strip transmission line is in close proximity to
the IPA PA output signal. Due to the proximity and orientation to the micro-strip, an RF voltage
representative of the IPA output is induced in a power probe circuit. The IPA output signal is peak
detected by CR1, C1, R13 and associated components and applied to the IPA Pwr Sample output
(terminals A/B). The sample is applied to monitoring and protection circuits in the module interface
PWB and the control/monitor stage.
The outputs of the PA PWBs (A1 through A8) are applied to two combiner/impedance matching
networks comprised of coaxial cables and reject load resistors. These networks provide two equal
amplitude, phase quadrature (90° out of phase) amplified signals that are applied to a hybrid
combiner. The signals are combined at the hybrid combiner’s Comb RF Out output. Any amplitude
imbalances between the inputs causes a proportional signal to be applied to the Reject Load output.
Short sections of micro-strip transmission line are in close proximity to the combined RF output and
reject load output. Due to the proximity and orientation to the micro-strips, RF voltages
representative of the combined forward power, combined reflected power, and reject power are
induced in power probe circuits. The Fwd Pwr Sample, Refld Pwr Sample and Rej Pwr Sample signals are
applied to monitoring and protection circuits in the module interface PWB.
Parts information
This section contains reference designation lists that provide descriptive and provisioning
information for all electrical and mechanical parts that have an assigned reference designation and
form a part of the subject equipment.
Family tree
Figure 3.1 depicts the family tree for the subject equipment. It is based on the descending order of
the reference designation hierarchy and identifies all assemblies that have an assigned Nautel
configuration control number.
• Follow the family tree branches to the block that represents the lowest level assembly
assigned a Nautel configuration control number. Then locate the part number index table for
that Nautel configuration control number.
• cable harnesses that are assigned a numbered Nautel part (e.g., 206-8402)
To obtain the full reference designation for a specific part the Nautel configuration control number
must be located in the family tree (Figure 3.1) to include the reference designation of all higher level
assemblies. The reference designation lists, which are titled and presented in alphanumeric order, are
divided into columns to aid in locating specific information.
Column content
The following paragraphs provide an explanation of the purpose and contents of each column in the
part number indexes.
Description column
This column contains the name and descriptive information for each part. The key word is presented
first, followed by the adjective identifiers. When the description is 'See Family Tree for Assembly
Nomenclature', the associated part is subject to its own part index table or is contained in an optional
kit's list. Look up the reference designation list title (nomenclature) and the reference designation of
the associated part in the family tree (Figure 3.1) to determine where to locate its part information.
Nautel # column
This column contains the Nautel number assigned to each part. This number is Nautel's drawing
number for Nautel manufactured parts, Nautel's configuration control number for assemblies that
are under configuration control management, or Nautel's inventory management number for
purchased parts. When a Nautel configuration control number (e.g. NAPC*) is referenced in this
column, the associated ref des item is subject to its own part index table.
Vendor # column
This column contains an original equipment manufacturer's part number for a part. A single part
number is listed for each part, even though there may be more than one known manufacturer. The
listed number is Nautel's usual or preferred choice. The use of this number does not restrict Nautel

The logic symbols used on electrical schematics and logic diagrams are in accordance with American
National Standard ANSI Y32.14-1975 - Graphic Symbols for Logic Diagrams.
Reference designations
Referenced designations were assigned in accordance with American National Standard ANSI
Y32.16-1975 - Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronic Parts and Equipment.
Each electrical symbol is identified with its basic reference designation. To obtain the full reference
designation for a specific part, prefix this basic identifier with the reference designation assigned to all
higher assemblies. For example, the complete designation for a resistor (R1) on a printed wiring board
(A1), that is part of a larger board (A2), would be A2A1R1.
Unique symbols
Nautel uses unique symbols on electrical schematics to describe logic (two-state) signals. These
signals differ from single-state signals or analog signals that may have multiple values.
The suffix on an input or output signal name identifies the active (true) state of the signal. The high
suffix (+) indicates the more positive of the two levels used to represent the logic states. The low suffix
(-) indicates the less positive of the two levels.
Two types of logic, positive and negative, may be represented on a particular schematic. In positive
logic, high represents the active (true) state, and low represents the inactive (false) state. In negative
logic, low represents the active (true) state, and high represents the inactive (false) state.
Structure of schematics
The electrical schematics are structured in a hierarchical format that is based on function and signal
flow. Wherever practical, the signal flow is from left to right. Normally, inputs originate on the left-
hand side and outputs extend to the right-hand side. Exceptions are shown by an arrow indicating the
direction of signal flow.
Note: The physical location of a part or assembly was not necessarily a factor during creation of the
schematic. The full reference designation assigned to a part or assembly, in conjunction with the family
tree (see Section 3, “Parts Lists” on page 3-1) and the assembly detail drawings (see Section
6, “Mechanical Drawings” on page 6-1), will identify its location.
Figures SD-1 through SD-9 identify each major stage and its detailed interconnection. Each stage
contains cross-references that identify which blocks are the signal sources for inputs, or the
destinations for outputs.
When a sub-function is treated as a block in figures SD-1 through SD-9, its detailed circuit
information is included in its own schematic drawing(s), which is also included in this section.
1. When a functional block is assigned a reference designation (e.g., A2A1), refer to the family
trees in Section 3, “Parts Lists” on page 3-1. Follow the family tree branches to the block that
contains the desired reference designation, and associated Nautel nomenclature (e.g.,
NAPI104/03 Power Module Interface PWB). Note the reference designations and Nautel
nomenclatures of all higher assemblies in the path.
Example: A18 NAA56/01A RF Power Module > A18A10 NAPI104/03 Power Module
Interface PWB.
2. Refer to Table 5.1 on page 5-5 and use the reference designation and Nautel nomenclature to
identify the appropriate schematic diagram(s).
Example: NAPI104/03 Power Module Interface PWB is shown on schematics SD-25
through SD-27.
3. If necessary, refer to the referenced figure (e.g., SD-#) in the schematics at the end of this
section and locate the next, lower-level assembly. Then, repeat this procedure until the
desired schematic diagram is found.
Note: Full reference designations contain the assembly hierarchical coding. When the end item is
divided into units (cabinets), the first coding is a unit number (1, 2, 3, etc.). When the end item is
divided into assemblies, the first coding is an assembly number (A1, A2, A3, etc.). If a unit or an
assembly is divided into sub-assemblies, assembly coding that identifies assembly relationship (1A1,
A2A1, A2A1A1, etc.) is added.
2. Follow the family tree branches to the block that contains the desired reference designation,
while noting the Nautel nomenclatures and names of all higher assemblies in the path.
Example: A18 NAA56/01A RF Power Module > A18A10 NAPI104/03 Power Module
Interface PWB.
Note: The drawings in the Mechanical Drawings section depict the assembly detail of the
transmitter and its modules and assemblies.
3. Refer to Table 6.1 in Section 6, “Mechanical Drawings” on page 6-1. Use the Nautel
nomenclature and name of each family tree block in the path, starting at the highest assembly
– this is normally Figure MD-1 – to determine the figure number(s) for that assembly.
Example: NAPI104/03 Power Module Interface PWB is shown on MD-16.
4. Refer to the referenced figure (e.g., MD-16) in Section 6.1, “List of Mechanical Drawings” on
page 6-2 to locate the desired part or assembly.

Assembly detail drawings for assemblies and modules that have separate manuals are not included.
Refer to the appropriate maintenance manual for the assembly detail of these assemblies.
When a module or assembly is the subject of its own assembly detail drawing, and it is also shown in
a higher level assembly, the detail depicted in the higher level assembly may have minor differences
from the module or assembly actually installed. In this case, always refer to the assembly detail
drawing of the module or assembly for detailed information.
1. When a part or assembly is assigned a reference designation (e.g., A2A1 or A2A1R1), refer to
the family trees in Section 3, “Parts Lists” on page 3-1. Follow the family tree branches to the
block that contains the desired reference designation and Nautel nomenclature (e.g.,
NAPI104/03 Power Module Interface PWB). Note the reference designations and Nautel
nomenclatures of all higher assemblies in the path.
Example: A18 NAA56/01A RF Power Module > A18A10 NAPI104/03 Power Module
Interface PWB.
2. Refer to Table 6.1 on page 6-2. Use the reference designation and Nautel nomenclature to
identify the appropriate mechanical drawing.
Example: NAPI104/03 Power Module Interface PWB is shown on schematics MD-16.
3. If necessary, refer to the referenced figure (e.g., MD-16) in the mechanical drawings at the
end of this section and locate the next, lower-level assembly. Then, repeat this procedure
until the desired part or assembly is found.

AUI. The Advanced User Interface is the 17-inch front panel that allows for extensive control and
monitoring of the transmitter.
Cutback. A reduction in RF output power, caused by the occurrence of multiple shutbacks within a
pre-defined period.
Foldback. A reduction in RF output power, caused by adverse load conditions (high VSWR). No
shutbacks or cutbacks have occurred.
HD Radio. High Definition (HD) Radio is another term for In-Band-On-Channel (IBOC)
technology. HD Radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital Corporation.
IBOC. Nautel In-Band-On-Channel technology provides high quality digital audio over existing FM
radio channels.
Intermediate Power Amplifier (IPA). Refers to circuitry within the transmitter’s RF power
modules which amplifies the exciter's RF output to a level sufficient to drive the final RF amplifiers.
Preset. A setting that controls power level, frequency and audio parameters. The NV40/NV30
allows you to pre-program multiple presets.
SBC. Single Board Computer. Refers to the CPU and associated components located on the back of
the transmitter’s front door.
Shutback. A complete, but temporary loss of RF output power, caused by any one of a variety of
faults, including high VSWR, high reject load power, RF drive failure, or an open external interlock.
Shutdown. A complete and permanent loss of RF output power. Typically follows repeated
cutback, foldback or shutback events.
Surge protection panel. An electrical panel that protects equipment from electrical surges in the
ac power supply, antenna or site ground caused by lightning strikes.
VSWR. Voltage standing wave ratio. This is an expression of the ratio of forward voltage to reverse
voltage on the feedline and antenna system. An ideal VSWR of 1:1 provides maximum transmitter-
antenna efficiency.
