In maintaining the equipment covered in this manual, please keep in mind the following, standard good
practices:
o At regular intervals, the condition of the equipment and the correct functioning of protective and
safety devices shall be checked by a skilled person approved by the appropriate authority for this
duty.
▪ Functional checks shall be carried out on interlocking systems of doors, mechanical interlocks,
isolating switches, earthing switches, parallel resistances and protective devices against over-
voltages and over-currents.
▪ The above checks shall not be carried out after the protective and safety devices have
operated under fault conditions.
▪ The safety devices shall not be altered or disconnected except for replacement, nor shall the
safety circuit be modified without specific approval of the appropriate authority in each case.
o When connecting any instrument (wattmeter, spectrum analyzer, etc.) to a high frequency
output, use the appropriate attenuator or dummy load to protect the final amplifiers and the
instrument input.
o When inserting or removing printed circuit boards (PCBs), cable connectors, or fuses, always turn
off power to the affected portion of the equipment.
o After power is removed, allow sufficient time for the power supplies to bleed down before
reinserting PCBs.
o When troubleshooting, remember that FETs and other metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices
may appear defective because of leakage between traces or component leads on the printed
circuit board.
o Clean the printed circuit board and recheck the MOS device before assuming it is defective.
o When replacing MOS devices, follow standard practices to avoid damage caused by static charges
and soldering.
o When removing components from PCBs (particularly ICs), use care to avoid damaging PCB traces.

ISO 9001:2015

1.4 Procedure for establish the absence of voltage


Follow these simple steps for establish the absence of voltage:
o Before starting work on the equipment, it shall be isolated from the mains supply.
▪ This disconnection shall always be checked by visual inspection.
▪ Further precautions shall be taken to ensure that the mains supply cannot be restored whilst
work is being carried out.
▪ After the mains supply has been disconnected, all other lines such as control, interlocking and
modulation lines shall be disconnected if they carry dangerous voltages.
▪ Moreover, the antenna or the antenna transmission line shall be disconnected from the
antenna terminal device to prevent the introduction of dangerous voltages due to antenna
pick-up.If disconnection of the antenna or antenna transmission line is not possible, other
suitable precautions shall be taken, for example, earthing, when necessary at several places,
to esablish absence of voltage.
▪ These earthing connections shall be very short compared with the wave-lenght.
o Capacitors which are connected to a circuir isolated from its supply shall be discharged and have
their terminals permanently short-circuited and the casing earthed during the whole period of the
work.
o The electrical charge retained by electrical machinery when stopped may, in certain cases, be
sufficient to cause a severe shock.
▪ This shall be taken into account when making connections to an apparently "dead" machine.
▪ Therefore all machinery shall be discharged and earthed using an adequately insulated lead
for this purpose.
▪ The discharge operation shall be repeated several times.
o Before any maintenance work is carried out on automatic or remote controlled equipment, the
remote swithching circuits shall be made inoperative.

1.4.1 Procedure for determination of the absence of voltage


After the equipment has been isolated according to the standard EN60215, the absence of voltage shall
be determined at the work place.
This may be done by the use of voltage indicators, measuring instruments, glow discharge lamps for
indicating radio-frequency voltage or other suitable means.

ISO 9001:2015

1.5 First aid in case of electrical shock


If someone seems unable to free himself while receiving an electric shock, turn power off before
rendering aid.
A muscular spasm or unconsciousness can make a victim unable to free himself from the electrical
power.

DO NOT TOUCH VICTIM OR HIS CLOTHING BEFORE


POWER IS DISCONNECTED OR YOU CAN ALSO BECOME
A SHOCK VICTIM

If power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a length of dry non-conducting material
(such as a rope, insulating material, or clothing) around the victim and pull him free of the power.
Carefully avoid touching him or his clothing until free of power.

1.5.1 Emergency resuscitation technique

Step 1
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, immediately call for
medical assistance, and then return to the person.

Step 2
Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and place one hand on the
forehead and the other under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin until teeth
almost touch. Look and listen for breathing.

Step 3
If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours. Give two
full breaths. The person's chest will rise if you are giving enough air.

Step 4
Put the fingertips of your hand on the Adam's apple, slide them into the groove next
to the windpipe. Feel for a pulse. If you can not feel a pulse or are unsure, move on to
the next step.

Step 5
Position your hands in the center of the chest between the nipples. Place one hand on
top of the other.

Step 6
Push down firmly two inches. Push on chest 15 times.

CONTINUE WITH TWO BREATHS AND 15 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.

2 Technical Data
FM EXCITER GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MOZART NEXT FM transmitter is the NEXT generation of FM transmitters coming from the well known
MOZART series improved with a new technology to handle the audio signals and a new software for the
internal logic. All these improvements are specifically implemented to grant a simplified internal design
and a better GUI interface.
This new concept is integrated with power supply plug-in modules for transmitters with output power
higher than 1000W: these PSUs can be safely removed from the front panel without interrupting the
transmission. In this way it is possible to have:
• Easy Maintenance, without off-air
• Instant replacement of the power supplies
• Maximum Redundancy
• Uninterrupted service
The units with plug-in power supplies are realized with the Automatic Current Sharing (ACS) technology,
the Automatic Current balancing System which allows perfect load distribution and so best power supplies
operating conditions. This technology increases the efficiency of the amplification part reducing the
dimensions and power consumption without modifying the quality of the transmission.
Due to optimized ACS system, there is an extremely low output power loss in case of power supply failure.
In dual power supply configuration for Mozart NEXT 2000 for example, the power loss in case of one power
supply failure will be less than 35% or even 0%.

For all Mozart NEXT models, a user friendly front panel interface (display) offers a very easy method to
control the Mozart NEXT main parameters with a metering accuracy that helps the user to install the unit
and check its status even in case he doesn’t have expensive test equipment.

In case of fault of the unit or antenna system, the protection system lowers automatically the output
power (Foldback), in order to bring back the operating conditions to a safe area without causing a system
shut down, and it indicates on the front panel display the alarm message.

The protection system reduces or stops the output power in case of:
- V.S.W.R. too high.
- Heatsink temperature too high or cooling stop (OVER HEAT).
- Missing Enable command (in case of combination with external units like control logic units)

The switch-mode power supply is largely oversized and guarantees a regular operation even in the
presence of wide main voltage fluctuations.
The systems cooling grants a safe operation even in hard climatic conditions.

0001010000_02_01EN Page 2-6


MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
• Reduced maintenance. Easy accessibility of all parts, very high MTBF for RF and power supply
modules, are only some of the characteristics that explain the very high reduction of maintenance
costs obtained.
• Very small dimensions and low weight, reduce transport costs and simplifying the logistic.
• High frequency stability, in short and long terms.
• Switch-mode power supply with power factor control. Highly efficient and widely over-rated power
supply modules insure low heating, low AC power consumption and superior reliability. The power
factor control circuitry allows to meet all the international requirements for mains network
disturbances.
• High efficiency cooling system. The air cooling system limits the heatsink temperature rise to only
about 10°C above ambient temperature. This assures the transmitter ability to properly operate even
in high ambient temperature sites with hard climate conditions.
• Meets or exceeds all the international standards for safety and electrical specifications.

MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHTS


• Protection against shocks: Mechanically sturdy to prevents damage to connectors, fans, and all the
parts that typically may be damaged during transport or installation.
• AAD Technology prevents the corrosion produced by the air and increase the reliability
• The construction is totally in aluminum.
• The air is ducted to reduce the electronic boards‘contact.
• The electronic boards are tropicalized with a special resin to protect the circuits against salt
air.

AUDIO HIGHLIGHTS
• STEREO GENERATOR: High performance built-in digital stereo coder provides separation typical>65dB
• Signal/noise ratio >80dB assures the highest audio quality.
• Input sensitivity and output deviation adjustable with high precision of 0.1dB through display
interface or remotely by WEB.
• The level of the Pilot tone adjustable from the front panel and Web interface
• Limiter keeps the maximum frequency deviation within international requirements to avoid over-
modulation and adjacent channels invasion, the limiter levels can be set from the front panel.

0001010000_02_01EN Page 2-7


HUMAN INTERFACE AND CONNECTIVITY AND WEB REMOTE CONTROL
All parameters can be displayed and set by front panel or from Web interface.
All the series shares the same human interface:
• Four arrows keys, OK key, ESC key, direct function push buttons (ON/OFF, Local/Remote, Reset
Alarms)
• Working parameters leds:
✓ Audio Status:
✓ RDS/AUX input signal present
✓ Audio presence on the input (Left or Right)
✓ Limiter inserted
✓ Pre-emphasis inserted
✓ MPX input signal active
✓ AES/EBU input signal active
✓ STEREO operation with internal stereo coder
✓ AoIP input signal active
✓ MONO operations
• Control Status
✓ Interlock
✓ PLL lockedFull control of the transmission and modulation parameters

Latest WEB interface: TCP/IP Remote control WEB Server SNMP (v2c), with INFORMS/TRAPS, DHCP, FTP,
TELNET for full remote control system.
The IP address can be easily read on the front panel.
The firmware is remotely upgradable with an easy procedure available on the WEB interface without the
need for proprietary tools.
Every alarm event is displayed on the frontal panel, up to 200 events are displayed on a history menu
available on front panel display and on the LOG file available on the web page. The LOG file can be
downloaded to a PC in a simple text format.
Possibility to save and recall of up to 6 transmitter configurations: all working parameters can be saved
and exported to a PC and subsequently downloaded to the same transmitter or to another one.
Parallel Remote Control Connector Interface with Dry contact relays outputs and Opto-isolator inputs.
RS 485 Interface (for internal use).

0001010000_02_01EN Page 2-8


HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PROTECTIONS
Software algorithms and hardware circuits provide intelligent protections that reduce the output power
without any on-air service interruption, keeping the transmitting system always within the safe operating
parameters in the event of:
• Load mismatching
• Environmental over-temperature
• Cooling failure
• Failure in power supply
Fast Hardware protections prevents hardware failures in case of very fast events that can damage the
transmitter.
The transmitter has two software levels of reflected power alarms: a Warning and a Failure Level.

• AUDIO filters: they remove undesiderable components on audio input signals.
• STEREO encoder: it performs the coding of the LEFT / RIGHT signals.
• RF Oscillator: it generates the frequency required for the conversion operations.
• Clipped & POST filter functions: using the cropping function these filters allow the
reduction of the high peaks in audio signals.
• FM modulator: it performs the analog modulation of the signal.

The unit also includes an RF power section that can be composed by only one module or more
modules coupled together depending on the Mozart NEXT transmitter. In some of the units a driver
amplifier is present to pilot the RF power section with the correct level.

REMOTE I/O CONNECTOR PINOUT
The Remote I/O is an interface that provides the DB25 connector REMOTE to monitor and control the unit
through digital signals. The available signals are indicated in the table here below.
The particular unit state is verified if there is a short-circuit between the relative Tele Signal pin and the Common
pin (pin 20).
To send a command to the unit (only in remote state) it is necessary a short-circuit between the dedicated Tele
Command pin and GND for at least 100ms.

3 Installation
3.1 Installation Procedure.
Use the following specifications to establish criteria for site selection and equipment installation.

3.1.1 Unpacking.
The equipment becomes the property of the customer when the equipment is delivered to the carrier.
If there is any external damage to the containers, inform the shipping company and request that an
agent be present during unpacking. Accept with reserve the package so any claim for damaged
equipment will be accepted from the carrier.
Carefully unpack the boxes (no special instructions are required) and note any damage. All shipping
materials should be retained until it is determined that the unit has not been damaged.
After all items are unpacked, check the equipment received.
If there are any damages or shortages, notify the carrier and DB Elettronica Telecomunicazioni SpA
immediately.

3.1.2 Mounting Specifications.


Use the following criteria for site selection and equipment installation:
• Mount.
o A floor-standing, open rack or permanent structure with vertical mounting elements
conforming to EIA Standard 310 is recommended.
• Environment.
o Refer to Technical Data chapter.
• Clearance.
o No clearance is required for sides.
o Access to the rear requires approximately 15 centimeters clearance for making
connections.
CAUTION: Before switch the equipment on, ensure that all RF Loads, RF cables and connectors are
properly connected. To prevent damage to the amplifier boards, it is essential that either the feeder and
antenna system or the dummy load have a good in band return loss.
Failure to observe the above caution and also the installation instructions of this transmitter may cause
damages to the amplifier boards for which the supplier cannot be considered responsible.

0001010000_03_02EN Page 3-6


3.1.3 Mounting Operation.
Install the device in an EIA (Standard 310) 19 inch rack as follows:
• Place the equipment into the rack, align the mounting holes, and secure in place with four rack
screws.
• In case it is not installed in a rack, check the structure is stable, permanent and that the
equipment is placed in horizontal position.

Figure 1 Mozart NEXT – How to position the equipment

• On each cable a label is present; on the rear panel a label is present over each connector: please
follow the labels for the correct connections.

3.1.4 Thermic and Environmental conditions


A too high environmental temperature (in any case not higher than 45°C) shall cause a non-adequate
rack cooling putting the equipment in hard working conditions.
An air conditioner should be installed to keep the room temperature constant even in case of external
temperature variation.

5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
The following instructions help in the execution of normal service operation and solving troubles in
order to restore the normal work condition of transmitter.

5.1 Air filters cleaning


For providing required cooling airflow keep clean the frontal air grid. Check periodically that filters are
free from any obstruction or dust.

Figure 1 Frontal Air Grid

The standard filter is installed externally to the unit, to clean it:


1) Remove the 2 front Allen screws.

Figure 2 Front panel Allen screws

2) Remove the front panel grid and extract the foam filter inside.
3) Clean the air filter with compressed air (don’t use water) or substitute it if it appears damaged.
4) Remount the air filter in the original position.
5) Reinstall the frontal grid panel and secure it with the Allen screws.

In case of Mozart NEXT with output power higher than 1000W, the filter is present inside the front
panel: it is sufficient to remove the front panel unscrewing the 4 screws and clean the filter as described
above.
