Section 3Operation
This section provides general operating parameters of your
transmitter system and a detailed description of the front panel
displays.
Operation 31
3.1 Initial Power-up Procedures
These steps summarize the operating procedures you should use for the initial
operation of the power amplifier and power supply. More detailed information
follows.
1. Ensure that the external remote control unit is properly connected to the
transmitter controller port A (see illustration 2-15, Section 2.5, page 25
for proper pin configuration).
2. Connect Antenna feed-line to the output of the Low Pass Filter.

select switch Power control
RF Power (KW) Power control Local Enable switch
Illustration 3-1 Transmitter Controller Front Panel Controls
3. Locate the Remote/Local switch and select "Local". Verify the Local Enable
switch is in the "0" position (indicating OFF) and that the enable LED is OFF.
4. Locate the Exciter (Crown FM250) and be certain that the Power and Carrier
switches are ON as well as the breaker on the back of the unit. Refer to Low
Power Manual FM30 - FM500 for further instructions.
5. Locate Fwd/Refl power select switch and verify it is in Fwd position. The
Green LED will indicate the proper position once power is ON.
6. Apply AC power to cabinet.
7. Adjust the RF output power on the exciter (Crown FM250) for 250 - 275 watts.
SPECIAL NOTE : This system is not a drive dependent amplifier design;

therefore drive level must remain constant regardless of main output level. Use
remote control to raise and lower RF output power, not the RF output level of the
driver.
Note: The FM10000 is set for 10000 watts at 98MHz at the factory unless a
specific frequency or power is specified at the time of order.
8. Enable the RF power by moving the "Local Enable" to the 'up' position. This
should be indicated with a RED LED below the switch.

Note : If no RF power is achieved, check the DPM display for a flashing dot in the
lower right corner of the display. If this is present, the system needs to be reset
before power can be restored. Refer to illustration 2-15, section 2.5, Remote I/O
connections pin 3 of Port A for further information.
9. Using the 'raise/lower RF power' buttons, raise or lower the RF power to the
desired setting (unless the power was specified at time of order).
10. Use the 'Fwd/Rev' selector switch to check for reflected power on antenna
feed-line if desired.
11. Use the PA1 through PA5 power controls to limit the amount of power output
the transmitter can achieve. The FM10000 is set to limit at 11000 watts in the
preset condition. For settings lower than this, adjust each PA control counter-
clockwise in small equal increments to the desired level. For a more secure
method, use the power set control located behind each front panel of each PA. The
settings on the individual PA's are unconventional in that a lowering of power is
achieved by adjusting the control clockwise.
The remainder of this section describes the controller and its functions.
3.2 AC Power Switch
The Transmitter Controller's AC power is controlled by a switch located on

the AC input filter. The AC input range is 100-250 VAC. The fuse type and
size are 3AGC at 1/2 amp slo-blo and there are 2 fuses. See illustration 3-2
for switch location.

Operation 33
3.3 Front Panel Controls and Display
Refer to illustration 3-1 for additional information when going through section 3.3.
3.3.1 Remote/Local Switch
The Remote/Local switch is used to be able to 'break' the interlock line from the
remote control unit to allow for local control of the High Voltage supply that
feeds the PA's. It has a green LED which illuminates when the switch is in the
remote position (allowing for control via remote control unit) and a red LED
which will illuminate when the switch is in the local position (disabling the
remote control from turning on the high voltage). See illustration 3-3.
Illustration 3-3 Remote/Local and Local Enable switches with indicators
3.3.2 Local Enable Switch
The Local Enable Switch is used to enable the high voltage supply for the PA's
when the Transmitter Controller is in the 'Local' mode. The switch in the ON
position (up, or 1) will enable the supplies and illuminate the red indicator
LED. The switch in the OFF position (down, or 0) will disable the supplies and
extinguish the red LED. See illustration 3-3.

3.3.3 Transmitter RF Power Control
The Transmitter Controller has the ability to internally set the maximum RF output
power for the 10000 watt system using the power control setting for each PA. These
controls are located behind the front panel and have an access hole in front of each
control. A small flat blade screwdriver is needed to adjust each control. For
maximum output level, these controls need to be set fully Clock-wise. Adjust the
controls for each PA separately (PA1 thru PA5) in small steps (less than 300 watts
difference) to prevent any unnecessary VSWR problems to the other amplifiers (the
ones not being adjusted). These controls will effect the final RF output power that
the remote control can adjust to. Whatever these are set for as a maximum level, that
level is all the higher the remote control will be able to set the power to. See
illustration 3-4 for location of these controls.
Illustration 34 Power Control Adjustment location
3.3.4 Raise/Lower RF Power Control

The Transmitter Controller has the ability to Raise or Lower the RF Power in
small increments using the control switches on the front panel. Refer to
illustration 3-4 for the location of these controls. To raise the power, depress
the switch under the "Raise" label. Press and hold this switch to change the
power in 200 watts/second increments. Pressing once should only change the
power 20 - 30 watts. To lower the power, depress the switch under the "Lower"
label. Press and hold this switch to change the power in 200 watts/second
increments. Pressing this switch once will change the power 20 - 30 watts.
Both switches are momentary contact type switches and parallel the remote
control for Raising and Lowering power via Port A on the back of the unit. A
remote control unit is not required for this operation. These controls will
change the RF output power on all PA's simultaneously, reducing the need for
separate controls for each PA.
Operation 35
3.3.5 RF power reading and selector switch
The Transmitter Controller has a digital panel meter which displays Forward RF
Power and Reverse RF Power as detected by the RF power sampler built into the
output combiner. The reading on the display is determined by the setting of the
selector switch and accompanying green LED indicator. The readings are in
Kilowatts and have an accuracy of better that 2% at the specified RF level and
frequency at the time of order. However, it is recommended that an external watt
meter be used for a more accurate reading. See illustration 3-5 for the location of the
panel meter and selector switch with accompanying green LED indicators.
Illustration 3-5 RF Power Reading and Selector Switch

3.4 Rear Panel connections
The Transmitter Controller has several types of connections on the rear panel of the
unit. The following will describe each type and what it is used for. See illustration
3-6 for location of each connector. Refer to Section 2.4.5 illustrations 2-15, 2-16
and 2-17 for detailed descriptions of each applicable remote control connector.
Illustration 3-6 Rear panel connections
3.4.1 DB-25
There are six (three, dual vertically stacked) DB-25 female connectors on the back of
the Transmitter Controller. PA1 thru PA5 are what is used to connect to the DB-25
remote I/O on the back of each PA. These are pre-wired in the cabinet.
The connector labeled I/O Port A is used for the Remote Interface and has the final
output metering information as well as the system controls for power control and high
voltage control. It also contains information for PA5. See illustration 2-15 on page
2-5 for a detailed description of what each pin is used for.
3.4.2 DB-37
There are two (one, dual vertically stacked) DB-37 female connectors on the back
of the Transmitter Controller. Port B is used for a remote monitor and has all the
metering channels found on both PA1 and PA2 routed to this connector.
Port C has the information from PA3 and PA4. See illustration 2-16 and 2-17 on
page 2-6 and 2-7 respectively, for a detailed description of what each pin is used for.
3.4.3 DB-9
There is one DB-9 female connector and one DB-9 male connector (vertically
stacked) on the back of the Transmitter Controller. The port labeled Directional
Coupler is used to provide a supply voltage to the temperature sensor located
inside the connector shell attached to this port which in turn provides an internal
cabinet temperature reading available on I/O port A. The port labeled Power
control is connected to the power supply located in the bottom of the cabinet. This
port has the control signals necessary for the power supply to operate.
Operation 3-7
3.4.4 BNC Connectors
The Transmitter Controller has provisions for two BNC connectors on the back
panel labeled Fwd and Rev. Both of these connectors are used in the FM10000 to
receive DC voltage readings from the directional coupler located internal to the
output combiner.
3.4.5 Chassis Ground
The Transmitter Controller has a provision to connect the chassis to the cabinet
ground. A ground strap is pre-wired to the chassis ground.

Glossary
The following pages define terms and abbreviations used
throughout this and other Crown Broadcast manuals.
Glossary G1
A B C
AF Audio Frequency; the frequencies between 20 Hz
and 20 kHz in the electromagnetic spectrum.
ALC Automatic Level Control
AM Amplitude Modulation; the process of impressing

information on a radio-frequency signal by varying
its amplitude.
bandwidth The range of frequencies available for signalling.
BCD Binary-Coded Decimal; a digital system that uses

binary codes to represent decimal digits.
BFO Beat Frequency Oscillator
BNC A bayonet locking connector for miniature coax;

said to be short for Bayonet-Neill-Concelman.
broadband As used in the FM transmitter, refers to the entire

audio spectrum as opposed to the spectrum influ-
enced by the pre-emphasis; also called "Wideband."
carrier A continuous signal which is modulated with a

second, information-carrying signal.
crosstalk In FM broadcasting, this term generally refers to

the interaction between the main (L+R) and the
subcarrier (LR) signals as opposed to "separation"
which generally refers to leakage between left (L)
and right (R) channels.
density (program) A high average of modulation over time.
deviation The amount by which the carrier frequency

changes either side of the center frequency.
DIP Dual In-line Package; term used to describe an IC

or socket that has two parallel rows of pins.
distortion The unwanted changes in signal wave shape that

occur during transmission between two points.
DPM Digital Panel Meter
EPROM Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
ESD Electrostatic Discharge; a discharge that is poten-

tially distructive to sensitive electronic compo-
nents.

exciter (1) A circuit that supplies the initial oscillator used
in the driver stage. (2) A transmitter configuration
which excludes stereo generation and audio
processing.
FET Field-Effect Transistor
frequency synthesizer A circuit that generates precise frequency signals

by means of a single crystal oscillator in conjunc-
tion with frequency dividers and multipliers.
FM Frequency Modulation; the process of impressing

information on a radio signal by varying its fre-
quency.
FSK Frequency Shift Keying; an FM technique for

shifting the frequency of the main carrier at a
Morse code rate. Used in the on-air identification
of frequencies.
gain reduction The process of reducing the gain of a given ampli-

fier.
harmonics Undesirable energy at integral multiples of a

desired, fundamental frequency.
HF High Frequency; Frequencies in the 3.0 to 30.0

MHz range.
Highband Frequencies affected by the pre-emphasis.

LED Light-Emitting Diode
modulation The process by which a carrier is varied to repre-

sent an information-carrying signal.
MOSFET Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor;

a voltage-controlled device with high input imped-
ance due to its electrically isolated gate.
nearcast A transmission within a localized geographic area

(ranging from a single room to a several kilome-
ters).
PA Power Amplifier
Glossary G3
A B C
PAI Power Amplifier Current
PAV Power Amplifier Voltage
pilot A 19kHz signal used for stereo transmissions.
pre-emphasis The deliberate accentuation of the higher audio

frequencies; made possible by a high-pass filter.
processing The procedure and/or circuits used to modify

incoming audio (keeping its level around 75 kHz
deviation) to make it suitable for transmission.
receiver An option which adds incoming RF capability to an

existing transmitter. See also "Translator."
RF Radio Frequency; (1) A specific portion of the

electromagnetic spectrum between audio-fre-
quency and the infrared portion. (2) A frequency
useful for radio transmission (roughly 10 kHz and
100,000 MHz).

"subcarrier."
S/N Signal to Noise
spurious products Unintended signals present on the transmission

output terminal.
stability A tolerance or measure of how well a component,

circuit, or system maintains constant operating
conditions over a period of time.
stereo pilot See "pilot."
stereo separation The amount of left-channel information that bleeds

into the right channel (or vice versa).
subcarrier A carrier signal which operates at a lower fre-

quency than the main carrier frequency and which
modulates the main carrier.
suppression The process used to hold back or stop certain

frequencies.
G4 FM10000 User's Manual

SWR Standing-Wave Ratio; on a transmission line, the
ratio of the maximum voltage to the minimum
voltage or maximum current to the minimum
current; also the ratio of load impedance to in-
tended (50 ohms) load impedance.
THD Total Harmonic Distortion
translator A transmitter designed to internally change an FM

signal from one frequency to another for retrans-
mission. Used in conjunction with terrestrial-fed
networks.
satellator A transmitter equipped with an FSK ID option for

rebroadcasting a satellite-fed signal.
