INTENDED USE

i. The various pieces of equipment in this document are only for use permanently at a pre-defined location with a license or authorisation from the radio spectrum regulator in your country or EU member state.

ii. The installer must have competent RF engineering skills at their disposal, be EMC aware and understand radio frequency systems. The final installation should be in accordance with the site engineering document at https://www.aareff.com/ETR132.pdf The radio station management must assign a responsible person to the transmission equipment and installation.

TRANSMITTER AND CABLE CHECKLIST

Qty	Description	Item

ANTENNA PACKAGE CHECKLIST

All these parts are packed in the carton measuring 17 x 17 x 155 cm (6.75 x 6.75 x 61 inches)

Please go to the 5/8 antenna user manual at aareff.com/58a/en to check all the parts have arrived with you. Then carefully follow the instructions there to install the 5/8 antenna. When this is done return here to this document and continue.

TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY

When this system was ordered, if a specific frequency was given during the order process, then the system will have been set and factory tested at this frequency. If not, or you need to change the frequency or power level please refer to the user manual for 1W PLL FM STEREO DRIVER / EXCITER WITH AUDIO PROCESSING at aareff.com/1wpllsl19

1. Use the supplied M6 screws, nuts, washers and rack rail bars to clamp the Driver (1WPLLB and ALSCB) and the 800W power amplifier together as shown in the picture. The power amplifier is much heavier, so these should be at the bottom. The Driver is light and will suspend in the air and does not need any support at the back.

Alternatively you can mount the units in a professional 19 inch enclosure and integrate the units with other equipment that you have.

6. Connect mains AC power to the 800W amplifier. The driver will lock after a few seconds and amplifiers should indicate power on the front panel meters. The switch on the front panel of the amplifier should be set to ‘FWD’.

7. Finally, provide an audio input to the ALSCB Stereo Generator and Limiters and you are "ON AIR".

IMPORTANT! ALWAYS KEEP THE VENTS AND FANS CLEAR

EQUIPMENT COMPLIANCE (DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY)

European Union

We hereby declare that this equipment complies with;
• ETS 300384 European Telecommunications Harmonised Standard when used with an audio compressor limiter supplied and tested by Aareff
• EN 301489-11 V1.3.1 (2006-05) EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility when used with 1 meter AC mains cord supplied. If the installation engineer needs to extend this cord, this and the audio input cable should be no more than 3 meters in length to remain in compliance with EMC directive.
• 2006/95/EC Directive (2006-12) LVD Low Voltage Directive.

Equipment compliance is possible using equipment from and in conjunction from other manufacturers, but since this is beyond the control of Aareff Systems, Aareff Systems cannot or be expected to guarantee compliance in this situation.
