1.3 Identifying model of transmitter

The age of the unit will determine which portions of instructions will be

necessary during the process of wiring to the motherboard. Crown

Broadcast has made several different versions of motherboards over the

years, so take note of the version being wired.

Most motherboards will have its part number, version and/or date along

the right side or the front edge of the board. Silk-screening was also

used for identi�ication.

In some of the earlier versions, the version revision is part of the foil

pattern along the front edge of the board. All versions will be able to be

used. However, the earlier ones will require some modi�ications to the

wire assemblies before installation as described in detail later.

2.1 – Preparing the unit for installation

The unit will need to be disconnected from the power source and load

and should be on a large �lat surface.

Remove the top cover and screws and set aside.

The RJ-45 cable will need to be installed �irst. This will be installed in

the hole for the tuner antenna connector on the back panel. It will be

labeled [RECEIVER IN].

2.1.1 Modifying a unit with a tuner board

If the unit has a tuner, the tuner antenna connection will need to be

changed to one of the unused BNC connectors that are on the back

panel.

If the unit does not have a tuner, skip to section 2.2.

Carefully remove the “N” style connector from the back panel and cut

the connector off. Strip back the insulation ½” and pull the braid back

from one side and twist together as shown below.

10

If the composite connector will not be used, unsolder the wires from

that connector and ty-wrap to the others as shown below. Then solder

the tuner input wires that were prepared to the connector as shown

below.

11

If the composite connector will be used, the only other choice of

connectors will be one of the three used for SCA inputs. It is

recommended to use the farthest one from the tuner to avoid

interference with the cabling installation later. This will require that the

SCA board be removed and the parts associated with this connector be

removed as well. Then, the antenna input wire can be soldered directly

to the board once re-installed as shown below.

2.2 Chassis and board mounting

2.2.1 Mounting the RJ-45 into the chassis

A) Locate the black colored hole plug on the back panel under the

label [RECEIVER IN] and remove it.

B) Use a 1/8” drill bit and drill two holes centered exactly 0.175”

from the edge of the hole to the left and right of the hole, centered

vertically to the hole as shown below.

C) These two holes will match the mounting holes contained on

the RJ-45 cable assembly.

D) Clean up any extra metal shavings that may have fallen into the

unit with a vacuum.

2.2.2 Installing the power connections

Obtain the power wire assembly with the extra header.

For motherboard revision level of 2007:

A) Using solder wick (or your preferred method to remove solder),

remove the solder in the holes of J27, along the front edge of the

motherboard.

B) Remove front panel assembly (two screws along top left and right

corners and 4 screws along the bottom of the front panel).

Remove the 3 cables that attach to the front panel boards. It is not

necessary to disconnect the Power wires from the switches.

C) Install the header onto the motherboard at location J27 - soldering

in place.

D) Replace front panel assembly.

corners and 4 screws along the bottom of the front panel). Remove

the 3 cables that attach to the front panel boards. It is not necessary

to disconnect the Power wires from the switches.

B) Unsolder and remove TP2 and TP5 along the front edge of the

motherboard.

C) Remove the solder from these two points.

D) On the power wire, cut one connector off as close to the connector as

possible (black and red wires).

E) Strip and tin the two open wires.

F) Solder the black wire to TP5 (ground).

10. Care should be taken to avoid melting R67, which is next to the

point of soldering.

D) Solder the red wire to the control/metering board at J1 pins 3 and 4.

Care should be taken to ensure proper soldering with no shorts to

adjacent pads (pins 1 and 2 as well as pins 5 and 6).
