Returns And Exchanges

Damaged or undamaged equipment should not be returned unless written approval

and a Return Authorisation is received from HARRIS CORPORATION, Broadcast

Communications Division. Special shipping instructions and coding will be

provided to assure proper handling. Complete details regarding circumstances and

reasons for return are to be included in the request for return. Custom equipment or

special order equipment is not returnable. In those instances where return or

exchange of equipment is at the request of the customer, or convenience of the

customer, a restocking fee will be charged. All returns will be sent freight prepaid

and properly insured by the customer. When communicating with HARRIS

CORPORATION, Broadcast Communications Division, specify the HARRIS

Order Number or Invoice Number.

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the equipment and preform a visual inspection to determine that

no apparent damage was incurred during shipment. Retain the shipping materials

until it has been determined that all received equipment is not damaged. Locate and

retain all PACKING CHECK LISTs. Use the PACKING CHECK LIST to help

locate and identify any components or assemblies which are removed for shipping

and must be reinstalled. Also remove any shipping supports, straps, and packing

materials prior to initial turn on.

Guide to Using Harris Parts List Information

The Harris Replaceable Parts List Index portrays a tree structure with the major items being leftmost in the index. The

example below shows the Transmitter as the highest item in the tree structure. If you were to look at the bill of

materials table for the Transmitter you would find the Control Cabinet, the PA Cabinet, and the Output Cabinet. In the

Replaceable Parts List Index the Control Cabinet, PA Cabinet, and Output Cabinet show up one indentation level

below the Transmitter and implies that they are used in the Transmitter. The Controller Board is indented one level

below the Control Cabinet so it will show up in the bill of material for the Control Cabinet. The tree structure of this

same index is shown to the right of the table and shows indentation level versus tree structure level.

Example of Replaceable Parts List Index and equivalent tree structure:

Replaceable Parts List Index Part Number Page

Table 7-1. Transmitter 994 9283 001 7-2

Table 7-2. Control Cabinet 992 9244 002 7-3

Table 7-3. Controller Board 992 8344 002 7-6

Table 7-4. PA Cabinet 992 9400 002 7-7

Table 7-5. PA Amplifier 994 7894 002 7-9

Table 7-6. PA Amplifier Board 992 7904 002 7-10

Table 7-7. Output Cabinet 992 9450 001 7-12

The part number of the item is shown to the right of the description as is the page in the manual where the bill for that

part number starts. Inside the actual tables, four main headings are used:

• Table #-#. ITEM NAME - HARRIS PART NUMBER - this line gives the information that corresponds to the

• Replaceable Parts List Index entry;

• HARRIS P/N column gives the ten digit Harris part number (usually in ascending order);

• DESCRIPTION column gives a 25 character or less description of the part number;

• REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column 1) gives the reference designators for the item (i.e., C001, R102, etc.)

that corresponds to the number found in the schematics (C001 in a bill of material is equivalent to C1 on the sche-

matic) or 2) gives added information or further explanation (i.e., “Used for 208V operation only,” or “Used for HT

10LS only,” etc.).

Inside the individual tables some standard conventions are used:

• A # symbol in front of a component such as #C001 under the REF. SYMBOLS/EXPLANATIONS column means

that this item is used on or with C001 and is not the actual part number for C001.

• In the ten digit part numbers, if the last three numbers are 000, the item is a part that Harris has purchased and has

not manufactured or modified. If the last three numbers are other than 000, the item is either manufactured by Harris

or is purchased from a vendor and modified for use in the Harris product.

• The first three digits of the ten digit part number tell which family the part number belongs to - for example, all elec-

trolytic (can) capacitors will be in the same family (524 xxxx 000). If an electrolytic (can) capacitor is found to have

a 9xx xxxx xxx part number (a number outside of the normal family of numbers), it has probably been modified in

some manner at the Harris factory and will therefore show up farther down into the individual parts list (because

each table is normally sorted in ascending order). Most Harris made or modified assemblies will have 9xx xxxx xxx

numbers associated with them.

The term “SEE HIGHER LEVEL BILL” in the description column implies that the reference designated part number

will show up in a bill that is higher in the tree structure. This is often the case for components that may be frequency

determinant or voltage determinant and are called out in a higher level bill structure that is more customer dependent

than the bill at a lower level.

1.2 General Description

This section contains a general description of the Atlas Series™ series television

transmitters. Included in this section will be descriptions of the Control System,

Power Amplifier, block diagrams of the different models and system specifications.

The Atlas Series™ DTV transmitter consists of one or two cabinets depending on

power level. See Table 1-1 for a listing of the available models and power levels.

Figure 1-1 shows the 2 possible cabinet configurations. The cabinet on the left is for

power levels up to 3kW, with the dual cabinet configuration on the right allowing

for 4.3kW and 5.7kW versions.

1.2.2 System Block Diagrams

The following figures contain System block diagrams showing the basic signal flow

and configuration for each Atlas Series™ Transmitter Model. Figure 1-2 shows the

Medium Power single cabinet system with up to 8 PA modules. Note that a driver is

not needed, as the exciter power is sufficient to drive up to 8 PA modules. Figure 1-

3 shows the High Power configuration which is simply the addition of a second

cabinet and a cabinet combiner for outputs of 4.3Kw and 5.7kW.

Section 1 Introduction ATLAS Series™

1.2.3 Transmitter Control System

The transmitter uses a distributed architecture control system. This means that each

transmitter sub-system is responsible for its own monitoring and protection and

simply reports back to the Main Controller for display on the GUI (Graphical User

Interface) or to a remote interface. The heart of the system is the 376 Micro Module

which is used in all of the transmitter systems for control, monitoring and

protection. The Micro Module is used on each of the following controllers and sub-

systems:

a. Main Controller Board - This board is responsible for transmitter control and

monitoring. However, with the distributed control architecture, it is not

directly responsible for protection of the individual transmitter components. It

merely gathers all status and fault data from the individual sub-systems and

reports that information to the operator. The Main Controller is responsible

for system level control (issues which effect multiple systems) since it is the

only part of the control system which can monitor the entire transmitter.

b. Module Controllers (1 in each module) - Responsible for protection and con-

trol of the PA Module. Report directly to the Main Controller Board.

c. RF Monitor Board - Responsible for cabinet VSWR protection and monitor-

ing of combiner reject loads. Reports directly to the Main Controller.

d. Power Supply Monitor Board - Responsible for control and monitoring of the

PA power supplies and distribution of the low voltage. Also responsible for

monitoring the cooling system including temperature, flow and leaks. Reports

directly to the Main Controller.

e. External I/O Board - Provides all customer interface connections including

parallel remote control and serial remote control. Reports directly to the Main

Controller.

1.2.3.1 Graphical User Interface

The front panel user interface is a 1/4 VGA, LCD touchscreen display. The

touchscreen display uses software buttons to monitor the transmitter. Hardware

buttons for the primary transmitter functions such as ON, OFF, RAISE and

LOWER are provided on the overlay panel next to the display.
