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:

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

schematic) 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

electrolytic (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.

Introduction/Specifications

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 General Description

Platinum™ Series The HT EL 2000 watt television transmitter

is an externally diplexed transmitter available in CCIR systems

forM,D/K,B,I,andK.

The transmitter consists of 5 RF amplifier modules, coolingfans,

50 voltpowersupplies, control interfacetray, logic powersupply

and an exciter. The exciter includes the transmitter control panel.

Transmitters operate on a 208-240 volt single phase 50 or 60

Hertz. The transmitter assemblies all are mounted in a single

cabinet 183 cm (72 inches) high.

1.2 Control and Monitoring

Transmitters are designed for local, video present control, or

remote/extended operation. VSWR foldback is used to protect

the transmitter RF system. Over temperature protection of RF

modules and module power supplies is standard.

1.3 Signal Flow Through the System

Refer to transmitter block diagram Figure 1-1.

The visual exciter uses IF modulation with pre-correction at

video and IF. The visual signal is amplified by a driver and three

PA modules.

The aural exciter modulates audio baseband and subcarrier in-

puts at aural IF carrier. Optional IF group delay correction is

available for a Notch Diplexer and aural linearization for dual

carrier systems. The aural signal is amplified by a RF driver

amplifier module.

1.4 RF Amplifier Modules

Like aural and visual modules are interchangeable and have

overdrive, over/undervoltage, power unbalance, VSWR, and

overtemperature protection. The modules may be repaired in the

field at the quarter module or component level.

1.5 Power Supplies

The exciter and interface logic utilize linear regulator supplies.

The RF module power comes from power factor corrected

switching supplies in the power module assembly.

1.6 Cooling

The main coolingairintakeis through the rear door andexhausts

out the top and right side. There are five supply and five exhaust

fans for module cooling. Two other fans are used for heat pipe

cooling.

Removing one module will not affect air flow to other modules.

Each power supply has a fan to draw air from the front of the

transmitter.

1.7 RF Output System

Various diplexing systems are used as the system requires. Har-

monic and imagefrequency color subcarrier filtersarepartofthe

system.

Installation

2.1 Introduction

This section contains information necessary for installation

planning, installation, and initial checkout procedures on Plati-

num™ Series HT EL2000LS/HS television transmitters. The

informationinthissectionisintendedtobeusedonlyasa

general guideline in planning the installation. Since all installa-

tions differ in some respects, and in order to conform to local

building and electrical codes, the information contained must be

adapted for each installation.

2.1.1

Test Equipment Requirement Planning

See Table 2-1 for a list of recommended test equipment.

2.2 Mechanical Installation Planning

2.2.1 Space Requirements

(Refer to Transmitter Outline drawing: 843-5285-110)

Planning for the transmitter room should allow space for pro-

gram input, monitoring, remote control, and test equipment as

well as the transmitter. Additional area may also be required for

tower lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-condition-

ing) equipment, storage, and a workbench. To allow for servic-

ing the transmitter, a minimum clearance of 3 feet (92 cm) in

front of and 20 inches (51 cm.) behind the cabinet is recom-

Be sure to include this information in your planning for the

building and verify that the structure is capable of safely sup-

porting the total weight of the transmitter and peripheral equip-

ment.

RF System Layout

The 1 5/8 EIA unflanged visual RF output and the N connector

aural output are onthe top of thecabinet.Adaptersarefurnished

where needed to connect RF coax cables to 1 5/8 EIA compo-

nents. The outline drawings of typical RF notch diplexers and

harmonic filters are included. Use the block diagrams and

component outline drawings (Fig 2-2 through 2-11) to plan the

installation for the site requirements. Locate the transmitter

close to the diplexertominimizetheinterconnectionlinelosses.

A support system should be installed so that the RF components

are completely supported, to minimize theweight carried bythe

output connectors. This will prevent possible damage to com-

ponents and connectors. Notch diplexers are generally supplied

in a frame which rests on or is bolted to the floor.

Directional couplers for metering are in the transmitter cabinet.

Optional directional couplers for monitoring are on the block

diagram and should be ordered with the transmitter. Be sure all

components necessary for installation are available on site.

2.2.4

Air System

Minimum transmitter air cooling requirements are 1200 cubic

feet per minute (34 cubic meters per minute). Additional flush-

ing air is recommended for the removal of heat from any

equipment surrounding the transmitter. A good guideline is to

keepinputairnogreaterthan5°Caboveambient.Themaximum

transmitter operating temperature is 45°Catsealevel(derate

2°C for each 1000 feet (300 meters) above sea level. Hot air

rises, one approach would be to use exhaust duct(s) or louvers

at the highest point of the room and use a supply fan and filter

frame to keep the room at a positive pressure.

Appendix B contains information useful to those intending to

use air conditioning equipment to control transmitter building

temperature.

2.3 Electrical Installation Planning

Each country establishes standards for AC power systems. The

national and local applicablestandard for the installation should

be followed.

See Appendix C for information about lightning and surge

protection.

2.3.1

Power Requirements

The transmitter is designed to operate from 208 to 240 volts, 50

or 60 Hz, single phase. If voltage variations in excess of

+10%

areanticipated,itisrecommendedthatthetransmitterACmains

be equipped with automatic voltage regulators capable of cor-

recting the primary voltage.

All control wiring and signal inputs are located at the I/O panel

in the cabinet. Additional access is provided in the cabinet floor

for AC wiring only. AC power to the transmitter should be run

in metallic conduit, connected to earth ground for safety and to

provide shielding against interference. The power wiring must

be terminated in a power distribution panel, this panel must also

beconnectedto earthground.Atransmitter cabinetgroundstrap

connection is located at the lower rear edge.

2.3.2

Circuit Breaker Selection

The transmitter requires a relatively stable source of input

power. For this reason, the primary power for the transmitter

should originate at the main power distribution system and

remain isolated from other electrical distributions.

888-2457-001 2-1

WARNING: Disconnect primary power prior to servicing.

A short-duration surge, due to transformer inrush current, will

occur at turn-on or during a short AC powerloss. This surge can

be as high as 400 amps. During this surge,the line voltage at the

cabinetmustnotdropbelow80%ofthe ratedlinevoltage.Select

a 40 amp breaker or fuse for the transmitter using the above

inrush current information.

2.3.3

AC mains Disconnect Location

The circuit breaker panel should be located near the transmitter

in a well lighted area. As a safety precaution, controls for

disconnecting the main power service supplying the transmitter

must be convenient to the operator and maintenance personnel.

Breakers must be clearly labeled. Provisions for emergency

lighting should be made.

2.4 Unloading and Unpacking

2.4.1 Equipment Required for Unloading

Examine the weights listed on the Transmitter Outline drawing

for guidance on the equipment needed. Note: The notch

diplexer, if used, will be the heaviest.

Whenthetransmitterisdeliveredtothesite,theshipmentshould

be inspected and inventoried before installation is begun. This

section provides information to assist unpacking and inventory.

Locate the packing check list when the shipment arrives.

Each transmitter shipment will be accompanied by a packing

check list identifying which equipment is packed in the various

crates and boxes.

LOCATED PACKING CHECK LIST

The contents of the shipment should be inventoried with the

packing list. Carefully unpack the unit and perform a visual

inspection to determine if any apparent damage has been in-

curred during shipment. Retain all shipping materials until it has

been determined that all items on the list are on site and no

damageoccurredduring shipment. Itmaybenecessaryto search

packing material for parts initially missed during unpacking.

The carrier may also wish to examine the packing material.

If the contents are incomplete, or if the unit is damaged electri-

cally or mechanically, notify the Harris Customer Service De-
