V5/V10Making Digital Radio Work.

POWERFUL, AGILE AND EFFICIENTThe standard rack configurations of the V5 and V10 allow for fully

redundant operation ensuring maximum power is maintained during

emergency conditions. Redundant modules can be removed while

the transmitter is still operating, greatly reducing downtime during

troubleshooting and maintenance.

The V5 and V10 were designed with the operating technician in mind.

With the comprehensive display-based user interface, system configuration

is a breeze. A 100-events log with information detailed at the repairable

module level further reduces troubleshooting time.

The V5 and V10 are capable of conventional high fidelity analog FM service.

They are frequency agile and require no tuning for operation between 87.5

MHz and 108 MHz – an ideal choice for N+1 or multi-station operations.

V5/V105 & 10 kW Transmitters

REDUNDANT ARCHITECTURE

The redundant modular design features hot-pluggable RF power modules and power supply modules with high quality blind mate connectors. Dual low-voltage power supplies, IPAs and digital exciters with automatic changeover are also available. The cooling air for the system is supplied by dedicated DC powered fans for each module, and even these

fans are on-air serviceable.

BROADBAND DESIGN

V5 and V10 transmitters share a complete linear broadband design ideal for all N+1 configurations in any mode of operation. An integral M50 digital exciter selects the required presets to define the operating frequency, analog or digital mode and output power level making these transmitters completely adaptable.

DIGITAL RADIO

The V5 and V10 are specifically designed for HD Radio™ fully digital or hybrid modes of operation. The Exgine inclusive M50 digital exciter simply interfaces to a LAN connection to receive the digital program. The RF output is continuously monitored by the M50 where digital adaptive pre-correction circuitry dynamically optimizes performance, ensuring compliance with spectral limits. A programmable phase and amplitude equalizer is available to further enhance the digital experience.

FM ANALOG SUPERIORITY

The V5 and V10 transmitters utilize the M50 direct-to-channel conversion of the audio, eliminating microphonics or spurious output. Advanced digital signal processing and field programmable gate array technologies produce superior signal reproduction. The M50 offers built-in DSP stereo generators, SCA generators and a RBDS/RDS coder to complete the functionality list.

OPERATING CONVENIENCE

The V5 and V10’s graphic user interface and soft-keys give you simple menu control of operating modes. Six independent presets are available for operating levels, operational mode and frequency. An LED diagnostic status flow diagram continually monitors the system, and the advanced control, alarm and 100-event time-stamped logging system allows service personnel to easily identify operational status. Remote control and monitoring can be achieved using an industry standard web browser via a LAN connection.

EASE OF INSTALLATION

Transmitter is shipped as a complete unit with all modules installed ready for plug and play installation. Simple link selection allows AC input from 180 - 265 vac in three phase or single phase or 312 - 459 vac three phase.
