Warning:

 The machine must be disconnected from the mains power supply when

this operation is performed.

Connect the RF output of the exciter to the antenna cable or to a dummy load capable

of dissipating the power generated by BLUES30.

Turn trimmer "Pwr Adj." counterclockwise to minimize the emitted power.

Plug the mains cable into the specific VDE base.

Note:

 The mains system must be grounded to assure operator safety and proper

working efficiency of the equipment.

Connect the audio cables of your signal source to the respective connectors at the

back of the exciter. The machine can run either in Stereo (Left and Right inputs),

Mono or MPX mode (compound input). See chapter 7 for the description of the

connectors.

5.2 Operation

Energize the exciter by putting the switch placed on the rear panel in the “I” position

(on).

The following parameters should be set before deliver power:

•

Operating frequency

•

Input impedance

•

Pre-emphasis

•

Audio level

•

Operating mode (Stereo, mono or MPX)

A few seconds after power-up, the exciter's PLL locks the operating frequency and

this activates the exciter power distribution. The machine's routine operating status

is indicated by the lighting up of the PLL LOCK LED.

Turn trimmer "Pwr Adj" clockwise to increase delivered power up until the required

level. Blues30 does not need to be supervised while working. However the user may

monitor the main parameters and make changes to the configuration via the machine's

control software.

5.3 Encoder

The control system of the Blues30 is made up of a LCD and a knob (the encoder) by

means of which to set and check all configurations.

The interaction between the user and exciter’s control software is performed using

the encoder as you can see in next figure:
