General information
1.1 Intended use
The equipment referred to in this manual is solid state transmitters with adjustable
output power from 0W to a maximum rated value (see Section “Series models”), to be
used in the whole FM band between 87.5 and 108 MHz, in 10 kHz steps.
The design of such equipment is based on SCALABILITY: it envisages the reuse on
different scale levels of resources used on a basic model (the E5000 amplifier), so as to
obtain higher transmission powers.
The same technology, same user interfaces and same components within each module
mean more economical spare part and repair management, more economical ope-
rator training and experience which can be easily shared with others.
The available options are as follows: STEREO, AES/EBU (both with integrated MPX), ac-
cording to the relative modulator version.
The distinctive characteristics of Elenos products remain constant: ECOSAVING, ICEFET,
VSWR PEAK HOLD, monitoring possibility, protection against corrosion, etc..
The LIFEXTENDER functionality can be added.
1.2 Transport
The equipment must only be transported in its original packaging. However, although it
has been designed to prevent the machine being damaged,
even in the event of incorrect manoeuvres, it is recommended to respect the “HIGH/
LOW” direction and not to subject it to impact.
Ensure that the transport and lifting equipment are suitable for supporting the load.
1.3 Unpacking
The personnel in charge of handling the load must use protective gloves and accident-
prevention footwear.
Before lifting or moving the equipment or any of its parts, check that the operating area
has been cleared, also considering a safe area in order to prevent damage to people
and/or properties that could be within the manoeuvring radius.
1.4 Storage
Should it be necessary to store the equipment for any reason, it is necessary that:
• in the storage area, the temperature is between -20° and +55°C, with humidity of
no more than 90% at 55°C;
• the equipment is disconnected from energy sources;
• the equipment is clean and there are no dust deposits;
• the equipment is covered with a waterproof sheet.
