General information
4.1 Intended use
The products described in this document are solid state transmitters with an output
power adjustable from 0W up to the maximum rating (see “Family variants“ section),
using in FM band between 87.5 and 108MHz at 10kHz steps.
The new Indium series, this is his name, stands for new lines, new colors, an innovative
look, and especially new technology, designed to outstanding performance.
The 3 units of equivalent devices in terms of power have been reduced to 2 units, with
obvious advantages in the insertion rack. The final weight is not exceed to 15kg.
The number of internal cables is simplified in order to obtain a reduction of the failure
likelihood and an easier maintenance.
The RF performance, obtained with a number of modules from 3 to 0 depending on the
model purchased, are close to the finish line that is not superable in terms of efficiency,
with devices and technologies of today.
Thanks to these features, ETG series allows a drastic electricity costs reduction.
The product distinguishing features remain : ECOSAVING, ICEFET, VSWR PEAK HOLD, moni-
toring capability, protection against corrosion.
The options would satisfy all needs : MPX, STEREO or AES/EBU versions; TC/TS, TC/
TS+ETHERNET+PROFILES options; LIFEXTENDER.
4.2 Shipment
The shipment may only be performed in its original packaging.
However, although this is designed to avoid product damages, even in mishandling
case, it is recommended to respect the “UP/DOWN” side and to not give shocks.
To make sure that the type of transport and lifting equipment type are capable to sup-
port the weight.
4.3 Unpacking
The staff, handling the product, should operate with gloves and shoes against injury.
Before lifting or handling equipment to verify that you have done to clear the area
of operation, considering a safety area large enough to avoid damage to persons or
objects that may be in the range of maneuver.
4.4 Storage
If you wish, for whatever reason, store the product it is necessary that:
• the temperatures, in the storage, are not exceeded -20 ° - +55 ° C, with humidity
not exceeding 90% at 55 ° C;
• the equipment must be disconnected from the sources of energy;
• the equipment is clean and there are any dust;
• the equipment is covered with a waterproof sheet.
4.5 Off line and disposal
