scalability concept on fm transmitters

2

We have improved the basic E3500 module to develop 2kW – 31kW transmittersin 1+0 – N+1 configurations.All components in the family share the same characteristics as RF modules,power supply units, control logic, protection systems, derating, easy installation and simple setup.

The advantages of such scalability are evident:• Any technological improvement affecting the base product is directly transferred to all apparatus in the family• Automatic distribution of know-how and maintenance• Interchangeability and independence of single base modules• Spare parts are shared by the entire family

“Scalability” means the capacity of a family of products to evolve performances immediately thanks to technical improvements involving base products.

Innovation technology: the heart of Elenos products

Elenos was the first company in the world to introduce the familyof FM transmitters up to 31 kW based on the “scalability” concept.

• ICEFET®:This technology reduces Mosfet and heat-sink temperatures, improves ef-ficiency and grants higher MTBF. The result is unmatched size, consumption and reliability.

• ECOSAVING: Elenos has committed to reduce energy consumption. Our tech-nology has met the strict criteria on energy efficiency, will cost less to run and help to reduce pollution. Elenos wants to leave the planetin better conditions.

• ALWAYS ON AIR (Fully redundant):The redundancy of this transmitter prevents “SINGLE-POINT-FAILURES” thanks to a “SOFT FAILURE DESIGN”, and a protection system which keeps it “ON AIR” even in the most extreme working conditions.

• IPC (Intelligent Power Control):Another exclusive Elenos application. IPC maintains constant the output power within 2% of the setting value, regard-less of fluctuations in incoming AC line voltage, RF drive or load conditions.

• IPF (Intelligent Proportional Fold back): IPF is an intelligent system that allows the transmitter to stay “ON AIR” into mismatched loads.

• CONSTANT EFFICIENCY:The Voltage Power Amplifier and the Bias voltage are both controlled to obtain maximum efficiency at any fre-quency and at any output rated power.

• NO IPA: In Elenos transmitters, the IPA (Inter-mediate Power Amplifier) is avoided.This choice eliminates one of the bottle-necks in redundancy frequently present on transmitters of this category.

• EASY MAINTENANCE:All parts, RF modules, electronic control boards, blowers, power supplies etc.are easy to replace.

• SMS ALARMS:All alarms and events can be sent by SMS through a GSM modem.

• REMOTE DEEP DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITY: The industrial standard Hostlink protocol allows to safety handle huge quantity of information to perform remote deep diagnosis.

• WORLD-WIDE SALES & SERVICE SUPPORT:ELENOS is the FM manufacturer with one of the biggest distribution network of the world. Each distributor is chosen mainly by the technical support capabil-ity.

Elenos introduces the new ECHOS6 N+1 control system, heart of the Elenos 6+1 systems. This is the state of art 6+1 system present on the market thanks to it’s and full featured characteristics fitted in just two units rack.

Elenos ECHOS6 N+1 Control System, allows a single frequency agile FM transmitter to be used as a common stand-by equipment for up to 6 main fixed frequency transmitters. ECHOS6 controls and monitors each of main transmitters by its parallel inter-faces. Once detecting low RF output from any one of them, the controller will automatically set the frequency, power and audio levels of the standby unit to that of the failed transmitter in-cluding the routing of the input source (MPX, Left/Right, RDS or AES-EBU). Echos6 changes the configuration of the RF coaxial switch to substitute the “+1” unit for the failed unit and turn it “On Air”. The failed transmitter is routed to the dummy load where it can be tested and repaired.

• Configurable for N=1 to 6.• Front panel with synoptic LEDs and OLED display for intuitive monitor of the system status.• Main controls through pushbuttons for immediate control. • “Origin” pushbutton for a quick re-store of the original system configura-tion.• Automatic or Manual mode operation.• Local or Remote operation with re-mote lockout on front panel.• Priority levels configurations.• Programmable and user defined Tim-ers for activation of events.• Fast operation, it’s take less than 2 second to perform the commutation (programmable).• Parallel interface for simple and univer-sal operation with any brand of transmit-ters.• Opto-coupled inputs and dry contact relays outputs with separate and gal-vanically isolated power supply.• Remote control by a standard paral-lel interface (TLC/TLS), IEE485/RS232, TCP/IP, optional Web server and SNMP protocol.• “No-Fails” system , the current configu-ration is retained if Echos6 is turned off.• Compatible with 4-port coaxial switches from different vendors.• Built in MPX audio router.• Optional ECHOS 6 AUD audio router for Left/Right , AES-EBU and RDS.• Telemetry.
