1. GENERAL
The model ET3500-3 is a power amplifier used for FM radio transmission in the 87.5MHz
– 108MHz band. The unit is designed in order to assure continued broadcast service.
Its configuration has been specifically conceived to facilitate freight handling, installation
and maintenance.
The unit consists of a main RF amplifier which has twelve (12) pull out modules of 250W
each, combined in parallel to provide a 3.5KW RF output power.
Each RF module is built with a MOSFET of 300W power rating capability, which when set
at 250W guarantees a higher level of reliability and an increased lifespan.
The main power supply is made up of three 2KW modules to facilitate access and repla-
cement.
The operation’s control of the unit, the protection’s management, the interface for remote-
control operation are all performed by a powerful microprocessor which optimizes the
efficiency of the unit and guarantees assured operation under practically any operating
and environmental conditions.

ICEFET TECHNOLOGY
This technology led to the lowest functioning temperature of MOSFETs. Together with the use of a high-efficiency heat
sink (Elenos patent) a huge increase of reliability on MTBF is obtained.
WIDE BAND
The transmitter maintains optimal performances of power and efficiency on the whole band, no need for tuning (impor-
tant characteristic when we are dealing with a reserve transmitter in N+1 systems).

CONNECTIVITY:
the transmitter can be controlled through:
The local control logic (Color Touch Screen Display);
Local PC with Hyperterminal through the RS232 or RS485 ports;
Remote PC with Hyperterminal through a PSTN or GSM Modem;
Remote or local PC with SNMP;
Parallel interface;
For local or remote PCs a specific software is not necessary, because of the use of ANSI standard terminal (Hypertermi-
nal) or Web Browser as Internet Explorer.
POWER SUPPLY
The power supply is the heart of any electronic device, for this reason, the redundant ones are standard built in each
ELENOS amplifier.
The power supply is over-dimensioned, reliable, with PFC and voltage share, are at extended range. Thanks to them the
equipment works on supplies between 110VAC and 380VAC, both singlephase and three-phase.
The power supply room of the E3500 contains 3 power supplies of 2KW 50V 40° each.
The complete power supply case , therefore, produces a total of 6Kw 50V 120A exceeding for 20% the necessary total
power to work at full scale. Thanks to power supplies redundancy, the transmitter delivers 2KW still with one damaged
power supply, or at 1KW with two damaged power supplies.
The PFC reduces the harmonic emissions in the mains, improves the overall efficiency and the power factor of the equi-
pment, that results 0,98.
The outputs 50 VDC of the three power supplies are connected in parallel and use the voltage share technology.
This technology guarantees that all power supplies deliver the same voltage in a way that none of them is overcharged
and that temperature of all is the minimum possible, furthermore it improves the balance of the absorption on the three
phases minimizing the voltage on the neutral to a value very near to 0.
DUAL EXCITER
In the ELENOS ET3500 family, all components and the softwares needed for the changeover between exciters are inclu-
ded in the combiner.

1. GENERAL
DERATING
DERATING is a mechanism of reduction of output power proportional to the entity of the fault occurred.
There are four main derating:
1. Thermic derating for RF amplifier when out of ventilation;
2. Thermic derating of PSU or RF amplifier;
3. Current PSU derating;
4. Derating for one or more of RF amplifier;

1. GENERAL
RF THERMAL DERATING
The reaction of the IPC control logic in case of temperature increase up to derating is the following:
Overpassing the temperature of 70°C on the RF heatsink and of 72°C for the power supplies activates the thermal dera-
ting mode;
With active derating on, first, the target power is reduced to the 52% of the set power (2% more than -3dB), this to avoid
that the transmitter generates an alarm of 3dB.
The reduction of 1°C of the temperature from 70°C for RF or 72°C for PSU, while derating, increases the temperature of
1/10 of 48% of the target power. The output power is reduced to the target value if the temperature is lower or equal to
60°C for the RF or of 62°C for PSU. This avoids also the thermal derating condition, restoring the normal functioning of
the equipment.
If temperature continues to rise despite derating, the output power is reduced again even below a
-3dB level, generating also the -3dB alarm.
Id the derating is not able to stop the temperature raise, when the threshold of 80°C is overpassed for the RF or 77°C for
PSU, turns off the power supplies, therefore the amplifier. The reset of the equipment occurs with a hysteresis of 5°C, so
the functioning is reset respectively at 75°C for RF and 72°C for PSU. The transmitter shut-down is managed with three
block-outs, that means that after three times it tries to contain the temperature through the derating, the total block of the
equipment is determined.
Notice: When the power supplies stop, stop of blowers is consequently caused, therefore the equipment will work without
forced air-cooling.

pressing the button “1” (as seen above) and repeat the sequence for the introduction of
passwords, then return to the Main Menu and put the car in running order again putting “FALSE”
the field STAND - BY then re-set “Bias Setting” value -10.24 (Main Menu then option “Shunt /

At this point turn the exciter (making sure that we do not absolutely delivers power), to prepare
for its frequency of work centre banda (98 MHz), increase the output value of up to 90 watts
is monitoring the behaviour dell’E3500 the value Power reflected sull’eccitatore. If this power
reflected should exceed 10 or 12 Watt, decrease the power all’E3500 up to bring this power
reflected at about 8 or 9 Watt, the value of 90 watts will be reached later.
Start slowly increase the value “Bias Setting” controlling currents absorbed by all the modules and
controlling the power output dall’E3500 on Wattmetro external connected to the load testing.
During this growth of power may be differences in the values of current absorbed by the modules
up to 4 Amp. These discrepancies in the currents are acceptable as long as the “Bias Setting”
remains below the 3.00 value. If increasing the value currents begin to equalizzarsi then you can
continue to increase to 10.20, otherwise we must investigate the causes that produce excessive
imbalance between the currents of the modules. If not done previously is now possible to achieve
the 90 watts of power excitation.
If you can not reach the 3.5 KW of power output while maintaining the current values within
the limits necessary to suspend testing at this point investigating more thoroughly the causes
(for example, the impedance mismatch between the modules) that hinder the achievement of
Standard operating the machine.

6. TESTING AND CALIBRATION
Repeat again tests to five frequencies indicated above ricontrollando currents of the modules and
performance.
The actions described in the latter part does not necessarily have to be carried out in the order
they were presented. It may happen that the adjustment dell’impedenza entry on the modules
(capacitor, resistor, coil to “U”) is not sufficient and that the current performance or continue to
be out of specifications. For this reason you may need to intervene in advance on reels adapter
impedance output and then return on individual modules. As already anticipated this depends on
understanding and experience of the test.
At the end of operations should reseal the rooms splitter adapter input and output impedance
and must repeat tests to five frequencies. If no abnormalities were found then you can close
completely the machine repeating the tests at various frequencies and the frequency for which the
machine is requested by the customer or ultimately the frequency of 103.00 MHz
