SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
C. HOT SURFACES - Surfaces of air-cooled radiators and other parts of tubes can reach
temperatures of several hundred degrees centigrade and cause serious burns if touched.
Additional information follows.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Many power circuits operate at voltages high enough to kill through electrocution. Personnel should
always break the primary AC Power when accessing the inside of the transmitter.
RF energy must be contained properly by shielding and transmission lines. All input and output RF
connections, such as cables, flanges and gaskets must be RF leak proof. Never operate a power tube
without a properly matched RF energy absorbing load attached. Never look into or expose any part
of the body to an antenna or open RF generating tube or circuit or RF transmission system while
energized. Monitor the tube and RF system for RF radiation leakage at regular intervals and after
servicing.
HOT SURFACES
The power components in the transmitter are cooled by forced-air and natural convection. When
handling any components of the transmitter after it has been in operation, caution must always be
taken to ensure that the component is cool enough to handle without injury.

1 OVERVIEW
1.1 FM-10S GENERAL
Components are housed in one cabinet. An extensive redundancy and protection system keeps a signal
on the air even in the most extreme conditions.
The Broadcast Electronics FMi 703 transmitter is a 7 kW FM+IBOC and 2.8 kW IBOC only solid-state
transmitter based largely on the FM-10S architecture and is designed for continuous operation in the
87.5-108MHz broadcast band (refer to Figure 2). The FMi 703 is equipped with: 1) FXi 250 FM/IBOC
Digital Exciter, 2) four 5kW modular switching power supplies, 3) 16 modular solid-state broadband
plug-in RF power amplifier modules biased for linear operation, 4) One modular solid-state broadband
plug-in IPA module with an option for a second configured for standby operation, 5) One built in 2-way
combiner with built in reject load, 6) Microprocessor base controller to control TX operation.
Components are housed in one cabinet. An extensive redundancy and protection system keeps a signal
on the air even in the most extreme conditions.
MODULAR SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY UNITS. Four 5 kW modular switching power supply units
provide operating potentials for the RF power amplifier modules. Separate switching power supply units
provide ±12 and +5 volt operating potentials for the controllers RF power amplifier modules and IPA.
An auto power supply backup option allows fifth power amplifier power supply modules to be installed
in each transmitter cabinet.
SOFT–FAILURE FEATURE. A powerful soft-failure feature. If one RF amplifier module fails the transmitter
combiner automatically re-configures to output 95% of the RF output power.
SYSTEM/MODULE CONTROLLERS. One system controller and two module controllers. The module
controllers monitor and control 32 RF amplifier modules and two IPA modules. The system controllers
monitor and control the module controllers and system functions such as VSWR foldback.
OPTIONS. Several options allow the transmitter to be equipped with: 1) an automatic exciter switcher 2)
a fifth switching power supply assembly 3) an automatic IPA switcher and 4) RTDS (available at a future
date).
REDUNDANT DESIGN. Redundant design for superior reliability. The modularity of the RF amplifier
modules power supply modules IPA and transmitter options allow for redundant circuitry in critical
areas. If a failure occurs this redundancy allows the transmitter to maintain on-air operation.
The FM-10S comes standard with the FX-50 solid-state wideband FM exciter providing a continuously
variable RF output at any frequency within the 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz broadcast band in 10 kHz
increments. The FX-50 is designed to accept multiple wideband composite inputs from a stereo
generator or SCA generator. In addition the FX-50 is equipped with a 600 ohm balanced monaural
input. A tapped dual primary power transformer and a voltage selector allows operation from a wide
range of ac input potentials.
The FX-50 is equipped with a digitally programmed frequency synthesizer which generates and
maintains the phase and frequency of the carrier. A temperature compensated reference oscillator and a
dual-speed phase-locked-loop control circuit locks the frequency of a modulated oscillator to a precision
frequency oscillator allowing prompt on-frequency operation. A solid-state broadband 3 to 50 watt RF
amplifier provides amplification of the FM signal. Exciter operating parameters are monitored and
displayed by a front-panel digital LCD multimeter and an LED display.
The FM-10S may also be equipped with the optional FXi 60 or FXi 250 digital FM exciter. The FXi
60/250 is a solid-state wideband FM digital exciter providing a continuously variable RF output at any
frequency within the 87.5 to 108 MHz FM broadcast band in 10 kHz increments. The FXi is divided into
several board assemblies. The assemblies include: 1) DSP (Digital-Signal-Processor) Modulator 2)
Controller 3) Oscillator/ Filter 4) RF Power Amplifier 5) Power Supply and 6) Color GUI Interface. For an
FM-10S transmitter the FXi 60/250 will be equipped with a 60 or 250 watt RF power amplifier module.

The FXi exciter is highly integrated and comes with the following standard features: 1) AES Input 2) L &
R Analog Inputs 3) Balanced and Unbalanced Composite Inputs 4) Two internal SCA Generators 5)
Internal RDS Generator and 6) External SCA/RDS Input. The FXi also has a built in stereo generator
compressor and limiter all of which are software programmable and defeatable. The exciter can also be
operated in Mono (L+R), Mono L, or Mono R modes. The digital exciter also provides modulation
Directly to Channel (DTC) 87.5 – 108 MHz eliminating any analog up converter processes. The chassis of
the FXi requires 7 inches of a 19 inch rack cabinet. Refer to publication 597-0541 for a detailed
explanation of the FXi 60/250 features.
When used in an FMi 703 the FXi 250 exciter can be configured for IBOC operation with a plug in
Exgine card included with the XPi 10 exporter upgrade. With the Exgine card installed the FXi 250 can
be set for FM + IBOC or IBOC only mode. This mode is selectable from the front panel of the FXi 250
exciter. The FXi 250 can also be set for FM only mode in a 703 with the power output limited at 7 kW.
This is also selectable from the front panel of the exciter.
The addition of the XPi 10 IBOC Exporter upgrade is required for IBOC transmission. The XPi 10 works in
conjunction with the FXi 250 to provide the IBOC signal to the FMi 703. In order to produce the IBOC
signal you must have both the FXi 250 and the XPi 10 installed an operating in the FMi 703 TX.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter is equipped with four 5 kW modular switching power supply
assemblies. The supplies provide DC operating potentials for the transmitter power amplifier circuitry. A
separate modular switching power supply pro vides ±12 and +5 volt operating potentials for the
controller IPA and RF amplifier modules. Each supply is equipped with overload protection over-voltage
protection high temperature protection and a soft-start feature which minimizes in-rush currents. A
fifth 5 kW modular switching power supply can be installed as a backup if the transmitter is equipped
with the backup power supply option.
The PA and IPA modules in the FMi 703 are solid-state amplifiers biased for linear operation. There is
the same number of modules and the architecture is the same as those used in the FM-10S.
Each module consists of an interface circuit board 2 RF amplifier circuit boards and a combiner. Each RF
amplifier circuit board: 1) contains a single dual MOSFET power transistor operated in a push-pull
configuration and 2) outputs 350 watts of RF power. RF amplifier operations are monitored by the
interface circuit board. The interface circuit board is designed to monitor over-current over-voltage high
reflected power and high temperature conditions. A limit circuit is designed to limit the RF output
during high reflected power high temperature over-current or high forward power demand conditions.
The operating status of each module parameter is routed to a module controller circuit board for
display. The output from each RF amplifier module is combined to produce 700 watts of RF power.
RF power from the exciter is fed into the IPA module. This module is identical to the RF power
amplifiers and output 500 watts of RF power. The transmitter can be equipped with a second “standby
IPA module” and an automatic IPA switcher if the “Standby IPA option” is installed.
1.11 CONTROLLER.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 controller (located in the Control cabinet) consists of a supervisor circuit board
two module control circuit boards a front-panel display circuit board and an input/output circuit board.
The controller utilizes extensive RFI filtering and 3 microprocessors to ensure maximum reliability. A
battery back-up system is incorporated into the design to maintain the controller memory during AC
power interruptions. Operating potentials for the controller circuitry are provided by a modular
switching power supply. The supply provides the controller circuitry with stable ±12 and +5 VDC
supplies.
The supervisor controller circuit board is equipped with a Z-World© microprocessor module. The
supervisor circuit board controls and monitors the module control circuit board and performs all system
type control operations such as on/off control power trim automatic power control and remote control
interfacing. The automatic power control function responds to reflected power and internal
temperature conditions. If the reflected power or internal temperature increases above the thresholds
the transmitter will automatically foldback the output power to maintain on-air operation. The soft-
failure feature controls the combiner in response to RF module failures. In the event of an RF module
failure the controller automatically re-configures the combiner to provide maximum RF output power.
The supervisor circuit board controls the operation of all the controller front panel displays and
switches. Transmitter forward power reflected power PA voltage air inlet temperature and exciter
forward/reflected power samples are routed to the circuit board. The samples are displayed or used as
status information by the microprocessor. System parameters are displayed by a 4-character LCD
display. Module parameters are displayed by a 2-line 16 character LCD display.
The module control circuit board reports to and responds to commands from the supervisor circuit
board. The module control circuit board is equipped with two 80C31 microprocessors. The circuit board
provides monitoring control and display functions for 32 RF amplifier modules and two IPA modules.
The module control circuit board is also responsible for the combiner re-configuration during soft-
failure conditions. RF power amplifier module forward power reflected power current voltage and
temperature samples are routed to the circuit board for monitoring and display.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 can also be equipped with RTDS (available at a future date). RTDS is a system
designed to monitor control and troubleshoots transmitter operations from a remote location using a
PC. The system consists of an RTDS microprocessor module and the RTDS PC software.
1.12 COMBINER.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 is equipped with an auto-configurable combiner system. This unique system
matches the combiner to the number of operating modules in the transmitter. In the event of a failure
in an RF amplifier module the combiner will automatically re-configure to provide maximum output
power from the remaining modules.
For example if one RF amplifier module encounters a failure the combiner will automatically re-
configure to provide approximately 95% of the rated output power. The combiner system is controlled
by the transmitter module control circuit board.
The combiner system consists of two 8-way combiners and one 2-way combiner. Each 8-way combiner
sums the outputs of 8 RF amplifier modules to produce 5 kW output. One 2-way combiner sums the 5
kW outputs from two 8-way combiners to produce the 10 kW output. The unique features of the
combiner include: 1) very low loss, 2) broadband and 3) no cable connections.

2.1 INTRODUCTION.
This section contains information required for the installation and preliminary checkout of the Broadcast
Electronics FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter.
2.2 UNPACKING.
The equipment becomes the property of the customer when the equipment is delivered to the carrier.
Carefully unpack the transmitter. Perform a visual inspection to determine that no apparent damage has
been incurred during shipment. All shipping materials should be retained until it is determined that the
unit has not been damaged. Claims for damaged equipment must be promptly filed with the carrier or
the carrier may not accept the claim.
The contents of the shipment should be as indicated on the packing list. If the contents are incomplete,
or if the unit is damaged electrically or mechanically, notify both the carrier and Broadcast Electronics.
TABLE 1, provides environmental conditions which must be considered prior to transmitter installation.
Refer to TABLE 1 in SECTION I, GENERAL INFORMATION and ensure the transmitter is to be installed in
an acceptable environment.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter requires a source of cooling air to maintain an acceptable operating
temperature. The transmitter requires a cooling air flow of 2700 cubic feet per minute (refer to Figure
3). The cooling air source must be dry and well filtered.
If the heated transmitter air is to be ducted from the room, the duct system must not intro duce any
back-pressure on the equipment. Proper allowances for air flow will ensure that only a limited amount
of heat is dissipated into the equipment interior. The duct system must allow for a minimum air flow of
2700 cubic feet of air per minute.
If an exhaust system is desired, an exhaust hood must be designed. A paper titled “TRANSMITTER
COOLING SYSTEMS: DESIGN, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE” provides information on the design
and maintenance of transmitter exhaust systems. The paper can be obtained by locating the document
on the Broadcast Electronics web site; www.bdcast.com or by contacting Broadcast Electronics
Technical Services.
The standard FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter operates from a three-phase AC power source. The
transmitter must be connected to a closed-delta or WYE three-phase power source. Operation from an
unsatisfactory power source will void the warranty on the transmitter as any resulting damage is beyond
the control of the manufacturer. Before attempting installation of the transmitter, assure that the
proper power source is installed. Acceptable power input configurations are shown in the following
pages.
An open-delta, V-to-V, T-to-T, T-to-L, or Scott connected power source will provide unsatisfactory
transmitter performance as transients and unstable power can damage components of the transmitter
and provide degraded specifications. Any of these systems will develop a considerable imbalance
between phases in voltage, phase angle or both voltage and phase angle. These problems can result in

It is important that the local electric utility be consulted to ensure that the correct service is provided
before connection of the transmitter to a primary power source. The proper power source can be
readily identified by the use of three transformers with one winding each or one transformer with three
windings instead of the use of two transformers as required for the unacceptable configurations.
2.6 INSTALLATION.
Each transmitter is wired, operated, tested, and inspected at the factory prior to shipment and is ready
for installation when received. Prior to installation, this publication should be studied to obtain an
understanding of the operation, circuitry, nomenclature, and installation requirements. Installation is
accomplished as follows: 1) equipment placement, 2) equipment installation, 3) wiring, and 4)
preliminary operation.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter is designed with access holes in the top of the cabinet to allow for
over-head ducting of AC power and control wiring (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4). The floor must be
capable of supporting the total transmitter weight of 713 lbs (324 kg).
Evaluate the installation site and determine location of the transmitter. Once the location is determined,
use a forklift to move the transmitter to the desired location. After the transmitter is placed in the
desired location, slide the transmitter off the skid. Remove the shipping skid and slide the transmitter to
the exact location.
FM Exciter Installation (FM–10S). The transmitter may be equipped with the standard FX-50 exciter or
the optional FXi 60 digital exciter. For transmitters equipped with an FX-50 or FXi 60 exciter, perform
the following installation procedure.
Refer to FX-50 exciter manual 597-1050 and perform the PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION PROCEDURES to
unpack and configure the exciter for the desired operation. For an FXi 60, refer to exciter manual 597-
0541.

control knob on the front of the unit is turned. The PAV will rise when the knob is turned clockwise and
lower when the knob is turned counter clockwise. The power output from the exciter, or drive, does not
change during the power control process.
Power control on the FMi 703 is accomplished by varying the exciter power, or drive. The exciter
forward power will rise when the knob is turned clockwise and lower when the knob is turned counter
clockwise. The PAV on the transmitter does not change during the power control process and sets at -
42.5V.
Since the power control is accomplished in the exciter there is an interface from the transmitter to the
exciter that indicates when the knob is being turned and in what direction. The supervisor board sends
a voltage that goes to the I/O board. On the I/O board this volt age is on J1-7 for the main exciter and
J2-7 for the standby exciter. This voltage is connected to J3-24 on the exciter.
The lower command is typically 1.5V on this pin and the range for this command is 0.5V to 2.2V. When
the voltage is in this range the exciter power will lower, thus lowering the transmitter power. The raise
command is typically 4.5V on this pin and the range for this command is any voltage above 2.68. When
the voltage is above 2.68V the exciter power will raise, thus raising the transmitter power. There are
two hold regions where the exciter does nothing. These are voltages between 2.2V and 2.68V and any
voltage below 0.5V. When the voltage is in the hold range the exciter power will remain stable.
The FMi 703 is designed for HD Radio operation which requires that the transistors be biased for Class
AB operation rather than Class C. When the transistors are biased at the higher current point the drive
requirements go down due to the fact that the gain of the devices goes up. Therefore, the drive
requirements from the exciter are quite low and it is normal to see the exciter running between 1 and
5Watts. This is in contrast to the 25Watts when the transmitter is running in Class C mode (FM-10S).
switch/indicator. To switch the normal exciter into the RF chain, depress the STANDBY EXCITER
switch/indicator to extinguish the switch/indicator.
If the transmitter is equipped with a standby exciter, the exciter can be manually switched into the
transmitter RF chain using the STANDBY EXCITER switch/indicator. To manually switch the standby
exciter into the RF chain, depress the STANDBY EXCITER switch/indicator to illuminate the
switch/indicator. To switch the normal exciter into the RF chain, depress the STANDBY EXCITER
switch/indicator to extinguish the switch/indicator.
If the transmitter is equipped with standby IPAs, the standby IPA can be manually switched into the
transmitter RF chain using the STANDBY IPA switch/indicators. To manually switch the standby IPA into
the RF chain, depress the STANDBY IPA switch/indicator to illuminate the switch/indicator. To switch
the normal IPA into the RF chain, depress the STANDBY IPA switch/indicator to extinguish the
switch/indicator.
The transmitter is equipped with 5 fault indicators. The VSWR indicator will illuminate if a 1.45: 1 or
greater VSWR condition is present at the RF output. The MODULE indicator will illuminate if a fault
occurs in one or more modules. The DRIVE indicator illuminates if the IPA output is below 250 watts.
The POWER SUPPLY indicator illuminates if a fault occurs in one or more power supply modules. The
AC POWER indicator illuminates if: 1) the AC power line is below 168 volts or above 255 volts or 2) a
loss-of-phase condition has occurred. The indicator will illuminate when ac power is returned to the
transmitter (refer to AC LINE INTERRUPT - HIGH/LOW AC LINE AND loss-OF-PHASE CONDITIONS in the
following text).
If a fault occurs, the FAULTS RESET switch/indicator will illuminate. To reset a transmitter fault
condition, depress the FAULTS RESET switch/indicator. If the fault condition is remedied, the FAULT
RESET indicator will extinguish.
If the fault condition is not remedied, operate the ac switch/circuit breaker to off and locate the
problem.
Once the fault condition is remedied, depress the FAULTS RESET switch/indicator. The indicator will
extinguish.
the transmitter can be de-energized for repair. In the event of an RF amplifier module failure, the
module can be removed from the transmitter chassis with power energized.
4 THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION.
This section presents the theory of operation for the Broadcast Electronics FM-10S/FMi 703
transmitter.
Information on the Overall block diagram of the FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter is presented in
Figure 16. Refer to Figure 16 for information on overall FM-208/FMi 703 transmitter block
diagram.
A block level illustration of the FM-10S/FMi 703 power supply is presented in Figure 17.
Refer to Figure 17 for FM-10S/FMi 703 power supply information.
A diagram of the FM-10S/FMi 703 RF circuitry is presented in Figure 18 and Figure 19. Refer
to Figure 18 and Figure 19 for FM-10S/FMi 703 RF circuitry information.
5 SECTION V MAINTENANCE
5.1 INTRODUCTION.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.
The FM-l0S/FMi 703 transmitter contains high voltages and currents. If safety precautions
are not practiced, contact with the high voltages and currents could cause serious injury or
death. Never operate the transmitter unless all transmitter doors and access panels are
installed. The transmitter is equipped with built-in safety features, however good judgment,
care and common sense must be practiced to prevent accidents. The maintenance
procedures contained in this section should be performed only by trained and experienced
maintenance personnel.
It is dangerous to measure voltages inside the cabinet or replace components with power
energized. Therefore, do not measure voltages inside the cabinet or replace components
with power energized. Always operate the transmitter rear door AC switch/circuit breaker to
OFF prior to performing any maintenance within the transmitter. Measurements with the
power energized can be performed in the controller enclosure if required.
The FM-l0S/FMi 703 power amplifier stage consists of solid-state power amplifier devices.
Figure 20 and Figure 21, presents typical FM-l0S/FMi 703 PA stage efficiency values. The PA
stage efficiency will vary slightly from the values presented due to component tolerances.
Refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21, as required for typical PA stage efficiency values.
INSPECTION AND CLEANING. On a regular basis, clean the equipment of accumulated dust
using a brush and vacuum cleaner. Inspect the RF amplifier modules and the power supplies
for damage caused by component overheating. Overheated components are identified by
circuit board discoloration near the component leads. Inspect the circuit boards for loose
hardware as required.
TRANSMITTER AIR FILTERS. The FM-l0S/FMi 703 transmitter is equipped with four screen-
type air filters refer to Figure 22,). The air filters are located on the rear-doors. Ensure the
filters are installed with the air flow indicator pointing towards the flushing fans. The filters
can be checked and cleaned without interrupting transmitter operation.
1. Refer to Figure 22 and remove the transmitter rear filter access panel.
2. Remove the filters from the chassis by lifting the filter from the chassis.
3. Clean the filter using a: 1) brush and vacuum or 2) brush and soapy water.
4. Replace the filter with the air flow indicator pointing towards the flushing fans.
EXCITER AIR FILTER. The FX-50 and the optional FXi 60 exciter are also equipped with a
screen-type air filter. The FX-50 and FXi 60 air filters can be checked and cleaned without
interrupting transmitter operation.
The FXi 60 and FX-50 air filters can be accessed from the rear of the transmitter without
interrupting transmitter operation. The FX-50 filter can also be accessed by sliding the unit
out-of-the-rack. To access and clean the exciter filter, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 22 and remove the transmitter upper rear access panel.
2. Remove the filter from the chassis by removing the screws securing the filter to the
chassis.
3. Clean the filter using a: 1) brush and vacuum or 2) brush and soapy water.
FLUSHING FANS. Inspect the transmitter flushing fans for dust accumulation and periodically
clean the fans using a brush and vacuum cleaner. The fans are cooled by air passing around
each motor. If dust is allowed to accumulate on the motors, the ambient air temperature
will increase due to restricted air flow. When the ambient air temperature increases, the fan
motor bearing lubricant will gradually vaporize and bearing failure will occur.
CONTROLLER BATTERY. The transmitter controller is equipped with a Lithium battery. The
battery has a useful life of approximately 5 years. After approximately five years of service,
replace the controller battery using BEI part number 350-2032.
The maintenance philosophy for the FM-l0S/FMi 703 transmitter consists of isolating a
problem to a specific area. Once the specific area is located, subsequent troubleshooting
using the information in the following text will assist in problem isolation to a replaceable
assembly or component. If required, the replaceable assembly may be; 1) returned to the
factory for repair or exchange or 2) repaired locally.
Required Equipment. The following equipment is required to adjust the multimeter display
calibration control.
Observe the MULTIMETER display and adjust R28 for the desired contrast.
The re-calibration process is performed using the FM-l0S/FMi 703 utility program. The utility
program allows the user to calibrate the multimeter display, calibrate the system LCD
display, and change the firmware in the module control circuit board. The utility program
requires Windows 95 HyperTerminal (or Windows Terminal), a null modem cable, and a PC
to communicate with the operator.
The utility program allows the user to perform the following functions:1) set all meter
calibrations to the factory defaults, 2) calibrate the multimeter parameters, 3) calibrate the
system LCD display parameters, 4) upload firmware to the module control circuit board
microprocessors, 5) adjust the module bias level, and 6) adjust the IPA bias level.
Some of the operations can be performed by the transmitter user. Some of the operations
can only be performed by the user when instructed by Broadcast Electronics Technical
Services. Some of the operations cannot be performed by the user. The following text
presents the utility program operations.
Step 1 – Record The Transmitter And Module Values. Record the transmitter and module
values by performing the following procedure. The re-calibration procedure requires a Bird
wattmeter. Therefore, record the wattmeter values also.
Operate the MULTIMETER to record the following values for an RF amplifier module. Select
only one module such as module l and record the values.
Combiner N/A
PA Voltage N/A
Step 2 – Replace the Microprocessor Module. Replace the microprocessor module as follows:
Open the transmitter controller door and locate the microprocessor module (Figure 24).
2. Using your hands, gently pull the module from the header.
3. Orient the new microprocessor module as shown and insert the module in header J1
(Figure 24).
Step 4 – Utility Program Initial Operation. The utility program requires Windows 95/9s
HyperTerminal or Windows Terminal. To establish a connection to the FM-10S/FMi 703
transmitter using the terminal program, proceed as follows:
3. Move the cursor to the HYPERTERMINAL shortcut and double-click the mouse. The
HYPERTERMINAL program will appear.
The FM-10S/FMi 703 utility program main display will appear (refer to Figure 27).
Step 5 – System LCD Calibration. All the parameters displayed by the SYSTEM LCD are
calibrated by the L command. The command calibrates the function selected on the
transmitter SYSTEM LCD at the time of calibration. For example, if the SYSTEM LCD is
configured to display FORWARD POWER, the value entered using the L command will
calibrate the forward power. To re-calibrate the SYSTEM LCD, proceed as follows:
1. To calibrate the transmitter forward power, the transmitter output power must be
adjusted to normal using an external wattmeter such as a Bird 472O Thruline with a 10
kW element. Connect the transmitter to the wattmeter and adjust the forward power as
follows:
D. Enable the transmitter and operate the POWER CONTROL rotary switch to adjust the
output power until the forward power value recorded in Step 1 is present on the external
wattmeter.
B. Depress: L
C. Enter the forward power meter value recorded in Step 1. For example, to enter a forward
power value of 10.1 kW, enter: 10.1.
D. Depress: Enter.
Repeat the preceding forward power calibration step for reflected power and PA voltage.
Enter the transmitter values recorded in Step 1.
Step 6 – Multimeter Calibration. All the parameters displayed by the MULTIMETER are
calibrated by the M command. The command calibrates the function selected on the
transmitter MULTIMETER LCD at the time of calibration. For example, if the MULTIMETER
LCD is configured to display MODULE FORWARD POWER, the value entered using the M
command will calibrate the module forward power. To re-calibrate the multimeter, proceed
as follows:
B. Depress: M
C. Enter the module forward power meter value recorded in Step 1. Typically, only module
currents contain decimal points.
For example, to enter a current of 18.5 Amperes, enter: 18.5. To enter a forward power
value of 570 watts, enter: 570.
D. Depress: Enter.
2. Repeat the procedure for module reflected power, module current, L combiner, and R
combiner. Enter the transmitter values recorded in Step 1.
Step 7 – Quit Utility Program. Once the values are entered, the re-calibration process is
complete. Exit the utility program as follows:
1. Depress: Q
GENERAL. The FM-10S/FMi 703 SYSTEM and MULTIMETER displays can be re-calibrated if
required. The re-calibration is accomplished using the FM-10S/FMi 703 utility program. A
complete description of the program is presented in MICROPROCESSOR MODULE
FIRMWARE UPGRADE (refer to the preceding text).

in FIRMWARE UPGRADE - PROCEDURE (refer to the preceding text) to establish a connection
to the FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter using the terminal program.
Step 3 – System LCD Calibration. All the parameters displayed by the SYSTEM LCD are
calibrated by the L command. Typically, only the forward power, reflected power, and the
PA voltage require calibration. The command calibrates the function selected on the
transmitter SYSTEM LCD at the time of calibration. For example, if the SYSTEM LCD is
configured to display FORWARD POWER, the value entered using the L command will
calibrate the forward power. To re-calibrate the SYSTEM LCD, refer to Step 5 – System LCD
Calibration in FIRMWARE UPGRADE - PROCEDURE (refer to the preceding text) to calibrate
the SYSTEM LCD.
Step 4 – Quit Utility Program. Once the values are entered, the re-calibration process is

Step 2 – Utility Program Initial Operation. Refer to Step 4 - Utility Program Initial Operation
in FIRMWARE UPGRADE - PROCEDURE (refer to the preceding text) to establish a connection
to the FM-10S transmitter using the terminal program.
Step 3 – Multimeter Calibration. All the parameters displayed by the MULTIMETER are
calibrated by the M command. The command calibrates the function selected on the
transmitter MULTIMETER at the time of calibration. For example, if the MULTIMETER is
configured to display MODULE FORWARD POWER, the value entered using the M command
will calibrate the module forward power. To re-calibrate the MULTIMETER, refer to Step 6 -
Multimeter Calibration in FIRMWARE UPGRADE - PROCEDURE (refer to the preceding text) to
calibrate the MULTIMETER.
Step 4 – Quit Utility Program. Once the values are entered, the re-calibration process is
complete. Exit the utility program as follows:
1. Depress: Q
GENERAL. In the event the meter calibrations become inadvertently mis-calibrated, the F
command can be used to reset all calibration parameters to the factory defaults. The factory
defaults are the values prior to the factory test setup. As a result, each system LCD or
multimeter parameter must be re-entered. The values for the parameters can be located in
the factory test data sheets. The SYSTEM LCD parameters include:1) forward power, 2)
reflected power, and 3) PA voltage. The MULTIMETER parameters include: 1) module
forward power, 2) module reflected power, 3) module current, and 4) module temperature.
The command can be used during on-air operation. The reset is accomplished using the FM-
SYSTEM LCD AND MULTIMETER RESET – PROCEDURE. To reset the SYSTEM LCD and
MULTIMETER parameters, proceed as follows:
Step 2 – Utility Program Initial Operation. Refer to Step 4 - Utility Program Initial Operation
in FIRMWARE UPGRADE – PROCEDURE (refer to the preceding text) to establish a connection
to the FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter using the terminal program.
Step 3 – Reset and Quit. To reset all the meter calibrations, proceed as follows:
1. Depress: F
2. Depress: Q
Step 4 – Re–Enter the System LCD and Mulitmeter Values. Refer to SYSTEM LCD AND
MULTIMETER RE-CALIBRATION in the preceding text and perform the procedure to re-enter
the meter parameter values.
GENERAL. The FM-10S/FMi 703 utility program R command establishes the reflected power
level when the transmitter will begin automatic foldback operation. The factory default is
6OO watts. The command: 1) is to be used only when instructed by Broadcast Electronics
Technical Services and 2) can be executed during on-air operation. A complete description of
the program is presented in MICROPROCESSOR MODULE FIRMWARE UPGRADES (refer to
the preceding text).

Step 3 – Calibrate And Quit. To calibrate the reflected power foldback level, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the reflected power level when the transmitter is to begin automatic foldback
operation.
2. Depress: R
3. Enter the reflected power value as directed by Broadcast Electronics Technical Services.
Enter the values without the decimal point. For example, to enter a reflected power
value of 500 watts, enter: 500.
4. Depress: Enter.
5. Depress: Q
GENERAL. The FM-10S utility program U command uploads new firmware to the module
control microprocessors. The command: 1) is to be used only when instructed by Broadcast
Electronics Technical Services and 2) can be executed only during a maintenance period (no
on-air broadcast). The new firmware file MCF.BIN must be at the PC prior to beginning the

7. Depress: Q
The RF power amplifier module amplifier and interface circuit boards contain calibration
controls. The power amplifier circuit board is equipped with bias level control R109 and
matching control C116. The interface circuit board is equipped with forward calibration
control R1, reflected power calibration control R2, current offset adjust control R26, current
calibration control R27, amplifier A input match control C29, and amplifier B input match
control C23. Due to the critical nature and specialized test equipment required to adjust the
controls, the controls are not considered field adjustable. If the controls are to be adjusted,
contact Broadcast Electronics Technical Services.
For an FX-50 exciter, refer to SECTION 4, AFC/PLL ASSEMBLY in FX-50 publication 597-l050
and perform the FREQUENCY SELECTION procedure. For an FXi 60, refer to publication 597-
054l and follow the GUI interface for changing the frequency. Operate and test the exciter
independently from the transmitter.
Energize the transmitter primary AC power and operate the transmitter at the desired output
power level as indicated by the in-line wattmeter.
If a difference in values presented on the in-line wattmeter and the transmitter multimeter is
observed, the transmitter forward power display may be re-calibrated. To re-calibrate the
forward power meter, refer to METER CALIBRATION/FIRMWARE
UPLOADING in the preceding text and perform the System LCD Calibration procedure.

5.2.12 TROUBLESHOOTING.
TYPICAL METER INDICATIONS. Typical meter indications for the FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter
are presented in the factory final test data sheets shipped with each transmitter. Some
typical meter indications are presented in TABLE 5. For specific meter indications, refer to
the factory test data sheets (located in the final text data sheet envelope).
The output power provided during the failure mode is determined by the type and location
of the failure. For example, if only one module fails, the transmitter output power will be 9.5
kW. If two modules fail on the same motherboard/combiner portion of the transmitter, the
transmitter output power will output approximately 7.5 kW. Table 6 presents the failure
combinations of RF power modules in each cabinet, the total number of failed modules and
the typical transmitter output power.
The transmitter will also output power if a power supply module fails. Table 7 presents the
failure combinations of power supply modules in each cabinet, the total number of failed
power supply modules and the typical transmitter output power.
TRANSMITTER COMPONENT LOCATIONS. Figure 32, through Figure 41, represent the
transmitter component locations. Refer to Figure 32, through Figure 41 as required during
the troubleshooting procedures to locate components within the transmitter.
POWER AMPLIFIER POWER SUPPLY MODULES. The FM-10S/FMi 703 is equipped with
modular switching power supply units (refer to Figure 38). The power supplies are equipped
with internal protection for high AC line voltage, high temperature conditions, and over-
current conditions. If a supply is suspected to contain a fault, contact Broadcast Electronics
Technical Services.
LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY. The FM-10S/FMi 703 transmitter low voltage power supply
provides DC power for the controller circuitry (refer to Figure 37). The power supply is
equipped with a fuse and should be checked if a failure occurs. To check the low voltage
power supply module, proceed as follows:
Check the power supply fuse. If the power supply fuse has not blown, contact Broadcast
Electronics Technical Services.
Once the power supply troubleshooting has been completed, re-install the supply by
reversing the preceding procedure.
POWER AMPLIFIER AND IPA MODULE TROUBLESHOOTING. Each transmitter power amplifier
module contains circuitry requiring specialized equipment and test procedures for
troubleshooting and repair operations. However, if it is determined that a power amplifier
circuit board has failed, the repair can be performed in the field. For all other types of
failures, contact Broadcast Electronics Technical Services to: 1) exchange a defective module
for a reconditioned module or 2) obtain a module on loan during the repair of the defective
module.
A. Remove the retaining screw and then loosen the knurled captive fastener.
3. Remove the 4 screws securing the cover to the power amplifier module and remove the
cover.
A. Remove the 4 screws securing the RF amplifier circuit board to the heatsink.
C. Unsolder the ground and RF output tabs from the combiner. Unsolder each tab
as follows:
D. Slide the amplifier circuit board from J1 and J2 on the interface circuit board and
remove circuit board from the module.
5. Replace the circuit board by performing the above removal procedure in reverse order.
7. Refer to Figure 42, and replace the power amplifier module as follows:
A. Orient and align the module as shown between the guides. Slide the module into
the chassis.
B. Ensure the module alignment pins are centered in the alignment holes in the
motherboard and firmly push the module into the motherboard.
C. Secure the module to the chassis using the retaining screw and the knurled
captive fastener.
On all circuit boards, the adhesive securing the copper trace to the board melts at almost the
same temperature at which solder melts. A circuit board trace can be destroyed by excessive
heat or lateral movement during soldering. Use of a small iron with steady pressure is
required for circuit board repairs.
To remove a component from a circuit board, cut the leads from the body of the defective
component while the device is still soldered to the board.
Grip each component lead, one at a time, with long-nose pliers. Rotate the circuit board and
touch a soldering iron to the lead at the solder connection. When the solder begins to melt,
push the lead through the back side of the board. Each lead may now be heated
independently and pulled out of each hole. The holes may be cleared of solder by carefully
re-heating each hole with a low wattage iron and removing the residual solder with a
soldering vacuum tool.
Install the new component and apply solder from the bottom side of the circuit board. After
soldering, remove flux with a cotton swab moistened with a suitable solvent. Rubbing
alcohol is highly diluted and is not effective.
The board should be checked to ensure the flux has been removed and not just smeared.
Rosin flux is not normally corrosive, but rosin will absorb enough moisture in time to
become conductive and cause problems.
