FOREWORD (how to consult the manual)
1. MANUAL ORGANIZATION The manual is composed of the following sections: – section 1 “Operator’s Manual” . . . . . . . . . . . . including general information, installation guide, operating instructions, maintenance; – section 2 “Technical Manual” . . . . . . . . . . . . . dealing with units and sub-units which make up the equipment;

2. CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS (HOW TO CONSULT THEM)
2.1 Acronyms CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS ARE IDENTIFIED BY ACRONYMS AFTER THE DRAWING NUMBER (I.E.: 6320636082IC). A LIST OF THE ACRONYMS USED IS GIVEN HERE BELOW:

acronym IC ED CL ML

explanation wiring diagram circuit diagram component layout Mechanical layout

2.2 Classification of wiring cables
Wiring cables (unipolar, multipolar, flat cables) are identified by an alphanumeric code on circuit diagrams; this code is composed of 4 digits as follows: – 1st digit is ‘W’ (for wiring) – 2nd digit identifies the type of wiring (e.g.: ac connections, dc connections, RF connections etc.) as follows:
1 . . . for AC connections; 2 . . . for DC connections; 3 . . . for RF connections; 4 . . . for LF connections; 5 . . . for logic signals, alarms connections. – 3rd and 4th digits indicate the progressive numbering for each type of wiring.

W312

EXAMPLE

W207

twelfth RF cable RF connection wiring cable

seventh DC cable DC connection wiring cable

2.3 Connection of wiring cables The wiring cables between two connectors, are always intended pin-to-pin unless otherwise specified. In the event the wiring is not pin-to-pin, it is shown on the drawing.

2.4 Symbols and identifications of connectors/terminal blocks

Connectors and terminal boards arranged inside an equipment, a unit or a board, are identified on the associated circuit diagram, by symbols as follows:

symbol

objetc male connector identified by “Jx”
female connector identified by “Jx”
terminal block identified by “Kx”
coaxial cable identified by “Wx”

Both for connectors and terminal blocks, the numbering is progressive within each equipment, unit, or board; that is on a general wiring diagram two or more “J6” (or “K3”) may exist because they are arranged inside different equipment, unit or board.
Male and female connectors are identified respectively by “J” and “P” in some circuit diagrams before the year 2000.
However a connector (or terminal block) will always have the same identification number both on the general wiring diagram of the unit and on the general wiring diagram of the equipment where the unit is arranged.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
1.1.1 Manual Applicability This Operator’s Manual provides system-oriented information, procedures and data for operation and installation of the following transmitter belonging to the Genesis Aqua line: D Genesis Aqua Series TXs 3KW UHF transmitter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . p/n. BE-TV- LUI From here on for the sake of simplicit,ythroughout this manual,Genesis Aqua Series TXs 3KW UHF transmitter will be referred to as Genesis Aqua Tx. The contents of the present manual are arranged in sections according to the following: – 1.: General Information – 2.: Installation – 3.: Operations – 4.: Maintenance
1.1.2 Physical description The transmitter used, belonging to the Genesis Aqua line, is designed for digital broadcasting and operate in UHF (band IV/V) delivering output power of 3 KWavg. The equipments fully comply with the requirements for the safety of personnel as specified in IEC 215 rules. Each unit is designed in order to be easily removed and individually checked. The amplifier modules are hot-pluggable thanks to the use of isolated combiners, allowing safe removal and insertion without interrupting transmitter operation. The Genesis Aqua Tx is arranged in 42HE-19″ steel rack-frame, which guarantees an optimum mechanical rigidity.
Genesis Aqua Tx transmitter is made up by the following units available to the operator on cabinet-front panel (refer to Fig. 1.1): D RF Monitor panel D Central Control Unit D Exciter D RF Power Amplifier module The following units are arranged within the cabinet and they are available to the operator from the rear side of the cabinet by opening the rear door:
D UHF Splitter/Combiner system D Output Directional Couplers
Genesis Aqua transmitter is air/liquid cooled: the liquid is used to cool HPAs (High Power Amplifiers) and unbalance loads of the output combiner; the air is used to cool both the exciter and the CCU by their own internal fans.
The cooling of the rack is obtained by the forced convection process of the warmed up air flow getting out of cabinet by means of a fan installed on the top cover.
The liquid cooling system is closed loop type. The circulator and the expansion vessel are arranged inside the cabinet on the bottom panel, the heat exchangers needed for this kind of cooling may be placed far away from the transmitter.

1.1.3 Units Description of the transmitter RF MONITOR PANEL The panel supports the connectors (BNC female) for monitoring transmitter RF output power (fwd and rfl) before and after filter (if present).
RF MONITOR
EXCITER The unit uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) modulation, with a large number of sub-carriers delivering a robust signal. LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding combined with BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri- Hocquengham) coding offers excellent performance in the presence of high noise levels and interference, resulting in a very robust signal. Several options are available in areas such as the number of carriers, guard interval sizes and pilot signals, so that the overheads can be minimised for any target transmission channel. The Rotated Constellations technique, provides significant additional robustness in difficult channels. Also, a mechanism is provided to separately adjust the robustness of each delivered service within a channel to meet the required reception conditions (e.g. in-door antenna /roof-top antenna). This same mechanism allows transmissions to be tailored such that a receiver can save power by decoding only a single programme rather than a whole multiplex of programmes. DVB-T2 also specifies a transmitter diversity method, known as MISO (Multiple Input – Multiple Output), which improves coverage in smallscale single-frequency networks. Finally, DVB-T2 has defined a way that the standard can be compatibly enhanced in the future through the use of Future Extension Frames. The modulator is able to modulate either an MPEG2 or T2-MI Transport Stream into a DVB- T2 fully compliant RF signal. With its integrated RF up-converter option, the modulator outputs an RF signal that can be directly exploited for live broadcasting or testing purposes. It generates the exact signal needed for any DVB-T2 deployment, validation campaign, debug test, integration constraints simulation with a broadcast quality signal that is required by operators, and matches with terrestrial transmitting systems.

CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT Central Control Unit (CCU) guarantees the complete and easy management of the entire equipment. The unit monitors in real time each module contained in the equipment. The CONTROL LOGIC unit carries out the interface between the transmitter and the operator or the software supervisory system, if it is required. All the information about the functioning state of the the amplifier modules, the cooling system and the general status of the transmitter are available on the Control Logic front panel display. Control Logic unit is also able to manage the dual-exciter configuration.
The unit housed on board of the reserve Tx is equipped with a different firmware version which allows the management of the (N+1) transmission systems in passive stand-by configuration (N v 9). If the output power of one of the on-air transmitters falls below 3dB with respect to the nominal power, the CCU manages the exchange between the faulty transmitter and the reserve transmitter. The operator can set priority levels between transmitters. The CCU ensures system management in a simple and complete way. The unit checks each transmitter in real time. The CCU also interfaces between the system and the operator or with a supervision system if required. All information on the system operating status and the general status of the transmitters is available on the CCU front panel display.

RF AMPLIFIER (qty 2) The High Power Amplifier used is W6-232L. It is a full LDMOS wideband amplifier capable of delivering a nominal output power of 1600Wavg. W6-232L is manufactured using high reliability, solid state components. The module is made up of a pre-driver stage, a driver stage and of a final stage. In turn the final stage is made up of six amplifier stages oprrating with Doherty technology. Easy maintenance is ensured by a microprocessor which indicates in real time all faulty elements, thanks to a series of detectors. At the input of each module there is a phase and amplitude regulation control, which ensures that it can be coupled to other module of the same type. W6-232L has its own switch-mode power supply built-in and it is self protected against over-temperature, overcurrents, over-voltage, overdrive and high reflected power. The amplifier module is hot-pluggable.

1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT This paragraph provides a functional description of the transmitter; the description below, refers to the following figures: – Fig. 1.2 block diagram of Genesis Aqua Tx RF section; – Fig. 1.3 block diagram of Genesis Aqua Tx Control section; – Fig. 1.4 block diagram of Genesis Aqua Tx Power supply section; – Fig. 1.5 Genesis Aqua Tx cooling system.
1.2.1 Genesis Aqua Tx RF section The input signals enter the exciter whose output is sent to the amplification chain. The amplification chain is made up by an attenuator, a 2-way splitter, two amplifier modules and a 2-way combiner. The RF output signal from the combiner passes consecutively through a first directional coupler (before the band pass filter), the band pass filter, the second directional coupler (after the band pass filter) and finally is sent to the antenna. The directional couplers allow to to monitor the RF output power before and after the filter. The forward (fwd) and reflected (rfl) power samples, picked up from output directional coupler are routed, via the boards of logic section, to Central Control Unit unit in order to be processed for displaying the relevant measurement. Two other samples of fwd output power from picked up from the directional couplers are sent to the exciter to be processed for the precorrection operations.

1.2.2 Genesis Aqua Tx Control section
Control section consists of a Central Control Unit, two CAN Bus Distributor, a Master HPA Borad, a PIB Parallel Interface and six PIB boards.

A CAN bus allows interfacing the logic section of the transmitter with the other units and detectors.

CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT allows transmitter management and collects information on general functioning of the transmitter, on general status of its cooling system and on amplifier modules status. The information is displayed on the liquid crystal display.

CAN BUS DISTRIBUTOR boards act as concentrators and distributors of information from transmitter units.

MASTER HPA BOARD interfaces the amplifiers modules and the parts of the transmitter involved with them (cooling liquid flow of amplifiers and of unbalance loads; temperature of unbalance loads heatsink) with CCU. The interfacing is through CAN BUS DSITRIBUTOR 1 and 2. The board also allows manual control of the transmitter if CCU is under failure conditions or removed for servicing: through Manual Control assembly it is possible starting/stopping transmitter and setting “exciter A” or “exciter B” on air. Manual Control assembly is disabled under normal operating condition (CCU operating).

PIB BOARDs interface the different peripherals to CAN BUS DSITRIBUTOR 1.

ETHERNET SWICTH (optional) allows the remote control of the transmitter via web server.

When a P.I.B. is faulty CCU displays the number associated to this P.I.B.: the following Tab. 1.1 lists the number of P.I.B. boards (column 1), its arrangement within the transmitter cabinet (column 2), the reference on the associated circuit digaram (column 3) and the board part number (column 4).

1.2.4 Genesis Aqua Tx Cooling system (ref. Fig. 1.5)
The liquid cooling system, consists mainly of the following parts:
– a cold plate inside each RF amplifier module; – one circulator; – an expansion vessel; – one heat exchanger (placed far away from the transmitter cabinet); – two sensors, one for the liquid temperature measurement and other used as flow-rate
meter (both arranged at the liquid output manifold).
The liquid cooling system is based on a recirculating liquid loop. In fact the coolant is continuously circulating through the electronic equipment through a circuit where two manifolds distribute the liquid flow to the units of the transmitter. An inlet branch conduct splits equally the flow rate among module cold plates. The module cold-plates allows to dissipate the high thermal power produced by the amplifier stages.
The liquid flow is also conveyed towards the cold plate where the unbalance loads of the output combiner are assembled.
Changing the operating conditions, from the cold plate to the exchangers, there are high variations (increases/decreases) in pressure, volume and temperature.
An expansion vessel is used to contain these variations in pressure and volume which, otherwise, could compromise the safety and operation of the circuit. it is a metal container with an inner air chamber divided into two variable volume chambers, one containing the circuit fluid (the water, almost incompressible), the other containing air or gas (compressible) preloaded at a given pressure by means of a special valve. The division between the two chambers can take place thanks to a bag or an elastic membrane. This air chamber absorbs the variations in water volume, making the operation of the system much more stable and certainly safer.
The coolant is a mixture composed by liquid and antifreeze like glycol.
All the cooling system is managed by Central Control Unit. The start signal from CCU allows switching-on the circulator and the heat exchanger. The same unit collects all the alarm signals related to the liquid cooling system fault as excessive water temperature (“oC MAX”), fluid flow rate out of working range (“LIQUID FLOW ALARM”), circulator fault (“circulator FAULT”) and exchanger fault (“BLOWER 1″ FAULT”). All of these signals belong to the set of Cooling Control unit alarms, and they can stop via CAN bus the transmitter already running. In this event a “Cooling Fault” alarm is displayed on CCU.

2.: INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides drawings and information concerning installation of Genesis Aqua TX transmitter. This paragraph deals with the actions normally performed when the equipment has to be moved. More in detail paragraph 2.2 gives information and installation drawings, to mount and interconnect the equipment. 2.1.1 Requirements for Installation
The definition of the site where the equipment has to be installed is determined by the careful analysis of its standard dimensions (see Fig. 2.1). There are no specific constraints in the installation of the equipment, however the site must be defined in order to satisfy the following requirements and ensure the best utilization of the equipment: – Each unit must be installed in such a way to provide optimum performance as long as it is
possible. – The room in which the equipment is housed must to be provided with controls of the envi-
ronmental conditions. – The ambient temperature must be kept in a range from 0°C to +45°C. Outside this temper-
ature range, regular functioning of the equipment is not guaranteed. – The relative humidity can reach 90% maximum, without condensation. Higher humidity
encourages corrosion and deterioration of the equipment structures and in a short time could damage the insulation among the electrical parts which are subject to high voltage. – It also encourages CONDENSATION on the internal and external surfaces causing therefore severe damage especially to the electrical parts of the equipment subject to high voltage. – In the room where the equipment is housed, filters must be present at all air inlets and louvres at all air outlets. No sources of dust, even potential, ought to be present; in fact the dust may cause the clogging of the cooling system. – The space around the unit must be sufficient to permit installation and maintenance. The amount of clearance from walls or other equipments must include the space necessary to open the doors. – Sufficient space for cable connectors must also be available. In light of the above, any solution which limits the accessibility must be considered inacceptable. 2.1.2 Transport
The cabinet and the equipment units have been carefully packed for transport; the equipment cabinet may travel both in vertical and in horizontal position. Four eye-bolts placed on the upper part of the cabinet are used to lift it.
NOTE!
INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE DURING TRANSPORT
When the equipment arrives at destination, it should be inspected immediately for possible damage incurred during transport.
If any damage is found, both the insurance company and the shipping agent must be informed immediately. If the name of the insurance company is unknown, a Lloyd’s inspector should be called in.

Genesis Aqua Series TXs:: 2. Installation
2.1.3 Unpacking
No particular procedures are necessary to unpack the crate. However, it is suggested to carry out this operation as close as possible to the final installation site. Avoid damage to the crate and to the packing material inside them, so they can be re-utilized in case the equipment should be moved to another installation site.
2.1.4 Storage
After the material contained in the crate has been inspected and it has been verified for damages, the unit shall be stored in its original packing until the time of installation. The storage deposit must be well protected and free from humidity.
Avoid keeping the units in storage for a long time, scheduling the delivery date precisely. Long time storage may cause frequency failures during the initial period of utilization.
If the equipment should be kept in storage for a long time, it is advisable to insert hygroscopic substances (such as silicon gel salts) in the crates.
2.1.5 Repacking
The packing methods may be different according to: the transportation means, the environment, the expected period of inactivity and the storage.
The following suggestions are referred to a typical package able to withstand by land, by sea or by air transportation.
The cabinet must be inserted in a proper wooden box lined internally with polistyrene foam tailored to the cabinet dimensions. When the cabinet has been introduced, a packet of dehydrant must be added and the box must be closed with a polistyrene foam cover first and then with a wooden cover provided with hinges on one side and locking devices on the other side.
Finally the box must be properly wrapped with iron or plastic straps which can withstand very hard handling causing the box to be opened.

2.2 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
The installation procedure consists of the steps described in the following paragraphs:
2.2.1 Racks set up (refer to Fig. 2.1) D POSITIONING AND LINING UP RACK Transmitter cabinet must be fitted, fixed in place and lined up (in horizontal) after it has been placed in the desired position. Four bolts on the front/rear bottom of the rack are used for this purpose. These bolts must be unscrewed until they touch the floor. In this way they block and allow lining up the racks.
2.2.2 Connection of the equipment to the ground system of the site (refer to Fig. 2.3) D Grounding is made using the special termination (copper bar) found within the cabinets at the bottom and pointed out by the label . It should be kept in mind that good ground contact is not always achieved merely by locking through bolts. Defective grounding not only may represent a danger to personnel, but can also increase possibilities of interferences or abnormal functioning.To prevent or reduce interference between the transmitter and other telecommunication equipments all external shields must be connected to the ground terminal board. This connection also serves to prevent formation of static loads on the unit. Suitable thru-holes, available on the bottom panel of the cabinet, allow the entry of the ground cable.
2.2.3 Fitting units to the cabinets (refer to Fig. 2.4 and to the system wiring diagrams)
Due to their weight for safety reasons, some units of the system are packed separately, so it is necessary to fit them to the cabinets. The units that have to be fitted are: D EXCITERS D AMPLIFIERS MODULES
D FITTING EXCITER UNITS The exciter unit must be inserted into the cabinet in its suitable housing in the space under the CCU unit. Connection of the units must be carried out according to the wiring diagram included on divider no. 6 “Wiring diagrams”.
D FITTING AMPLIFIERS MODULES Amplifiers modules must be inserted into transmitter cabinet, in their suitable housings. To have the best performance of the equipment, insert the units according to the numbering shown on the side uprights of the cabinets. The number of each amplification unit is shown on a label on the top cover of the amplifier itself. No operation is required to the operator for connection of the amplifiers modules since fitting them inside their frame both electrical and hydraulic connections are made.
NOTE!
Make sure that the taps on the liquid manifold (inside the cabinet) are open.

2.2.7 Filling the hydraulic circuit (refer to Fig. 2.10)
Once the hydraulic connections of the tarnsmitter cabinet to heat exchangers have been carried out (see previous para. 2.2.6 “Hydraulic connections” – Fig. 2.7, Fig. 2.8 and Fig. 2.9), it is necessary to fill the cooling circuit. The capacity of the huydraulic circuit depends on the characteristics of the installation site that determines the length of the connections.
Follow the directions given here below in order to operate safely and correctly.
CAUTION!
Carry out the operation with transmitter switched-off

Prepare the coolant by mixing water and glycol according to the thinning ratios shown in Tab. 2.1:
CAUTION!
30% is the minimum of glycol percentage for a good protection of cooling circuit. For low temperature the thinning ratio must be increased as listed on the following table.

Tab. 2.1 – Glycol thinning ratio

EXT. TEMP. (OC)
tw -15oC -15oCwtw -20oC -20oCwtw -35oC -35oCwtw -45oC

EXT. TEMP. (OF)
tw 5oF 5oFwtw -4oF -4oFwtw -31oF -31oFwtw -41.8oF

GLYCOL (%)
30% 40% 50% 60%

CAUTION!
Coolant must be renewed every 5 years, unless glycol with longer life is used (see manufacturers’ indications). ELECTROSYS recommends the following TEXACO type of glycol: D Havoline Extended Life (ethylene type) Lifetime of this glycol is 5 years.

WARNING!
CIRCULATORS MUST BE NEVER OPERATED WITHOUT LIQUID IN THE CIRCUIT.
At the first switching-on, cooling alarms may occur until the cooling circuit is not completely filled. In the meantime transmitter stops and starts again until the steady condition is reached.

WARNING!
Disregarding the above rules will cause the warranty to expireand will release Electrosys from any responsibility!

Now follow the directions of Fig. 2.10.

4.: MAINTENANCE

4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 Introduction to Maintenance
The purpose of this section is to assist the maintenance personnel in keeping the equipment at best operational status. Maintenance can be subdivided into the following actions:
D PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
D CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance refers to maintenance procedures which have to be carried out periodically so as to prevent malfunctions. Corrective maintenance includes a series of tables representing a troubleshooting guide used to locate the most likely area where a malfunction has occurred or reference to the equipment manuals.
4.1.2 Maintenance tools
Maintenance tools include Commercial, Standard and Special Tools used for the 1st and 2nd levels of Maintenance. Commercial Tools include the tools normally used for the maintenance activities (screwdrivers, pliers,soldering irons, etc.) and are normally available on the local market. Standards Tools include those materials considered as standard for maintenance activities (coax cables of standard length, coax adapters, etc.) and are available on the local market and/or from the manufacturer of the Equipment. Special Tools include tools prepared by the manufacturer for maintenance requirements and are available only from the manufacturer of the Equipment for which they are designed.
4.1.3 Test Instruments
The Test Instruments required on-site in order to carry out the maintenance activities are listed in the technical manual pertinent to aech unit. Please note that all the listed Test Instruments are of commercial type and may be substituted by equivalents available on the local market.

4.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

This chapter deals with the suggested preventive maintenance operations to guarantee continued performance of the equipment. The preventive maintenance operations are grouped in a table according to their periodicity. The following paragraphs describe those operations which cannot be considered procedures but which have to be carried out for the correct operation of the Equipment. These operations are also listed in the preventive maintenance table.

4.2.1 General Instruction

All Equipment parts shall be examined to check for dust or dirt, overheating, loose screws and foreign bodies. Dust, for example, may cause current discharges or leakages.

1 Cabinets Cabinets, through which the ventilation air flows, need to be internally cleaned from dust. Cleaning can be carried out using a vacuum cleaner for the accessible parts or a clean, dry cloth or bristle brush.

2 Air Filters Cabinet air filters shall be disassembled and cleaned to eliminate the dust accumulated during Equipment operation. The cleaning intervals depend on the number of Equipment operational hours and on the amount of dust present in the room where the Equipment operates. However, generally filters should be cleaned on monthly basis. If the dust layer is thin, it can be removed using a pressurized water spray; then dried by means of compressed air. If the dust layer is hard, dip the filter in hot water for approximately 20 minutes. Then clean the filter by means of a pressurized water spray, dry using compressed air; when perfectly dry, reassemble inside the cabinet.

3 Connections Cables Connection cables shall be periodically examined to ensure that breaks in the external insulating coating are not present to cause possible short-circuits. Cover the parts showing deterioration of the insulating coating. Coaxial cables shall be carefully examined since they can be easily damaged by crushing or sharp bends. Connectors shall be checked to ascertain that corrosion is not present on their metallic contacts. Cables showing damages must be protected and eventually replaced.
4 Terminal Blocks Terminal blocks shall be examined to ascertain that there are no traces of dirt, loose wires or excess solder on the terminals, which could cause undue contacts with the adjacent terminals. Fixing screws or mounting brackets shall be tightened. Terminal boards shall be cleaned using a dry cloth or bristle brush.
5 Mechanical Inspection According to the environmental conditions, periodically check and lubricate the following mechanical parts: – hinges of front doors; – hinges of rear doors.

4.2.3.2 Filling the hydraulic circuit Follow the procedure given in Chap 2.: Installaltion; para. 2.2.7.
4.2.4 Cleaning the heat exchanger Dependant on each specific application attention must be paid to external material surfaces. AIR FINS CLEANING: this operation can be carried out using controlled compressed air or low pressure water jetting. Care must be taken not to directly impinge onto the fin corrugations to prevent fin deflection damage.
4.2.5 Cleaning of the Y filter The frequency in carrying out the Y filter maintenance increases much more the impurities in the coolant grow. At least, It’s recommended to clean the filter once a year to limit the impurities level in order not to both damage the cartridge filter and reduce consistently the coolant flow rate. To carry out the cleaning of the Y Filter follow the procedure shown below: 1. Arrange the 3-way valves in the bypassing filter position (ref. to Fig. 4.2).

Fig. 4.2 – 3-way valves bypassing arrangement 2. Unscrew the screw plug and pull out the cartridge filter as shown below; clean it using run-
ning water and, if it’s necessary, a non-metallic brush too (ref. to Fig. 4.3).

4.3 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

Causes which give rise to a corrective maintenance action can derive from: D Out of tolerance conditions of standard levels, waveforms and timings, detected during
preventive maintenance; D Failure conditions shown either by displays and/or LEDs. D Failure conditions detected by operative personnel.

Restoring the unit to operation in a short time also depends on the availability of spare parts and components. Futher details on how to carry out maintenance procedures of the units are shown in the relevant technical manuals.

ETHERNET INTERFACE USER’S GUIDE
1.1 INTRODUCTION The Ethernet Interface has inside three Internet Protocol Suite protocols: H HTTP H Telnet H SNMP
1.2 TELNET PROTOCOL The manufacturer has developed Telnet server as a tools for changing basic parameters remotely. For connection to Telnet server a Telnet client is needed.
1.3 OPENING A TELNET SESSSION If you are connecting for the first time, these are the steps to follow: 1. Open the command prompt window, type “telnet ” (in Fig. 2.1, the IP address is 10.0.12.248) and then push ‘enter’. If the server does not answer, you have to wait a few seconds and try again. The hardware that handles the Ethernet protocol needs a while to initialize itself. If after some attempts the connection is impossible, you can reset the system.
Fig. 2.1 2. For logging in, type “admin” and “system” as password. Now you are logged in (Fig. 2.2).
Fig. 2.2 1.4 HELP
Typing “Help”, the server will give a view of all command, of the syntax and a brief description of each command (Fig. 2.3):
Fig. 2.3

ETHERNET INTERFACE

1.5 COMMANDS

The server parameters and privilege tables are stored in a no-volatile memory. The commands make it possible to set the basic server parameters. These are:

H IP address H Subnet H Gateway

1.5.1 Changing the server IP address, Subnet and Gateway

When the connection is established, using the default parameters you can change the server ip address, subnet and gateway, with the following commands:

H “SrvSetCfg -i

type the new address here

H “SrvSetCfg -s” type the new subnet here

H “SrvSetCfg -g” type the new gateway here
You can change several parameters simultaneously typing the relevant commands, i.e: H “SrvSetCfg -i” -s
Take note the new server IP address, because this will be the new IP address that you will have to use for server connections. Example: (Fig. 2.4) We want change the server ip address. The new ip address that we want set is 10.0.12.249.

Fig. 2.4
NOTE!
Once the IP address, subnet and gateway have been changed, the telnet session is terminated and you have to open a new one with the new IP address.

ETHERNET INTERFACE
1.5.2 Getting the server configuration Typing “SrvGetCfg”, you get information on server configuration (Fig. 2.5).
Fig. 2.5 1.5.3 About server parameters commands
The privilege management is completely achieved for all protocols (HTTP, SNMP, Telnet) through two tables. The first one contains all users and the relevant passwords of the system. Each user has only one level (from 0 to 3) showing the privilege of the user in the system management. “Level 3” user (System Administrator) can access any possible operation on the equipment, that is:
H Telnet session for changing or updating the transmitter parameters and the users parameters.
H FTP for firmware upgrading. H HTTP page (R/W) for reading information and sending commands to the equip-
ment (supervisory system). H SNMP. The SNMP access is managed with the community table. Then this table
will have a description. “Level 2” user (Supervisor R/W can access:
H FTP for firmware upgrading. H HTTP page (R/W) for reading information and sending commands to the equip-
ment (supervisory system). H SNMP. The SNMP access is managed with the community table. Then this table
will have a description. “Level 1” user (Device Administrator) can access:
H HTTP page (R/W) for reading information and sending commands to the equipment (supervisory system).
H SNMP. The SNMP access is managed with the community table. Then this table will have a description.
“Level 0” user (Read Only) can access: H HTTP page (R) for reading information about the equipment (supervisory system). H SNMP. The SNMP access is managed with the community table. Then this table will have a description.
1.5.4 Getting the interface data Typing “iface”, you get information on interface data (Fig. 2.6).
Fig. 2.6

ETHERNET INTERFACE
1.5.5 Snmp agent Typing “SnmpGetCfg”, you get information on snmp agent configuration (Fig. 2.7).

Fig. 2.7
1.5.6 The SNMP community management The SNMP protocol has a privilege management that we can consider disconnected to the management for HTTP and Telnet. In particular the management is made through the community table. There are 3 community and the related passwords that to default are:

Community Read only Read/Write Trap Receiver

Password public private trap

Related level 0 1 2

Description Read Only Read and Write commands Receive Alarms

Changing the password requires to be a user of level 3 and to have the possibility to access to Telnet and to use the command:

H “SnmpSetPwd -r -s -t

type the new pwd of read only community here

type the new pwd of trap receiver community here

type the new pwd of read/write community here

1.5.7 Adding/Removing a trap destination A trap destination is an IP address (max 5) to which the system sends notifications of events occurred. Typing “AddTrapDest”, allows you adding a trap destination (Fig. 2.8).

Fig. 2.8 Typing “RemTrapDest”, allows you removing a trap destination (Fig. 2.9).

Fig. 2.9

ETHERNET INTERFACE
1.5.8 User List Typing “UserList”, you have the list of the users (Fig. 2.10).
Fig. 2.10 1.5.9 Adding/Deleting a User
In order to insert a new user type the command “UserAdd” (Fig. 2.11). The user name or the password is a word up to 10 characters and not shorter of 4, consisting of numbers or letters. The level is a number in the range (0 – 3). “UserAdd <0-3>”
type the level here type new user here If the user name you want insert already exists, the server will send you an error message. In the example of Fig. 2.11, the new user added is “operator” with level “3”.
Fig. 2.11 In order to delete a user type the command “UserDelete” (Fig. 2.12). In the example here below the user “operator” has been deleted.
Fig. 2.12 Note that a user of level 3 can erase or update any user. Default user of the unit is a level 3 user with user name “admin” and password “system”. Adding a new user of level 3, overwrites the “admin” user.
NOTE!
Take note of the password of user “admin”. Erasing the last user of level 3, restores “admin” user with its pwd: – “system” if it has not been changed; – last pwd set if “system” has been changed.
WARNING!
The passwords cannot be recovered! If the only administrator user forgets its password, it is no more possible to open a telnet session.

3. PUMPED LIQUIDS The machine has been designed and made for pumping water, free from explosive substances and solid particles or fibres, with a density of 1000 Kg/m³, a kinematic viscosity of 1mm²/s and non chemically aggressive liquids. It is possible to use ethylene glycol in a percentage of no more than 30%.
4. APPLICATIONS EVOPLUS SMALL series circulators allow integrated adjustment of the differential pressure which enables the circulator performance to be adapted to the actual requirements of the system. This determines considerable energy saving, a greater possibility of control of the system, and reduced noise.
EVOPLUS SMALL circulators are designed for the circulation of:
– water in heating and conditioning systems. – water in industrial water circuits. – domestic water only for the versions with bronze pump body.
EVOPLUS SMALL circulators are self-protected against: – Overloads – Lack of phase – Excess temperature – Over-voltage and under-voltage

5.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) EVOPLUS SMALL circulators respect standard EN 61800-3, in the C2 category, for electromagnetic compatibility.
– Electromagnetic emissions – Industrial environment (in some cases restrictive measures may be requested).
– Conducted emissions – Industrial environment (in some cases restrictive measures may be requested).
6. MANAGEMENT
6.1 Storage All the circulators must be stored in a dry covered place, with possibly constant air humidity, free from vibrations and dust. They are supplied in their original pack in which they must remain until the time of installation. If this is not the case, accurately close the suction and delivery mouth.
6.2 Transport Avoid subjecting the products to needless impacts and collisions. To lift and transport the circulator use lifting devices with the aid of the pallet supplied with it (if contemplated).
6.3 Weight The adhesive plate on the packaging indicates the total weight of the circulator.
7. INSTALLATION Carefully follow the advice in this chapter to carry out correct electrical, hydraulic and mechanical installation.
Always switch off the mains power supply before working on the electrical or mechanical part of the system. Wait for the warning lights on the control panel to go out before opening the appliance. The capacitor of the direct current intermediate circuit remains charged with dangerously high voltage even after the mains power has been turned off. Only firmly cabled mains connections are admissible. The appliance must be earthed (IEC 536 class 1, NEC and other applicable standards).
