SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Introduction
The Barrett 4075 high power HF Transmitter is a compact rack mounted communications solution developed for base station applications in large
HF networks. It can be supplied in 1kW and 500 W versions. The transmitter comes as a complete package with an exciter, power supply, power amplifier, interconnecting cables and all required rack mount hardware.
The 4075 linear amplifier is designed and engineered for modern communications which are heavily data orientated, requiring the equipment to work at high duty cycles for extended periods of time. The unique liquid cooled design increases cooling efficiency resulting in less system deterioration due to overheating in the power stages, extending overall equipment service life.
The compact rack mounted amplifier, together with its power supply occupies just 5U of cabinet space.
The Barrett 4075 amplifier natively supports the Barrett 4050 Transceiver/Exciter which when coupled requires no further tuning or adjustment. A flexible I/O interface and analogue ALC feedback provide the transceiver/exciter full control over final output power. Intelligent electronic controls protect the 4075 from input and output overload while providing a sophisticated early warning and a diagnostic interface for system monitoring and event logging.
The 4075 system is field re-programmable via USB allowing the end user to update system software.
The Barrett ISO9001 Quality Assurance Program ensures consistent performance and the highest reliability.

For further information on the ATU Interface box, please see the 4075 1kW ATU manual (BCM407508).

INSTALLATION

The new 4075 system is shipped with the Linear Amplifier removed from the rack. All other units are fitted and factory adjusted for optimum operation. All vacant slots are covered.

Requirements

Housing
The ideal housing for the 4075 system is a dedicated radio site in an air- condi-tioned, secure room connected to mains power. Ideally this room will have it’s own back-up power source such as solar panels, wind turbines and stand-by batteries.
To avoid water ingress and subsequent damage to the system, the racking system should be mounted atop a wooden plinth approximately 4in high. Any vents should not be situated directly near the system to limit condensation reaching the equipment.

Cable Management
The management of cables will ideally use cable trays to minimise the risk of damage and reduce maintenance.
Take care to note the bend radius of the cables. Over-bending a cable can result in shorting. Ideally, power and data cables should be kept separately and cables should not cross, except at 90o where absolutely necessary.

Rack

Ensure that the rack is positioned with enough space for the front and rear of the system to be accessed safely. Local fire safety guidelines should be adhered to.

Connection to Mains
Once the rack is located in its final position and secured to the floor, unwrap the internally fitted mains cable and feed it out of the cabinet either at the bottom or through the top cable access point and connect to a suitable mains source.
The 4075 high power transmitter systems are usually built into either the 20RU or 39RU racks. Each system includes an AC power distribution box BCA407520. Connection of mains power into this box is via a six metre long mains cable which is directly terminated into the AC power distribution box. The other end of this cable is left unterminated for hard wire connection to a customer’s mains supply through a suitable high current termination. This termination should be performed by a suitably qualified electrician. Barrett Communications recommend that a dedicated RCD is used in this circuit.
Please note that the peak current drawn by the 4075 system exceeds normal wall socket ratings and so connection through a wall socket is not safe and should be avoided.
According to Australian / New Zealand Standards, the mains cable conductor colour code is as follows:

Grounding

The ground (earth) system is a key part of the overall system and consequently of the system performance. An inadequate ground system is the primary cause of poor system performance, noise and lightning damage. When an ATU is fitted, the system ground will include a ground counterpoise which is essential for ATU tuning performance.

Base Station Grounding
The following major aspects should be considered when installing a land based station grounding system:
Rack and equipment ground with respect to the mains supply and personnel safety is paramount. The installation of all electrical equipment should be in accordance with local bylaws, and grounding is a requirement for effective earth leakage protection.

Grounding with respect to EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference):
Due to the high RF fields in the proximity of the transmitter rack, shielding
of all equipment and cables is important. Each Rack Mounted main item is connected to the rack vertical ground strip via flexible straps. The supplied system rack and cables have been adequately shielded. The ground point for external connection can be found at the rear bottom of the rack. The rack earth connection should be extended, as directly as possible, to a suitable ground, outside of the building, using preferably, a 50 mm copper earth strap. All signal cables should be shielded and grounded at each end.

Lightning Protection
Lightning protection also requires a good ground connection and should be similarly connected to the building ground. The lightning protection should ideally be located where the coaxial cables enter the building, and coupled to ground as directly as possible.

Linear Amplifier

Unless otherwise specified for special project requirements, all cabling with the exception of the coaxial RF output cable, are installed in the rack and so identification and connection is straightforward.
Both the 4075 Linear Amplifier and the 4075 Power Supply units have been factory adjusted for optimum performance.
CAUTION: Linear Amplifiers weigh between 30kg (500W configuration) and 35kg (1kW configuration). Two people are required to safely lift and install the Linear Amplifier.
The rack has two guide rails that will support the Linear Amplifier once installed. Each side of the Linear has a corresponding channel the slide over the guide rails.

1. Slide the Linear Amplifier into position and secure with the screws provided.
2. Connect cables as per the diagram on the following page.

Antenna

Please refer to the instruction guide supplied with the antenna type selected.
All antennas connect to the Linear Amplifier via the coaxial socket on the left of the rear panel. This is clearly labelled to avoid confusion.
Please note that a VSWR of < 2:1 is desirable for optimum performance of the Linear Amplifier.
We suggest that for high power transmitters, a type RG-213 or better cable is used for all coaxial feeds beyond the Linear Amplifier. For improved coaxial feeder performance over long runs, we suggest the use of a low-loss coaxial cable. Please contact Barrett Communications if further assistance with cable selection is required. The use of a lightning protection module is recom- mended.

Grounding
When an unbalanced antenna or an ATU is used, the antenna ground, or counterpoise is vitally important. Providing an adequate counterpoise at ground level is difficult, but it is far more difficult when the ATU is placed on a roof top. At ground level, the use of 8 to 12 radial wires of 16 gauge or larger, each of about 1/3 longer than the length of the antenna, buried to about 150 mm below the surface should be adequate (Radial earth mat / ground plane: Barrett P/N BCA20026). Connection to metal water pipes can also improve the ground. On a roof top, there is usually not enough space for an adequate counterpoise. An effective counterpoise may be achieved by covering the entire roof surface below the antenna with wire mesh which is then con-nected to the ground as directly as possible. It must be noted however, that the successful tuning of the ATU and the resulting VSWR performance of the antenna, will greatly depend on the effectiveness of the counterpoise pro-vided.

OPERATION

Switching On

1. Once connected to Mains power turn the circuit breakers (if fitted) on the rear of the AC power distribution unit (PDU) to the on position.

2. Turn the mains switch on the front of the PDU panel to the “on” position if using a type 1 or 2 PDU. Ensure the other front switches are set to the on position as required if using a type 2 PDU.
   If the 4022 Power Supply, 4050 HF SDR Transceiver and the 4075 Linear Ampli- fier do not also switch on, follow the steps below:

3. Flip the back and front switches on the 4022 Power Supply.

4. Press the On-Vol knob on the 4050 transceiver

5. Press the Pwr button on the Linear Amplifier.

4050 Antenna Selection
Before any operation is under-taken an antenna type needs to be selected from Settings < IO in the 4050.

1. Open the IO menu from Set-tings on the swipe screen.
2. Tap Antenna 1 Type from the IO screen to display the Antenna 1 Type screen.
3. Navigate to 4075 Linear and 4075 Linear with ATU options by either swiping down on the touch screen or pressing on the keypad.
4. Select the appropriate option.

If ‘4075 not detected’ appears on the transceiver display (see right) ensure that the following are not responsible before contacting Bar-rett Communications:

• All cable connections are correct and that none are loose or disconnected
• Check that the Linear is switched on

Linear Amplifier Settings
The 4075 Linear Amplifier is programmed and set up before it is shipped so no further actions are necessary.

Antenna Tuning Unit Status Display

This is only present if an Antenna Tuning Unit (ATU) is connected to the sys- tem.

No Tuner
If no ATU is connected to the system, the status menu will remain unchanged (see Receive Mode).

Unknown Tuner
If an active device is connected to the 4075 Linear Amplifier’s ATU interface but the Linear has not been configured for an ATU, the following screen will display:

In this state the Linear will not operate when the transceiver begins to trans-mit. It will signal a fault to the 4050 transceiver and it will keep the Linear in bypass mode in order to protect whatever is connected and it will display the error message.

Missing Tuner
If the Linear settings have been set for an ATU and there is either nothing con-nected to the ATU interface or the connected ATU controller is not powered on then the following screen is displayed:

As with the Unknown Tuner, if the 4050 transceiver attempts to activate the amplifier with a Missing Tuner, a fault is generated.

Scan Mode
When the 4050 Transceiver is scanning or a manual channel change occurs, the transceiver signals ‘scan mode’ to the amplifier and the following screen is displayed:

Tuning Mode
When the 4050 Transceiver requests a tune cycle, the amplifier displays the following while the tune process is under way. Please note that a tune cycle can take up to two (2) minutes to complete.

Tuned Mode
If the tune cycle is successful, the amplifier displays the following.

Untuned Mode
From the ‘untuned mode’, the amplifier can change to either ‘scan mode’ or ‘tuning mode’ in response to the operation of the radio. It will move to ‘scan mode’ if the 4050 changes channel or ‘tuning mode’ if the operator or con- trolling system issues a ‘manual tune’ command. As with the ‘Unknown Tuner’ and ‘Missing Tuner’ modes, if the 4050 Trans-ceiver attempts to operate the amplifier when ‘Untuned’, the amplifier signals a fault to the 4050, displays the following screen and engages the bypass mode so that the RF output of the 4050 is not amplified in order to protect the attached tuner.

Error Condition
This error condition remains until the transceiver stops activating the amplifi-er’s PTT line, and then clears automatically when the PTT is released.

Warranty Statement

Barrett Communications (hereafter referred to as ‘Seller’) provides a three
(3) year warranty on all Barrett products from the date of shipment from the Seller. A one (1) year warranty from the date of shipment from the Seller is provided for all batteries.
Each warranty guarantees acceptable performance of the product under normal recommended conditions for the duration of the warranty period. In cases of accident, abuse, incorrect installation or maintenance by a non-Seller representative, subjection to abnormal environmental conditions, negligence or use other than those in accordance with instructions issued by the Seller, the warranty shall be voided. In addition, this warranty shall not cover low performance – specifically the distance or quality of transmission and recep- tion – due to unfavourable environmental or locational conditions. Nor shall this warranty cover the quality of transmission and reception of transceivers mounted in vehicles or vessels that have not been sufficiently electrically sup-pressed.
Should any fault due to bad design, workmanship or materials be proven
at any time within the warranty period, the Seller will rectify such fault free of charge provided that the equipment is returned, freight paid, to Barrett Communications Pty Ltd head office or to an authorised service centre. The repaired or replaced product will remain covered under and throughout the term of the original warranty period up to its expiration. No repair or replace-ment will extend the warranty term past the original thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the original date of shipment from the Seller.
Firmware and software (pre-installed, stand-alone or provided as an update), hereafter referred to as ‘Software’, is guaranteed to perform acceptably within the specifications provided by the Seller, provided that the Software is within the warranty period.
Should Software not perform acceptably, the Seller will use all commercially reasonable efforts to correct such nonconformity as reported to the Seller directly or via a support representative. The Seller is not obliged to update Software under warranty if the nonconformity is caused by a) the use or operation of the Software in an environment other than intended or recom- mended by the Seller in relevant documentation, or b) modifications made to the Software not authorised or undertaken by the Seller or a representative of said Seller.
Subject to the matters set out in this warranty, no liability, expressed or implied is accepted for any consequential loss, damage or injury arising as a result of a fault in the equipment and, all expressed or implied warranties as to quality or fitness for any purpose are hereby excluded.
This warranty does not extend to products supplied by the Seller which are not designed or manufactured by it. The Seller will however make every endeavour to ensure that the purchaser receives full benefit on any warranty given by the original equipment manufacturer.
This warranty is restricted to the original purchaser except where the original purchaser is a reseller authorised by the Seller who has purchased for the pur-pose of resale, warranty shall be extended to the reseller’s customer.
