DMB 670 Benefits Maximum Efficiency: The DMB 670 is the most efficient Band III transmitter available today about twice as efficient as other products on the market. Estimated annual savings of up to $10,000 on a 2 kw system, based on $0.15/kWh. Reduces the total cost of ownership $100,000 over the first 10 years of operation. Compact Footprint: The most compact DAB/DMB transmitter on the market 78 percent size reduction at 2 kw. Ideally suited to fit in crowded, shared transmitter sites, the DMB 670 reduces the space required in the facility, simplifies installation, lowers shipping costs and allows for easier maintenance. Lightweight Design: The DMB 670 is not only smaller, but it's also lighter. This reduces shipping and material handling costs for a lower total cost of ownership. High Power Elegant Simplicity: The DMB 670 achieves marketleading power levels (up to 10 kw) without the need for complex liquid cooling systems. Coupled with a reliable distributed control architecture, the DMB 670 provides for outstanding reliability, soft failure operation and simple serviceability. Improved Up Time: Hot-pluggable redundant power amplifier (PA) and universal power supply (PS) modules make on-air servicing a breeze and eliminate costly service interruptions. Reduced Service Costs: Lightweight and universal power amplifier modules (broadband from 168 to 242 MHz - 4.5 kg) and power supply modules (auto-ranging 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz - 2.5 kg) facilitate overnight/same-day shipment from centralized depot for simplified and cost-effective spares holding. The use of lightweight modules virtually eliminates any two-person lift requirements for routine maintenance and troubleshooting, resulting in considerable savings. Smooth Upgradeability: The DMB 670 features the world-class DAB 665 exciter and control platform, allowing existing users to upgrade seamlessly to the new platform. This virtually eliminates switching costs such as training, sparing and programming of network control and monitoring. Field Serviceable: The system reduces maintenance costs by supporting simple replacement of pre-tuned amplifier pallet, eliminating the need for complex tuning after FET replacement. Common Parts: The complete DMB 670 line utilizes the same major parts from the highest power, air-cooled transmitter to the compact, low-power systems. This consolidation of parts makes sparing simple and straightforward.

Global Monitor and Control The DMB 670 transmitter series uses a central control system housed in the DAB 665 low-power stage (exciter/drive unit). The main controller communicates with the modules of the low-power stage through an internal I2C-bus and to one or more external high-power amplifier bays (PA modules) via an RS-485 connection. A liquid crystal control screen allows easy review of all operational parameters and easy diagnosis of any equipment problems. In addition to local control, options allow the DMB 670 transmitter to be controlled from anywhere in the world via RS- 232 or TCP/IP via a telecom or network connection with password protection. Menu structure The control menu of the DAB 670 transmitter series user interface contains the following functional blocks: Home: New addition that features key transmitter readings, FWD and REV power and system faults Signal: Enables adjustment of all parameters for signal processing (input feed, preprocessing ETI and FFT unit, precorrection, reference frequency) History: Maintains a list of errors and operation mode changes and allows storage of history data Preference: Stores the present equipment configuration files or downloads a predefined equipment configuration Amplifier: Adjustment of the operating mode, querying operating parameters of the highpower amplifier bays Installation: Configuration of installation settings like power class, backup signal selection Miscellaneous: Includes measuring units, CPU data, power supply parameters, operating temperatures Log File: Contains the network log-in/log-out log Help: Help with navigation and problem solving Remote Communication The following additional remote interfaces are optionally available: The graphical user interface (GUI) permits entry of all operation parameters. Simple reports and important measured values can be queried and transmitter operation problems are clearly displayed. Ethernet network connection RJ45 (10/100BaseT) with TCP/IP protocol RS232 for modem/pc connection with TCP/IP protocol (low-power stage front panel and rear panel) Remote alarms are generated automatically in the event of a fault and sent via GSM (SMS format) or modem (ASCII format). If a network connection is present, the alarms can be sent by SNMP or e-mail. Contacts of the parallel interface can be arbitrarily assigned for special needs RS232 as mod-bus (ASCII protocol), or bit-bus-iec864-2 are available on request To support greater redundancy, the TCM 8600 Terrestrial Central Monitoring unit supports a range of back-up options. In dual-drive systems, the TCM 8600 monitors the low-power unit and switches control and RF feeds. In 1+1 and full N+1 installations, the TCM 8600 monitors each transmitter level system and controls RF switching. 1+1 Configuration Dual Drive Configuration

DMB 670 Configuration Each DMB 670 transmitter combines a low-power unit and one or more amplifier bays, each with various configurations of PA modules to achieve the rated power. The amplifier bays contain several major systems: Power Amplifier (PA) The hot-pluggable module features a pair of broadband (168-242 MHz) RF power amplifiers that require no user adjustments. Each amplifier can be easily replaced with a pre-tuned pallet, eliminating the need for optimization in the field. The PA modules are identical and fully interchangeable among all power classes in the DMB 670 transmitter family, regardless of configuration. Power Supply (PS) The hot-pluggable module is a 1200 W, 48 V power supply with a.98 power factor and mains input range of 90-264 V. The PS interface provides on/off functionality to the power supplies, a fan tachometer alarm and redundant feed to the cooling system. Each module also has +5 V output to redundantly drive the low-voltage control circuits. Cooling System The air-cooling system includes internal redundant blowers that pull cool air from the front through a removable filter, as well as exhausts in the rear. Systems integrated in Harris cabinets feature top exhaust to support ducting and can optionally have ducted air input plenum to permit top, bottom or rear air input. Typical system block diagram Control System The main system control is located in the low-power unit and DMB 670-2000 shown communicates with each amplifier bay, each of which has independent protection and control capabilities. Each PA module has dedicated control and monitoring to support on/off functionality and alarms for reflected power, temperature and current overloads. Output Filter Optionally used to ensure mask compliance. These filters are compact, temperature-stable and provide low insertion loss. The noncritical spectrum mask filter has a six-circuit bandpass, while the critical mask filter requires the addition of two traps.
