NOTE TO USER

Overview

The MTX5000 Transmitter System (MTX5000) is a state-of-the-

art transmitter system. The MTX5000 Indoor Unit (IDU) contains

a central processor used to control all functions and operations

of the system. To avoid potential software hang-ups or software

corruption, please read and follow the guidelines contained in

the following paragraphs.

Avoid Potential Operational

Problems

Information contained in the following paragraphs identify

potential problems that can be avoided by reading and following

the operating procedures provided in this manual.

To avoid potential operational problems, please review the

information contained in the “Routine Operation” Chapter on

page 3-1. The Routine Operation Chapter contains step-by-step

procedures that, when performed correctly, will eliminate

potential problems that could be caused by operator error or by

lack of experience with the MTX5000 system.

Radio Unable to Transmit or Generally Unstable

• If the radio is unable to transmit or is generally unstable,

perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24 to select or re-

select the proper Preset. Then verify proper transmitter

operation by transmitting and receiving.

• If the radio remains unstable, it may be necessary to cycle

power off and on. See ”Powering the MTX5000 System”

on page 3-7 to power down and power up the MTX5000.

Always wait a minimum of 10 seconds between

powering the radio down and then powering the radio

up again.

• After cycling power to off and back to on, perform “Select

Preset” on page 3-24 to select the proper Preset. Then

verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and

receiving.

• If the radio is still unable to transmit or remains unstable,

contact MRC Technical Support for assistance.

Improper Power Up/Power Down

If the radio is unable to transmit, is unstable, or if the software

appears to be corrupted, the Preset may have been selected or

changed too soon after power was applied or the wrong Preset

was selected.

• Always wait a minimum of 5 seconds after the Main

screen is displayed following power up before selecting a

Preset.

• If the wrong Preset is selected, you must wait a minimum

of 5 seconds before attempting to select another Preset.

Failure to wait 5 seconds minimum between Preset

selections will cause software hang-ups.

If the radio is unable to transmit, is unstable, or if the software

appears to be corrupted, power to the radio may have been

removed and reapplied too quickly.

The MTX5000 central processor requires a minimum of 10

seconds to properly shutdown to avoid possible software

corruption.

NOTE TO USER iiMTX5000 User and Technical Manual

• Software corruption can occur if the external input power

to the radio was momentarily lost and was then reapplied

without waiting a minimum of 10 seconds between loss of

power and reapplication of input power.

• The problem may also occur if the power switch was

pressed to off and back to on without waiting a minimum

of 10 seconds.

• To avoid problems, always wait a minimum of 10

seconds between removal or loss of power and

reapplication of power to the radio.

• The problem may also occur if the progress bar was

displayed when power was removed from the radio.

Always ensure the progress bar is not displayed on

the color LCD display panel when power is removed

from the radio.

If this problem has occurred, press the power switch to off, wait

10 seconds minimum, and press the power switch to on. The

internal processor will attempt to perform a self-recovery of the

software.

• During the software recovery attempt, a progress bar will

be displayed on the color LCD display panel indicating the

progress of the process. This progress bar will take more

time to reach 100% than during a normal power up.

•Do not become impatient during the software

recovery process due to the time it may take for

recovery. Do not remove and reapply power while the

progress bar is displayed during the software self-

recovery process. Software corruption will occur!

• When the power up is complete and the Main screen is

displayed on the color LCD display panel, verify proper

transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving.

• If the software is corrupted and the Main screen is not

displayed, contact MRC Technical Support for assistance.

Radio State Incorrect

If the radio state is incorrect, the correct Preset may not have

been selected. Select the proper Preset per “Select Preset” on

page 3-24.

PA Voltage Adjust Setup Software Hang-up

When performing “Perform PA Voltage Adjust Setup” on page 3-

44, ensure the Outdoor Unit (ODU) is properly connected to the

IDU. If the ODU is not connected to the IDU and you attempt to

perform this procedure, the software will hang up.

•To avoid software hang-up, always ensure the ODU is

connected to the IDU when performing the PA Voltage

Adjust Setup procedure.

• Check the Main screen ODU status indicator. If a major

fault exists in the ODU, do not perform the PA Voltage

Adjust Setup procedure until the fault has been corrected

or until the ODU is connected to the IDU.

• If the ODU is not connected to the IDU or if the ODU has

suffered a failure, the PA Voltage Adjust Setup Screen will

remain displayed on the color LCD display panel if the PA

Voltage Adjust Setup screen Start option button is

selected.

If the software hangs up due to the ODU not being connected to

the IDU or if the ODU has failed, perform the following:

• Press the power switch to off.

• Connect the ODU to the IDU or go to “Troubleshooting”

on page 4-1 to correct the fault.

NOTE TO USER iiiMTX5000 User and Technical Manual

• Press the power switch to on, perform “Select Preset” on

page 3-24 to select the proper Preset.

•“Perform PA Voltage Adjust Setup” on page 3-44 and then

verify proper transmitter operation by transmitting and

receiving.

RF Levels Too High

If the transmitted RF levels are too high, “Perform RF Level

Adjust” on page 3-49.

Software Recovery

If the software becomes corrupted, the MTX5000 IDU will

attempt to self-recover the software. During the software self-

recovery, the previously configured parameters may be

recovered - not the latest parameters. This may happen if a fault

occurs when installing software updates.

If the software becomes corrupted, press the power switch to off,

wait 10 seconds minimum, and press the power switch to on.

The internal processor will attempt to perform a self-recovery of

the software.

• During the software recovery attempt, a progress bar will

be displayed on the color LCD display panel indicating the

progress of the recovery process. This progress bar may

take considerably more time to reach 100% than during a

normal power up.

• Do not become impatient during the software

recovery process due to the time it may take for

recovery. Do not remove and reapply power while the

progress bar is displayed during the software

recovery process. Software corruption will occur!

• When the power up is complete and the Main screen is

displayed on the color LCD display panel, you may need

to perform “Select Preset” on page 3-24. Then verify

proper transmitter operation by transmitting and receiving.

If the software is no longer corrupted, perform “Firmware

Update” on page 5-114 to verify that you have the latest software

installed in your MTX5000 IDU. Update the software, as

required.

If the software is corrupted or if the Main screen is not displayed,

contact MRC Technical Support for assistance.

Color Bar Generator Operations

All MTX5000 Indoor Units (IDU) contain a built-in digital Color

Bar Generator (CBG) as standard equipment. The IDU is also

available with an optional analog CBG. Potential operator

problems can occur when using the optional analog CBG or the

built-in digital CBG.

Potential operator-induced problems may include the following:

• Selection of the CBG On operating mode during test,

troubleshooting, or CBG setup and failure to select the

Off, A Gen, or A Stby operating mode for normal

operation when test, troubleshooting, or CBG setup is

completed.

• Selection of the CBG On, A Gen, or A Stby operating

mode when the optional Analog Color Bar Generator is

not installed in the MTX5000 IDU.

To avoid potential operator problems that can impact operation

of the MTX5000 System, the following information is provided:

• The optional analog CBG and the digital CBG both

include Off, On, A Gen (Auto Generated), or A Stby

(Auto Standby) operating mode options.

• The CBG mode should only be set to the On operating

mode for test, troubleshooting, or for setup of the

NOTE TO USER ivMTX5000 User and Technical Manual

applicable Color Bar Generator.

• During normal operation, the CBG Off, A Gen, or A Stby

operating mode must be selected for proper operation

and video transmission.

• CBG operating modes are not Preset-specific or mode-

specific. If your IDU contains the optional analog CBG

and you select the Off, A Gen, or A Stby operating mode

for an analog Preset, the selected option is applicable for

all analog Presets, as well as for all digital Presets.

• If the CBG On operating mode is selected, the output of

the MTX5000 IDU will be color bars only, not video,

regardless if an analog or a digital Preset is selected.

When color bars are set to On (enabled), color bars take

priority over all analog and digital Preset settings.

• If the IDU output consists of color bars only, please verify

that the analog and/or digital CBG operation mode is not

set to On before you call customer service. The problem

may be nothing more than having selected the On

operating mode.

Perform “Select Color Bar Generator Mode” on page 3-52

to select the Off, A Gen, or A Stby operating mode.

• It is possible to select analog CBG options if you do not

have the optional CBG installed in your MTX5000 IDU,

but the options are not active and will result in

transmission problems.

•Be careful when setting CBG options if you do not

have the optional analog CBG installed.

• If you attempt to set the CBG operating mode to On, A

Gen, or A Stby and you do not have the optional analog

CBG installed in your MTX5000 IDU, you will have a blank

screen displayed for analog Presets. Before calling

Customer Service, please verify that the analog CBG

operating mode has not been set to On.

Go to “Select Color Bar Generator Mode” on page 3-52

and select the Off, A Gen, or A Stby operation mode.

• When utilizing a digital Preset with an ASI video input and

the digital CBG option setting is A Gen or A Stby, loss of

the ASI video input will not display color bars or will not

change the MTX5000 IDU operation to standby indicating

loss of the ASI signal. This is normal operation for ASI

video loss.

Using the Color LCD Display Panel Touch Screen

CAUTION Avoid damage to the color LCD display

panel!

The color LCD display panel touch screen

may be damaged if a sharp, hard-pointed

object, such as a pencil or a pen, is used to

select the displayed options.

Touch screen options must only be selected

using your fingers, a soft-pointed stylus, or

the front panel function keys.

Damage to the color LCD display panel

caused by using a hard-pointed object or

other misuse may void your warranty on

the MTX5000 IDU.

Whenever you use the MTX5000 IDU color LCD display panel

NOTE TO USER vMTX5000 User and Technical Manual

touch screen to select options, use care to avoid damage.

Sharp-pointed objects or excessive force can render the color

LCD display Panel touch screen inoperable.

Use your fingers, a soft-pointed stylus, or the front panel function

keys to select the displayed options. A cotton swab works very

well as a soft-pointed stylus.

using a Microsoft Windows-based PC that meets the following

requirements:

• Microsoft Windows XP Operating System with SP2

• 1.2 GHz processor

• 500 MB of system memory

• 1.0 Gb of free hard disk space

• Super VGA 800 x 600 pixels

• Internet Explorer 7.0 or later

Remote location operations must be performed using

Internet Explorer 7.0 or later.

Note When operating in the remote mode, if the web

page on the PC display should become blank when

switching between option tabs, select the web

browser refresh option. The correct screen will

then be displayed

Ethernet Connections

If you are connected to the Ethernet via the IDU rear panel

ETHERNET RJ45 connector and you find that the color LCD

display panel appears to be operating very slowly or has locked

up completely, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the

ETHERNET connector.

This should free up the color LCD display Panel and the IDU

should resume operating properly.
