SYSTEM DESCRIPTION NDB Transmitter JTM-30C
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 OVERALL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The JACOTRON Marine JTM-30C is a Non-Directional Radio Beacon (NDB) Transmitter
designed for use onboard oilrigs and ships, as well as for other applications at sea or land.
The JTM-30C is available with RF Power output versions (100W PEP , and 250W PEP *):
 Single NDB Transmitter configuration with one complete transmit chain
 DUAL (or Redundant) NDB Transmitter. This configuration has two complete
transmit chains with fault detection/reporting and automatic changeover.
If purchased a Single version first it is very easy to upgrade to a Dual version by adding one
extra Exciter and one extra RF Power Amplifier. This upgrade can be carried out on site by
personnel on the ship/rig and on land installation.
The equipment is a totally new, but well tested concept now used for NDB transmitters
utilizing a digital Exciter (DDS).
The transmitters have the following main features:
 Operates on frequency from 190 kHz to 2000 kHz (2 MHz) , in steps of 1 Hz.
 Frequency generation by Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) featuring high linearity and
stability of carrier and modulation, low noise and excellent frequency accuracy
 The output power is 100W/250W *, Peak Envelope Power (PEP), from the RF
Power Amplifier
 The Exciter provides full power control of the carrier.
 The transmitters operate with N0N/A2A, N0N/A1A or N0N/A3E emission.
MSK modulation is available as Option.
 A Timer function enables four different operational modus
- Continuous modulation / Morse keying with automatic keying sequence repetition.
- Transmit one Morse keying sequence only.
- Transmit repeated Morse keying sequences during a specified interval.
- Transmit the Morse keying sequence once for every specified interval.
 The Exciter enables four different Morse sequence (Ship ID)
- a sequence with : “VVV VVV VVV QTG DE TEST TEST TEST --- ---“
- a sequence with only ship Id. E.g. “TEST “
- two additional Morse sequence is available for individual programming
 The equipment is equipped with functions for monitoring of carrier, modulation and
failure conditions.
 Remote Control and monitoring
 Flexible control (ON/OFF) and monitoring of basic parameters from Remote Control
Unit(s)
 Remote Control and Monitoring of all Transmitter parameters from a local PC via
RS485, or communication between Transmitter and PC over Internet is possible via
the RS-485/LAN Interface unit. Communication over Internet can be with or without
encryption.
 The PC SW includes (as standard) both “Single Site” and “Multi Site” operation
capability
Page 2(7)
 In “Multi Site” modus it is possible to monitor & control up to ninety (90) world-
wide remote located NDB Transmitter from one (1) PC over Internet
Through the RS-485/USB or RS-485/LAN remote control interface, the following
parameters may be read and/or programmed:
 Carrier frequency
 RF power
 Modulation type - Morse, Audio or GPS (option)
 Modulation depth
 Morse tone frequency
 Morse keying rate
 Four different Morse messages can be typed in as plain text.
The JTM-30C has a built-in non-volatile memory sufficient for storage of the entire
transmitter configuration, and enabling stand-alone un-attended operation. Saving the
configuration in solid-state memory is controlled via the PC interface.
The PC SW provides an event log that records all system events, such as restart, parameter
changes and error events.
In addition to the PC interface, the JTM-30C also offers Remote Control Units that can be
attached via a separate galvanic isolated port to provide simple operation of the transmitter
from a remote location(s). The Remote Control Units may be daisy chained to more than
one location.
As standard the JTM-30C transmitter (Single or DUAL) consists of one self-contained unit
including Antenna Matching and Antenna Tuning mounted inside an IP66 weatherproof and
ruggedized cabinet. The cabinet operates from 24V DC.
As option we may supply an AC Mains to 24V DC Power Supply installed inside the same
Transmitter Cabinet. The Power Supply also provides an interface for battery backup input.
During an AC Mains failure, the transmitter will automatically be powered from an external
24V battery (if connected).
This makes the installation low cost relative to equipment having separate Antenna Tuner
and Transmitter where cables a required to be installed between these two units.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 SELECTING ANTENNAS FOR NDB TRANSMITTERS

NDB Antennas are similar to normal LF/MF antennas. As the frequency is in the order
of a few hundred kHz, the practical length of an NDB antenna onboard a ship or rig is much shorter
than a 1/4 wave-length. (Wavelength at 0,5MHz = 600m)
For that reason NDB antennas always are the equivalent of a capacitor in series with a small resistor.
Typical values of MF Antennas are from 100 pF to 300 pF capacitor, in series with a 1 to 10 ohm
resistor.
An NDB antenna (wire antenna or whip + interconnecting wire ) with a length approx. 20m has
been found to give good results in most cases.
At NDB frequencies below 350 kHz, a whip Antenna may not have sufficient capacitance to obtain
optimal tuning. For such installations it is recommended to install a very long Long-wire or a longer
wire between the Whip Antenna and the insulator on the NDB Transmitter.
The JTM-30C is, however, provided with a high voltage capacitor of 200 pF which can be connected
in parallel with the antenna at low frequency operation (e.g. below 350 kHz) enabling correct tuning
even at frequencies down to 190 kHz, and at high frequencies (e.g. above 800 kHz) the same 200 pF
capacitor can be connected in series with the Antenna Tuning Coil.
Below is a table showing the capacitance value relative to frequencies for two alternatives of whip
Antennas from COMROD, Norway widely used for NDB Transmitters.
Values listed below are nominal.
Frequency AS1R AT80B JTM-MFA-1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
150 kHz No data available 79 pF -
300 kHz 127 pF 83 pF -
350 kHz 128 pF 85 pF -
400 kHz 130 pF 88 pF -
450 kHz 120 pF 92 pF -
500 kHz 134 pF 97 pF -
600 kHz 138 pF No data available -
700 kHz 145 pF No data available -
• The dominant radiation at NDB frequencies is ground wave, and the vertically polarization
provides the best coverage
• Hence it is recommended to use an antenna which has a vertically wire/mast element to obtain the
best coverage
• As NDB antennas always are capacitive with a high reactive component, it is recommended to use
an additional horizontal element to increase the capacitance of the antenna and hence reduce the
high reactive voltage at the antenna.

2.2 INSTALLATION
Installation of JTM-30C NDB transmitter is very simple. The IP66 weatherproof and ruggedized
Transmitter Cabinet contains Antenna Tuner and all Transmitter functional blocks.
The transmitter itself operates from nominal 24V DC source of energy.
Transmitter Type JTM-30C may be delivered as Single or Dual version inside same size cabinet.
All external connections to the cabinet are the same. The only difference is that the weight of
the Dual version is approx. 0,6 kg higher (with one extra Exciter and one extra RF Power Amplifier).
If first purchased a Single version it is very easy to add the two extra modules (Exciter and RF Power
Amplifier) at a later stage. All delivered JTM-30C are prepared with HW and SW for such easy
upgrade, which can be carried out by engineers on site.
Transmitter tuning to match the antenna impedance is a manual procedure.

Auto Tune capability is offered as an option.
As option we deliver a solution where also the Power Supply (AC Mains to 24VDC) is
installed inside the Transmitter Cabinet. This makes installation of JTM-30C less costly than
for others having separate Antenna Tuner and separate Transmitter where installation of
cables between these units are required.
NDB Transmitter Type JTM-30C is really an “all-in-one” unit.
The Power Supply arrangement installed inside Transmitter cabinet includes AC Power
Supply Type HSW300-24 (85-265VAV to 27VDC) and Diode arrangements for
connection to external 24 V Battery backup to provide a non-interruptible power source
for the NDB. During an AC Mains failure, the transmitter will automatically be powered
from an external 24V source of energy.
The JTM-30C shall be mounted at or near the antenna location. Good and solid electrical
ground must be available at the mounting site. The ground terminals of the transmitter must
be connected to site ground (ship deck) through low impedance and short length of copper
wires.
A heater element installed inside the cabinet will reduce the cabinet humidity at low
temperatures. This heater element is powered from the 24V DC transmitter supply and will
automatically be activated at temperatures below +4oC.
The Transmitter is provided with screws terminals for connection to external Remote Unit(s).
As option a RS-485/ LAN Interface unit may be installed inside Transmitter Cabinet.
A complete NDB Transmitter Type JTM-30C installation comprises following elements:

1. Long Wire and/or NDB Whip antenna, suitable for the actual NDB frequency
2. JTM-30C Transmitter cabinet (Single or Dual), comprising :
- Exciter(s) with frequency and modulation generating circuitry
- Morse ID Keyer and Timer circuit for interval transmission
- RF Power Amplifier(s)
- Monitoring circuits
- Manual Antenna Tuning, and matching transformer circuits (Auto tune option)
- Power Control Unit for interface to all above equipment
- Input/output connections for controls and monitoring of the equipment
- Cabinet with IP66 protection for above equipment
- Power Supply converting AC Mains into 24 VDV for supply of energy to the transmitter
Page 3(21)
Remote controls
- Remote Control JTM-30R for ON/OFF and monitoring of the operation via wires
- RS-485/USB interface module and PC SW for full control & monitoring of the equipment
from/to local PC
- RS-485/LAN Interface module and SW for full control and monitoring of the equipment
from PC via Internet (option)
2.2.1 Installation and connection of Antenna and Ground connections

Antenna
See above section “SELECTING ANTENNAS FOR NDB TRANSMITTERS” regarding
selection of Antenna for the selected frequency.
To obtain maximum radiation coverage please note that it is the vertical element of the antenna
which gives the dominant radiation. On the other hand, the horizontal elements of the antenna
will increase the capacitance, making the antenna less reactive and thus easier to tune.
A Wire Antenna with total length of approx. 20 m with a 14m vertical element has shown
to be suitable for frequencies from 350 to 2000 kHz.
A Whip Antenna provided with an extra 4 to 6 m wire has also been found to give suitable
performance at frequencies between 350 and 2000 kHz.
Make sure that the Antenna and/or wire are separated at least 200 mm (under all
environmental conditions) distance from the deck or other parts of the ship/rig structure.
The Antenna (Whip and/or Wires construction) shall be installed in a mechanically stable
position to avoid variation in capacitance under worst case environmental conditions.
The antenna shall be connected to the Insulator at the top of the JTM-30C Transmitter
Cabinet. The Antenna must be isolated from ship bulkhead by Insulators suitable for NDB
frequencies.
In order to facilitate maintenance of the antenna and the Insulators, the complete antenna
should be installed in an area suitable for easy inspection and maintenance.
As soon as the Antenna and/or Insulators are exposed to salt and moisture, the equipment
will not work properly and require cleaning.
Ground
Solid and stable ground connection shall be connected to the Ground terminal located at the
bottom of the JTM-30C Transmitter Cabinet. The Ground wire shall be as short as possible
and be directly connected to the ship/rig deck structure. The Ground wire shall have
minimum size 6 sq.mm.
2.2.2 Installation of JTM-30C Transmitter Cabinet

The IP66 protected cabinet shall be located and installed at, or near, the NDB Antenna in
an area not exposed with salt water spray.
Mount the cabinet with the top of insulator approx. 2 m up from deck.
The cabinet is provided with a lifting ring to make it easy to lift the Transmitter Cabinet on
place during installation. This lifting ring may also be used as a stable bracket for the
Antenna wire arrangement.
The cabinet shall be fixed with four (4) solid 10mm bolts to a mechanically solid frame or
mounting post, with the door of the cabinet facing out to deck for easy access when
opening the cabinet door.
NDB transmitters shall be installed in safe area. (NOT in gas contaminated area).

3. COMMISSIONING
Commissioning cannot take place before allocation for operating

frequency, call (Morse) ID and sequence, and transmission sequence for
the installation are clarified.
3.1 EQUIPMENT FOR COMMISSIONING UNDER FCC & IC REGULATIONS

NOTE !
Please note that the NDB transmitters under FCC (USA) regulations ONLY shall for
commissioning for frequencies between 190kHz and up to 535 kHz.
Please note that the NDB transmitters under IC (Canada) regulations ONLY shall for
commissioning for frequencies between 200kHz and up to 535 kHz.
3.2 PRE-CHECK OF THE EQUIPMENT

Check that all equipment (Antenna, Ground, Transmitter Cabinet JTM-30C, Power Supply
and optional equipment) are installed as described in document “2. JTM-30C Installation”.
A. Open the door of Transmitter Cabinet JTM-30C and Switch ON the Power Supply switch
for AC Mains and/or 24V DC Battery switch, if provided with Power Supply
arrangement installed the Transmitter Cabinet.
B. Switch ON the DC supply to the equipment with the Main Switch/Fuse (F1) located on
the Transmitter Base plate and notice that following LEDs are lit on the Power Control
Unit Board (PCU) input controls :
 Yellow LED “Pol. OK” = indicating correct polarity of DC input
 Green LED “Volt. OK” = indicating Correct voltage (DC input voltage is
between 20 and 31,0VDC)
If the Yellow LED is not lit, it indicates wrong polarity or no 24V DC supply into
the Transmitter Cabinet
If the Red LED “Overvoltage” is lit it indicates that the DC supply voltage is too
high). DC input voltage higher than approx. 31,5V will cause “DC VOLTAGE
TOO HIGH” indication.
If the Red LED is lit, the equipment becomes inoperative
C. If the equipment is configured with an operating frequency, Callsign (ID), correct timing
sequences etc. prior to shipment it will be indicated in the shipping documents.
If so, new configuration of the equipment from a PC is not needed prior to Commissioning.
D. If not, connect a PC with RS-485/USB Cable to the (D-SUB) contact on the Power Control Unit
(PCU) inside the Transmitter Cabinet, or to the (D-SUB) contact on the Remote Control Unit
JTM-30R and configure the Transmitter parameters as described in “4. JTM-30C NDB
Configuration Manual”.
Page 2(17)
3.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
If the equipment is NOT configured, following configuration and setting shall be carried out:
 Operating frequency setting
 Modulation rate and Audio frequency (95% modulation with 400 Hz is default)
 Morse call signal sequence
 Mode of operation (continuous – one sequence only etc.)
For equipment configuration see instructions in “4. JTM-30C NDB Configuration Manual”.
3.4 TEST
Prior to start Tuning the equipment to match to the NDB Antenna a simple check can be carried out
to check that the Exciter(s), Power Amplifier(s) and the Power Control Unit (PCU) are working
properly and supply correct RF Power Output.
When pressing the TEST buttons down for MINIMUM 6 seconds it adjust the RF Power Output to
selected RF Power Output value from selected Transmitter (A or B) to an internal 50 ohms dummy
load located under the PCU Board in the Transmitter Cabinet
NOTE !
Activation of TEST switches on the PCU inside the Transmitter, or activation “AUTO
LEVEL” on the PC, shall only be performed if replacing to a new Exciter or to new RF Power
Amplifier.
1. Set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU board, to middle position (“I total DC current”)
2. Push and hold down MINIMUM 6 seconds SW3 (“TEST B”) on the PCU (activating
Transmit chain “B”) and check that the DC current on the instrument indicates approx.
65 (6,5Ampere). At the same time check that LEDs marked “B” and “CARRIER” are lit. If
Single Transmitter, only Transmit chain “B” is in operation.
a. Same test can be carried out from PC by activating “AUTO LEVEL” for Transmitter “B”
3. If Dual Transmitter push and hold down MINIMUM 6 seconds SW2 (“TEST A”) on the PCU
(activating Transmitter “A”) and check that the DC current indicate approx. 65 (6,5Ampere) and that
LED’s marked “A” and “CARRIER” are lit.
a. If Dual Transmitter version, Transmitter “A” is the Main Transmitter and Transmitter “B”
is the Reserve Transmitter.
b. Same test can be carried out from PC by activating “AUTO LEVEL” for Transmitter “A”
4. Set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU, to upper position (“RF Output”) and notice the meter
indicates approx. 60 when activating switches for “Test A” or “Test B” respectively.
a. The meter will indicate RF output (Carrier only) from the Transmitter(s) to internal Dummy
load.
5. Set the Instrument switch SW1, on the PCU, to down position (“VSWR”) and notice the meter
indicates less than approx. 10 when activating switches SW2 “TEST A” and SW3 “TEST B”
respectively.
a. It indicates low reflected RF Power as the RF output from the RF Amplifiers now are
connected to the internal 50 ohms Dummy load (located under the PCU Board.)
6. Set the Instrument switch SW1, on the PCU, to middle position again (“I total DC current”) and
push and hold down switch SW4 (“IDLE”) and notice that you can hear a click (Relay activated).
a. The deflection on the instrument should now indicate approx. 15 (1,5 Ampere) (xx)
indicating correct Idle current operation of the Power Amplifier (without RF input/output).
(xx) For the older version of RF Power Amplifier (Model 3097) the Idle current shows approx. 3,5A.
b. When releasing the (“IDLE”) switch the Transmitter switches OFF.
Page 3(17)
3.5 TUNING (to be carried out inside the NDB Cabinet)

Tuning of the transmitter to match the RF output to the NDB Antenna is a
very important operation.
Strapping of the Antenna Tuning Coil (ATU Coil), insertion of a 200 pF capacitor, and
position of the Goniometer (tuning handle on the Antenna Tuning Coil) depends highly on
operating frequency and type of Antenna.
Below figures is estimated position (start positions) of strapping on the ATU Coil and estimated
use of the additional 200 pF Capacitor mounted on top (left) of the Antenna Tuning Coil.
JTM-30C is primary delivered for MANUAL Tuning. AUTO TUNE is Option.

For both alternatives pre-selection of strapping on the Antenna Tuning Coil and use of
200pF Capacitor must be carried out prior to fine tuning manually or automatically.
3.5.1 Proposed start position for strapping and connection on Antenna Tuning Coil
Prior to starting Tuning and adjusting Impedance marching, remove the Shield Cover in
front of the Antenna Tuning Coil to get easy access to Antenna Tuning strapping.
After finishing Tuning reinstall the Shield Cover again and perform a final fine tuning
of the Antennas Tuning Coil and a final Impedance matching with the Cover Shield on.
Below figure of the Antenna Tuning Coil and proposed strapping combination shows
connections and strapping possibilities on the Coil.
The ATU Coil itself has total 10 connections. Connection “10” is the “high end” of the
coil for direct output, or via 200 pF, to the Antenna.
Connection “1” and “2” is the input to the ATU coil from Matching Transformer.
When delivered from the factory the Antenna Tuning Coil is provided with
six (6) straps connected terminals 3 to 9. I.e. strap “A” to strap “F” connected.
The output from the Matching Transformer initially is connected to ATU Coil connection “1”,
and the Antenna Insulator is connected to terminal 10.

1200 - 2000 3 only A+B+C+D+E+F 2
3.5.2 Proposed start position for use of the additional 200 pF Capacitor
NOTE !
If change of wire connected to the Antenna Insulator or to the 200 pF Capacitor
make sure that these wires are well separated (space distance) to the cabinet.
This to avoid voltage flashover between wire and cabinet.
These proposed strappings and insertion of the 200 pF capacitor is based on a typical
maritime antenna which has a capacity of 120 to 200 pF all over the frequency range
from 190 kHz to 2000 kHz.
For other antennas the strapping combination on the ATU coil and use of the 200 pF
may be different.
Start with strapping (short circuit straps) on the ATU Coil, and use of 200 pF as proposed above.
Page 5(17)
3.6 Manual TUNING of the equipment (to be carried out inside the NDB Cabinet)
Manual Tune installation
A. Set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU to upper position (“RF Output”), pushdown switch
SW4 (“TUNE”) and notice deflection on the meter on the PCU.
B. While holding down the “TUNE” switch, turn the Goniometer (turn the handle on the Antenna
Tuning Coil) and see if you can obtain an increase and clear maximum deflection on the meter
C. If no clear max. deflection on the Meter), the ATU Tuning Coil is outside the tuning range
D. Release the “TUNE” switch and hold down the “IDLE switch a few seconds to reset RF
Power output
E. Change strapping on the Tuning Coil for more or less short circuit
F. Push down switch SW4 (“TUNE”) again and turn the goniometer on the Antenna Tuning Coil
again and see if you now can obtain an increase and clear maximum deflection on the meter
G. If no “Tune” (no clear maximum ) deflection on the Meter), the Tuning Coil is still outside the
tuning range. Select to another strapping and go to “B” above again and until a clear maximum
defection is obtained on the meter when turning the goniometer.
(When correct tuning you shall obtain two (2) clear maximum deflection over one (1) turn of the
goniometer (360 degrees))
NOTE ! The rate of turn ratio between the Goniometer handle and the goniometer
itself is 4 to 1. I.e. you need four (4) turns rotation of the handle to rotate the
goniometer one turn (360 degrees)
H. Now set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU to lower position (“VSWR”), pushdown
switch SW4 (“TUNE”) again and notice deflection on the meter
I. While holding down the “TUNE” switch, turn the goniometer very slowly to obtain a clear and
very distinct minimum reading on the meter
Page 6(17)
J. After finding “Tune” ( a clear and distinct minimum on the meter) notice the deflection.
K. If deflection indicates less than 10 on the meter ( with the meter switch in position VSWR)
you have perfect “Tuning” & perfect Impedance matching
L. If the deflection indicates more than 20 you may need to adjust the impedance matching on the
Loading Transformer for better impedance matching
M. Change the tapping (to left or right direction) on the Matching Transformer strapping field.
See below picture for Impedance matching
N. While holding down the “TUNE” switch, check if the deflection of the meter now becomes less
or higher than first measurement.
O. If less move the strapping further same direction and check the meter reading, as “O” above
P. If higher deflection move the strapping the other direction
Q. When deflection indicates less than 20 on the meter (with the meter switch in position VSWR),
you have acceptable “Tuning” & perfect Impedance matching
R. If pushing down switch SW5 (“RUN”) the transmitter will start operation
S. To stop operation (stop transmitting NDB signals) of the Transmitter push down switch SW 4
(“IDLE”) for a few seconds
After finishing Tuning reinstall the Shield Cover again and perform a final fine tuning
of the Antennas Tuning Coil and a final Impedance matching with the Cover Shield on
T. The transmitter is ready for operation.

3.7 AUTO TUNE
Auto Tune installation
3.7.1 AUTO TUNE System Description

If the Transmitter is delivered with AUTO TUNE capability the Manual Tune handle is replaced with
a 24 VDC motor with gear (1:500) assembly driving the axis of the Goniometer on the Antenna
Tuning Coil and a (AUTO TUNE PCB) is installed on top of the Antenna Tuning bracket
The circuit board (AUTO TUNE PCB) receives +24VDC and starts operation when the Transmitter
is switched ON and switch on the Power Control Unit (PCU) marked “ATU ON” is activated
(position up).
Each of the RF Power Amplifiers of NDB Transmitter type JTM-30C has built-in circuits for
monitoring of RF Output and monitoring of VSWR ratio from the Amplifiers.
If the NDB Transmitter is delivered as SINGLE version, only Amplifier “B” is installed.
When the transmitter is provided with AUTO TUNE option the Manual handle is replaced with
a 24 VDC motor with gear (1:500) assembly driving the axis of the Goniometer on the Antenna
Tuning Coil.
An AUTO TUNE PCB is installed on top of the Antenna Tuning bracket. This board receives
24VDC supply voltage and control signals from the Power Control Unit (PCU) board.
The input signals to the AUTO TUNE PCB are the VSWR output voltage and RF Output voltage
from the RF Power Amplifiers.
The motor get source of energy (0 to 24VDC) from the AUTO TUNE PCB.
Page 8(17)
3.7.1.1 RF Out voltage from RF Power Amplifier(s)

The RF Output circuit inside the RF Power Amplifier(s) is provided with circuits sensing the RF
current at the 50 ohms output from the Amplifier. If the Antenna Tuning Coil, and the Impedance
matching circuits are correctly adjusted, the RF sensing circuits of the RF Power Amplifier will (at
100W PEP, alternatively 250W PEP Option) supply a DC voltage of approx. 4,5 Volt (RF Out
voltage).
If the Antenna Tuning Coil and/or the Impedance matching circuits is NOT correctly adjusted
(EQUIPMENT NOT IN TUNE) the RF Out voltage from the RF Power Amplifier will be reduced
and may be as low as 0 Volt.
3.7.1.2 VSWR voltage from RF Power Amplifier(s)

The VSWR circuit inside the RF Power Amplifier(s) is provided with circuits sensing the VSWR
ratio at the 50 ohms output from the Amplifier. If the Antenna Tuning Coil and the Impedance
matching circuits are correctly adjusted the VSWR sensing circuits of the RF Power Amplifier will
supply a VSWR voltage of less than 1 volt (typical 0,7 Volt), indicating correct impedance
matching and correct Tuning
If the Antenna Tuning Coil and/or the Impedance matching circuits is NOT correctly adjusted
(EQUIPMENT NOT IN TUNE) the VSWR output voltage from the RF Power Amplifier will
increase and may come up to maximum 7 Volt.
During modulation (Transmitter sending Morse signals) the VSWR voltage will vary slightly and
may disturb correct tuning. When transmitter sending Morse signals the RF Out DC level from the
RF Power Amplifier generates an increase of the RF Out DC level derived from AM modulation.
The additional DC voltage variation, derived from modulation, is detected and used to stop
operation of the motor during Transmitter sending Morse signals.
I.e. the Motor remains quiescent during Transmitter sending Morse signals.
After finishing sending the Morse signal sequence, which normally shall takes 10 seconds, the
variation on the RF Out voltage will stop and the motor will again be controlled by the VSWR
voltage.
3.7.1.3 Correct Morse sequence

To achieve optimum operation of the AUTO TUNE the programming of the ship Callsign (Morse)
needs to have approx. 10 seconds intervals with NO Morse signals (without modulation) between
each Morse sequence. For Exciter SW 10.2 and further new SW this is done automatically when
programming the Callsign (Morse ID).
After programming the Callsign (Morse) activate “UPDATE” followed by activating “SAVE”
On the PC you will see that the Callsign (Morse) is with capital letters.
10 seconds interval has been added automatically after the Callsign (Morse) sequence.
If installing AUTO Tune option on “old” version of NDB Transmitter Type JTM-30C provided
with Exciter SW (such as 7.0 or 9.2 etc.), programming of approx. 10 seconds with NO Morse
signals intervals is required manually by adding minimum 10 “space” characters at the end of the
sequence, This in order to achieve quick AUTO Tune function.
Such programming is not required if the Transmitter is provided with “Manual Tune”.
Page 9(17)
Edit Sig “0” = “VVV VVV VVV QTG DE TEST TEST TEST * * _____________”
Edit Sig “1” = “TEST _____________ ”
“* *“ indicates that the transmitter will send two (2) long dash (key ON) each approx. 5 seconds long
“_____________” (underscore) indicates approx. 10 seconds with NO Morse (key OFF).
“TEST” represents here the ship/rig Call sign.
3.7.2 First time tuning

Select the proposed start position of strapping on the Antenna Tuning Coil and/or strapping of the
200pF Capacitor as described under section 2.4 above, and switch the Transmitter ON.
NOTE!
Set the Instrument switch, on the PCU board, to position “RF Out” (up) and notice the
reading on the instrument.
Starts AUTO TUNE operation with the switch on the Power Control Unit (PCU) marked “ATU
ON” is activated (position up).
For optimum results of AUTO TUNE, when first time start tuning of the equipment, activate
and hold down the “TUNE” switch on the PCU Board as long as the motor is running until it
finds IN TUNE position. When finding correct IN TUNE position the motor stops and the reading
on the Instrument (RF Out) should show minimum 40 (typical 60).
Turn the Instrument switch to position “VSWR” (down) and notice the reading.
If the reading is less than 25 you have perfect tuning (typical value is 15).
Set the Instrument switch back to default position “RF Out” (up) again.
If not finding IN TUNE within one rotation of the Goniometer axis, which takes approx. 35 seconds
release the “TUNE” switch, press an hold the “IDLE” switch for a few second and release “IDLE”
switch again, and the transmitter will then stop,
Change the strapping to another combination on the Antenna Tuning Coil left or right, activate and
hold down the “TUNE” switch again until the AUTO TUNE finds IN TUNE and the motor stops.
If still not finding IN TUNE position, continue changing strapping on the Antenna Tuning Coil
until finding IN TUNE and the “RF Out” is reading minimum 40.
During activation of the “TUNE” switch the Transmitter only generates carrier (without
modulation). When releasing the “TUNE” switch the Transmitter start to transmit Morse signals
again. (The equipment is in normal operation).
Page 10(17)
3.7.3 AUTO TUNE Mode Tuning Operation

The DC voltage levels from “RF Out” and “VSWR” of the RF Amplifier(s) is used for AUTO
TUNE operation.
The direction of the motor is controlled from the AUTO TUNE PCB.
NOTE!
Set the Instrument switch, on the PCU board, to position “RF Out” (up) and notice the
reading on the instrument.
The speed of the motor is dependent on the VSWR voltage. If the VSWR voltage is high the motor
run with high speed, but as the VSWR voltage decreases the speed of the motor will be reduced
accordingly. Yellow LED marked “Motor Running” on the AUTO TUNE panel will be lit as long
as the motor is running.
If the VSWR voltage increase the motor will change direction and the VSWR voltage decreases
again and after a few changes of motor directions the motor stop at minimum VSWR Voltage
(Correct tuning). At the same time the Green LED market “IN TUNE” will be lit on AUTO TUNE
panel and on PCU Board.
During normal operation of the equipment, if the conditions of the Antenna change, the VSWR may
increase and the motor may/will start to run.
If the VSWR voltage increases further the motor change direction and passes over minimum VSWR
and after a few change of motor directions the motor stop at correct tuning (minimum VSWR
Voltage). If the VSWR level remains low the motor will remain quiescent and the
LED marked “IN TUNE” on both the AUTO TUNE PCB and on the PCU board will be lit.
If the equipment does not find IN TUNE the motor will run for approx. 2 minutes and stop, which is
approx. four (4) turns rotation of the Rotor. The Red LED marked “ALARM” on the AUT TUNE
panel will lit. This is an indication that the equipment is NOT IN TUNE.
Press and hold down a few seconds the “IDLE” switch on the PCU Board, release the switch and
the Transmitter automatically will be switched OFF.
Check if the reason is related to un-cleaned Antenna Insulators.
70-80 % of all claims regarding problem with NDB transmitter is related to poor maintenance
of the Antenna Insulators.
IF Insulators are OK change the strapping on the coil and/or change strapping of the 200 pF in
accordance with proposed position of for strapping on the ATU Coil and Capacitor.
Activate and hold down the “TUNE” switch on the PCU again and the motor will start rotating and
adjust to Minimum VSWR until it finds IN TUNE.
It may take up to maximum 35 second (one rotation of the rotor axis) to find IN TUNE.
If it still does not find IN TUNE the motor will keep on running approx. 2 minutes until “ALARM”
LED on the AUTO TUNE PCB is lit and the motor stops.
Page 11(17)
When finding correct IN TUNE position the motor stops and the reading on the Instrument (RF
Out) should show minimum 40 (typical 60).
Turn the Instrument switch to position “VSWR” (down) and notice the reading.
If the reading is less than 25 you have perfect tuning (typical value is 15).
If minimum VSWR indication on the PCU instrument is indicating over 30 press and hold down a
few seconds the “IDLE” switch, release switch and the Transmitter switches OFF.
Change the position on the Matching Transformer strapping field (left or right) and activate “RUN”
again. Repeat until finding an Impedance tapping giving VSWR value less than 20.
Position “7” on the Impedance matching strapping field is mostly used.
3.7.4 MANUAL Mode Tuning Operation (Backup Solution)

If the AUTO TUNE circuits for some reasons fail we have implemented a backup solution.
Set the ATU switch on the PCU board in middle position and no DC supply voltage is supplied for
AUTO TUNE operation from the PCU.
Set the Instrument switch on the PCU in position “RF Out”.
On top of the AUTO TUNE panel there are two (2) knobs (CW and CCW).
If activating knob marked CW (clockwise) the motor will go in CW direction.
If activating knob marked CCW (counter clockwise) the motor will go in CCW direction.
Push one of these pushbuttons and notice if there is any change in instrument display when the
motor is turning the Goniometer.
Use the CW and CCW pushbuttons and adjust for MAXIMUM RF Output.
Set the Instrument switch in position “VSWR” and fine tune to MINIMUM VSWR with same
CW /CCW pushbuttons. Reading below 20 is acceptable.
Set the Instrument switch back to “RF Out” (up) again.

3.8 Checking remote control operation from Remote Control Units

The equipment may be connected to Remote Control Unit(s) by using individual
lines (Multi-cable). The Remote Control Unit JTM-30R has terminals for
interconnection to several Remote Control Units.
3.8.1 Remote Control Type JTM-30R

A typical configuration with Remote Control Unit JTM-30R is with all 24 multi wire
cable fed from the Transmitter Cabinet to a Remote Control JTM-30C.
The Remote Control JTM-30R has extra terminals for further connection to next
Remote Control.
The Remote Control JTM-30R is provided with an ACTIVATED / OFF / REMOTE

switch and six (6) indicator lamps (LED).
If in position “REMOTE” the next Remote Control can control the Transmitter.
The six (6) LEDs provides following indications (in parallel with all Remote
Control Panels).
 LED “DC ON” is lit when the Transmitter cabinet is powered with DC supply
 If LED “Carrier” is lit, when the transmitter in operation, it indicates
sufficient RF power output. (E.g. when the transmitter generates RF Power
output and equipment is tune correctly (under normal operation conditions)
 LED “Modulation” will lit (blinking) during periods, when the transmitter
is transmitting a modulated signal (Morse signal)
 LED “Main” indicates that the Main Transmitter (“TXA”) is in operation
 LED “Reserve” indicates that the Reserve Transmitter (“TXB”) is in operation
 LED “Alarm” will only lit if the Transmitter B has registered failure (too low
RF power or failure in transmission of Mores signals), or general failure
In addition the Remote Control Unit has a loudspeaker and a switch to activate
monitoring of Morse or voice output modulation from the Transmitter.
The Remote Control Unit JTM-30R also acts as an Interface Box as it is provided
with a RS-485 D-SUB connector for PC connection.
It also contains outputs (gives voltage free contact) to external Alarm indicators when
following situation occur : “DC input failure”, “Reserve TX in operation” and “Alarm”.
Terminals for Voice Enable (Push-to-talk) for Voice announcements over the Transmitter,
terminals for AM audio (Voice) input to Transmitter for Voice announcements over the
Transmitter, terminals for MSK serial input for DGPS operation, and a Load speaker for
Morse - or Voice monitoring are also included.
 LED “Carrier” indicates, if it is continuously lit, that the transmitter in
operation has sufficient RF power output
 LED “Modulation” will lit during periods when the transmitter in operation is
transmitting a modulated signal (Mores signal)
 LED “Failure” will only lit if the Transmitter has registered failure (too low
RF power) or failure in transmission of Mores signals) on Transmitter B
Page 13(17)
3.9 Checking remote control and monitoring from PC
For details see “Transmitter configuration and User Manual”.
3.9.1 MONITORING ONLY (Level 0)

This function is meant for monitoring only of one (“Single Site”) or several (“Multi Site”) NDB
Transmitters over Internet from PC.
The equipment may be monitored from an external PC via one pair of wires
+ ground cable connected to a RS-485 /USB Interface box at the PC.
When logged in to the PC as “General user” (level 0) you may only monitor the equipment such as:
 Monitoring which Transmitter in operation (Main or Reserve)

 Monitoring RF Output power
 Monitoring DC input Current to the equipment
 Monitoring temperature at the High Power Amplifier (HPA)
 Monitoring Tuning Condition (VSWR)
 Monitoring ambient temperature (temperature inside transmitter cabinet)
 Monitoring if the equipment gives an alarm
 Check RF Power Output and other conditions on both Transmitter

 Reading event log that records all system events, such as restart, parameter changes and
error events
3.9.2 OPERATOR (Level 1)

The equipment may be fully controlled and monitored from an external PC via one pair of wires
Distance between Transmitter and PC may be as long as required (up to 500m).
When logged in to the PC as “General user” (level 1) you only may perform normal Operation and
monitoring of the equipment such as :
 Switching the equipment ON or OFF
error events
3.9.3 “Administrator” (Level 2)

When logged in to the PC as “Administrator” you may, in addition to “General user” as
specified above, have full access and ability to configure and make adjustment and
monitoring of the Transmitter such as :
 Setting Carrier frequency
Page 14(17)
 Setting RF power output

 Setting Modulation type - Morse, Audio or MSK (option)
 Setting Modulation depth
 Setting Morse tone frequency and Morse sequence (ID)
 Setting Keying rate
 Setting of four (4) different Morse messages
 Selection of type of timer and setting of time
 RESET of Main or Reserve Transmitter, if failed (Alarm)
 Setting User name and Pass words and selection of mode for Reserve Transmitter
 Reading event log that records all system events, such as restart, parameter changes and
error events.
(The JTM-30C has a built-in non-volatile memory sufficient for storage of the entire
transmitter configuration, and enabling stand-alone un-attended operation. Saving the
configuration in solid-state memory is controlled via the PC interface).
3.9.4 Checking separate alarm outputs

The equipment is provided with separate voltage free relay contact (max 0,5A) for following
indications :
 DC power input to Transmitter is missing (E.g. Alarm if AC Mains failure)
 Transmitter B (Reserve Transmitter) closed circuit when Reserve Transmitter is in operation
 Alarm (due to failure of insufficient RF power or incorrect Morse signal) of the
Reserve Transmitter. Clouse circuit on ALARM
Separate voltage free relay contact for same indication as above from Transmitter Cabinet is also
available from the Remote Control Unit JTM-30R.
On Remote Controls it may be strapped for close circuit or open circuit on AC mains failure
3.10 Modulation Type N0N/A3E
3.10.1 Modulation N0N/A3E

For permanent N0N/A3E operation, from the PC select “AUDIO” under the “TRANMITTER SET
UP” “Modulation Type”.
Audio on the unbalanced 600 ohm 0 dBm audio line will AM modulate the Transmitter
Automatic switching between N0N/A2A and N0N/A3E is via activation of a Push-to-talk

switch (PTT). If so the NDB must be configured from the PC for “N0N/A2A” operation.
If the Transmitter is configured for N0N/A2A modulation the equipment will operate in this mode as
long as the Push-to-talk switch (PTT) is not activated.
When the Push-to-talk switch (PTT) is activated the Morse N0N/A2A will be interrupted and voice
from the 600 ohm audio will AM modulate the Transmitter.
The N0N/A3E mode of modulation is implemented enabling the customer to transmit audio (Voice)
over the NDB Transmitter. The audio/voice is AM modulated on the Carrier.
The Transmitter will be 100% AM modulated when audio/voice level is 0 dBm
Page 15(17)
0 dBm = 0,775 Volt RMS. Audio/voice frequency range 200 Hz to 3000 kHz.
The input to the transmitter is 600 ohm un-balanced. Connection can be direct on the Transmitter
terminal, or to any of the Remote Control terminal boards between terminal “10” (-24V) and “20”
(VOICE IN).
It is recommended to include a matching Transformer converting from unbalanced 600 ohm on the
Transmitter to balanced 600 ohm on the audio line (equivalent to regular analogue Telephone lines).
This in order to avoid connection of the -24V pole to ground.
3.10.2 Modulation N0N/A1A

Operation in modulation mode type N0N/A1A is configured from the PC
On the PC select “MORSE A1” under the “TRANMITTER SET UP” and “Modulation Type”.
For N0N/A1A operation the Transmitter will send Morse signals identical as for N0N/A2A.but with
modulation A1A (Key ON = Carrier ON and Key OFF = Carrier OFF).
Insertion of Morse sequence is by programming from the PC (as for modulation N0N/A2A).
Insertion of Morse sequence is by programming from the PC (as for modulation N0N/A2A).
3.11 Optional mode of Modulation

The equipment may be provided with SW (Optional) for additional types of modulation.
 MSK (as one single line ON/OFF interface)

 MSK (as RS-232 interface)
Separate documentation is supplied if the equipment is provided with “MSK” capability.

4. INTRODUCTION
The JTM-NDB-SW (runs on any PC from Windows VISTA 32 or 64 bit) can be used for monitoring and
Control of the equipment.
This document assumes a Windows 10. based host. The program is installed from the supplied CD.
The installation procedure is explained in details below.
The program enables full control of NDB Transmitter (DUAL and SINGLE versions) connected to the
computer via a single RS485 line. Each Transmitter chain (Transmitter A or Transmitter B) are controlled on
an individual basis, and is recognized by the control program by its card position.
Each Transmitter card (Exciter A and Exciter B) communicates with the control program on intervals of one
second. Analogue readings from the Power Amplifiers and the Transmitter Units (Transmitter A or
Transmitter B) are therefore updated once every second. Commands to the Transmitter are also scheduled on
second intervals. The operation of the Transmitter Control program is described in chapter three.
4.1 PC program installation
4.1.1 First time installation of the SW
NOTE ! Installation of this SW requires that you have “Administrator” rights to set up your PC.
The JTM-30C is shipped with one (1) support CD that contains the following items:
.
• The JTM-NDB-SW Control Program
• Driver software for JTM-485 link operation
• Full product documentation for the NDB
• Copy of JTM-485/ LAN Configuration Software ( Lantronix/ Grid Connect), and Software for
setting up secure RS485/ LAN connection
• Tuning videos (matching antenna to NDB Transmitter)

Page 2(23)
4.1.2 Installation procedure for JTM-NDB-SW Program:
1. Check that there is no previous installation of this program on the computer.

• If the JTM logo appears in the Start menu, remove the old installation by using the
facility of the Control Panel to remove installed programs.
• If there is a directory C:\NDB on the computer, rename it or erase it.
2. Make sure that an RS485 port driver has been updated on the computer. The driver
for this port is found on the RS-485 Interface folder on the CD.
Determine the COM port number of this interface, as it will be required later during the
installation. This can be done by selecting: Start –Run- Type “devmgmt.msc”- and under Ports
the USB port will be shown together with its COM Port No.
3. Insert the JTM-NDB-SW CD in the computer’s CD/DVD drive. The installation will now start
automatically. If for some reason it does not, select the CD/DVD drive and manually run the
setup program.
4. After starting the installation, the user will be prompted for the COM port number used by the
RS-485 link. Only the port number shall be entered, no spaces, and no text. Then press OK.
5. The installation then completes automatically. It also installs a directory named C:\NDB\ where
all the user data files reside, such as COM Port and History Log information. Finally it places the
Transmitter icon under Start Programs JTM-NDB-SW.
At this stage, the PC Control Program is ready for operation. The default user name is “admin” and the
password is “exciter”. It is recommended that user names and passwords are personalized by the user. This
will be explained in chapter 4.5.
4.1.3 Upgrading the Control Program

When a software update is received, the following procedure is required to do a successful upgrade.
1. Using the Windows Control Panel, select “Add or Remove Programs”. In the displayed list find the
JTM-NDB-SW. Use the option to remove the program.
2. Remove C:\NDB folder and all its content.
3. Install the new software by following step 3 in the section 4.1.2 above.
4.1.4 Un-installation of PC SW
To remove the JTM-NDB-SW from your computer do step 1 in the Upgrade section. The directory C:\NDB\
must also be deleted.

Page 3(23)
4.2 Configuration
4.2.1 Starting the JTM-NDB-SW

When the JTM-NDB-SW is correctly installed, there will be an icon for this program under Start Programs
JTM-NDB-SW.
The program is started by clicking this icon.
4.2.2 Logging on
The first window to appear is the login dialog window. To proceed, it is necessary to enter a correct user ID
and a password. As soon as a correct entry code is supplied, the login window will disappear, and the
Transmitter Control Program Transmitter panel page appears.
If an incorrect user ID or a wrong password was entered, the login window will give a message about the
fault, and ask for a corrected entry. Access to the Transmitter Control Program is barred until a correct entry
is received.
After a correct access code is recognized, the program will spend the first few seconds in an attempt to
establish contact with the Transmitters. If one is found, the program will select the control page for the
Transmitter that is present, and perform a Read operation to retrieve the configuration of that Transmitter.
If two Transmitter chains are found, Transmitter A will be selected, as this by default is the active unit.
4.3 Overview
Upon a correct entry of user code and password, the transmitter control page is displayed.
The JTM-NDB-SW has five pages or views as indicated by the tabs
• Transmitter A panel giving access to the Main Transmitter unit
• Transmitter B panel giving access to the Stand-by Transmitter unit
• The System page providing configuration as well as user access data.
• A Log page giving system history (Event Log), as well as control of log file erasure.
• A Calendar page is supplied for convenience.
Three different levels of user access rights are defined:

• The Administrator level giving access to all functions (Rights 2 = all rights)
• The general user (Operator) level (Rights 1 = limited rights) with access to some functions, but
without access to the system view or configuration of the Transmitters.
• An additional “Monitor” function is implemented (Rights 0 = Monitoring only)
4.4 Transmitter panel windows

There are two pages for Transmitter control. These are designated Transmitter A and Transmitter B.
In the top left hand corner of the program window, a banner message will indicate which unit is active.
Because there is a time-out when waiting for response from the attached units, it will take a few seconds for
this banner message to appear correctly.
To control the main Transmitter, the Transmitter A tab must be selected. For the stand-by unit, select
Transmitter B. Each tab page gives full control of the selected Transmitter.
The Transmitter A / Transmitter B panels consist of an upper part that contains the operational status of the
Transmitter, and a lower part showing its configuration.

Page 4(23)
The upper part is split in three columns showing (from left to right):
• Status lamps. There are lamps for Active status, Transmitter status, Carrier status and Modulation
status. This section is called “TRANSMITTER STATUS”
• Next, there is a display area which is updated every second. There are displays for transmitted
power, transmitter current and impedance matching, heat sink temperature, and a reading of the air
temperature inside the transmitter. The Transmitter Power indication has an additional function in
that there is a GO/NOGO colour lamp on the left hand side of the field. When this lamp is green, the
transmitter operation is correct, and there is sufficient power. When the power is below 70%, this
lamp turns yellow, indicating that the output power is too low. This indication only appears when the
Transmitter is active.
NOTE ! Indicated TX Power and the colours is for indication only and are only reliable
when the RF Output impedance matching for the amplifier is optimal.
To the left and on the right there are ten (10) control buttons. They are called the “CONTROLS” section.
By clicking on these buttons you select the operational mode of the Transmitter.
Controls Controls
In order to report the response from the Transmitter, different background colors are used. This is true for
the status lamps as well as for the buttons. An active function is indicated with a green background,
while an inactive function will have a grey background.
When a button is clicked, the grey background is changed to yellow. At the same time the button
command is relayed to the Transmitter. The Transmitter reports back to the PC when the command is
received and processed. The button will then change to green or back to grey depending on the context.

Page 5(23)
The buttons in the CONTROL section are:

• RUN Pressing this button will initiate normal operation of the transmitter according to the
set-up parameters in the TRANSMITTER SETUP section.
• MAN. TUNE This button puts the transmitter in a condition where it is ready for a manual antenna
tune operation. The transmitter outputs an un-modulated carrier at the designated frequency and
power.
• AUTO LEVEL The purpose of this control is to adjust the gain of the transmit chain, such that there
is correspondence between the level control and the power output reading. When this control has
been activated for five seconds, the gain is measured, and a power correction factor is calculated.
The correction factor is saved in permanent memory, and will remain in operation until the next time
the AUTO LEVEL button is selected. If an AUTO LEVEL operation is performed without an
amplifier attached, the correction factor will be set to 0,2. Upon completion of the gain adjustment
the Power correction indication on the screen is automatically updated. After the five seconds, the
AUTO LEVEL control remains inactive until another command is issued.
• IDLE When the IDLE button is pressed, the transmitter is turned on, but without carrier
and/or modulation. This makes it possible to read the idle current drawn by the transmitter.
• STOP This command terminates operation of the transmitter. The Power Amplifier is
switched off, and no RF signals are generated from the Exciter Unit.
• READ The READ button is intended to update the display with the current configuration of
the Transmitter. When the READ button is pressed, the button’s background colour is changed to
yellow. When the Transmitter has reported back, and the display is updated according to the
Transmitter’s configuration, the button’s colour changes back to grey. The Transmitter report
contains all the relevant parameters and the display is updated with these values.
• BLOCK The BLOCK command will force an alarm on the transmitter, and thus transfer the
control to the standby transmitter. This function can be useful during testing and/or when tuning is to
be performed on the standby transmitter. A BLOCK command is reversed by a TRANSMITTER
RESET command.
• TRANSMITTER RESET This command will reset any alarm conditions in the transmitter and
resume its operation. If the cause of the alarm persists, a new alarm will appear after one minute.
• UPDATE The BLOCK command will send the latest information which is programed into the
PC to the Exciter.
• SAVE The BLOCK command will Save the information at the Exciter which was sent from PC to
Exciter under commando “UPDATE
CONFIG This BLOCK command enabling to configure which rate of RF Power the actual RF Power
Amplifier is prepared for under “TX TYPE (W)” and configuring the Alarm action.
All other information under “Transmitter Info” is read only information.
• Power correction (”PWR CORR”). This is not an editable field, but a display indicating the
result of the automatic gain adjustment procedure in the Transmitter when the Test mode is
selected. The power correction factor is intended to compensate for gain differences between
Transmitters and Power amplifiers. The correction value indicates the coefficient by which the
synthesizer signal amplitude is multiplied before being output to the Power Amplifier .
“PWR CORR” is read only information.

• Exciter SW version. This field displays the SW version reported from the Transmitter.
Configuration of “TRANSMITTER INFO”
• Transmitter size ( W PEP)” In this area you may configure maximum RF output (W PEP) for the
actual RF Power Amplifier connected
• Alarm action. In this field there is a selection of different actions that the Transmitter will take upon
detection of an alarm. Certain authorities have a deviant requirement for action. Reset action. This
field is updated by the Transmitter at program start or when requested. It shows which action the
Transmitter will take upon power-up reset when switched on or after a power outage. To change the
• Reset action. In this field the action to be taken by the Transmitter after DC supply of energy has
been disconnected. “HALT” means shall be switched OFF. “RUN” mean shall be switched ON
If any of above parameters under “SETUP” or “CONFIG” has been changed enter the System tab page
and make the desired selection. You must then return to the transmitter page(s) to Update and Save the
new configuration.
When the (action carried out ) action chosen in the System page is loaded into the Transmitter(s) and
saved in flash, a Read command will produce the new settings in this field. The text is grey for the A-unit,
because it has no relevance in this position, however, it is useful to know the configuration of each
Transmitter chain.

Page 7(23)
The middle right part of the screen (“SETUP”) is reserved for Transmitter configuration. This part is
available only to users with administrator access rights. The following controls and selections are
available:
• Frequency control. In the field RF Freq [Hz] the carrier frequency may be entered in Hertz. The
factory default frequency is 410000Hz. In the field just above, the same frequency is displayed in a
more readable format. Frequency range from 190kHz to 2MHz may be selected in steps of one
Hertz.
• Modulation type. The following modulation types are available as standard or as options:
1. Morse N0N/A2A. The selected Morse sequence is keyed automatically.
2. Audio A3E. The signal at the audio port (200-3000Hz) is modulated onto the carrier.
3. MSK via RS232 (Option)
4. MSK direct, via an analog port. (Option)
5. Morse A1A. On-off Morse keying of an un-modulated carrier.
• Carrier level control. In the entry field RF pwr [%] the carrier level may be set to % of the
maximum RF power from the RF Power Amplifier of the Transmitter. An entry of “60” will be
understood as meaning 150WPEP carrier output from the RF Power Amplifier 250W PEP , or
optional 60W at 100WPEP. This is correct only after the Auto Level function has been used to find
the correct correction factor.
• AM level [%]. The AM level control is active for the N0N/A2A and A3E modulation types. The AM
level may be set to % of full modulation. The default is 95% modulation.
• MSK (Baud) rate. When the MSK modulation type is selected, the modulation rate may be selected
as 50, 100 or 200 baud. Optional service
• In the field “Sequence Type”. This control selects the sequence to be transmitted. It is possible to
transmit one sequence while editing another. A change of Active sequence must be updated to the
Transmitter before it is valid.
0. Continuous: The selected sequence is sent continuously without expiration.
1. Until: The selected sequence is repeated until the interval timer expires (see below).
2. Once every: The selected sequence is sent once every time the interval timer expires.
• Interval [min]. For sequences 2 and 3 the interval is selected in this field in minutes. The interval
range is 0 to 1000. The default value is 35 minutes.
• In the field “RATE (CPM)” you set the Morse speed in characters per minute.
The keying rate in average characters per minute is selected in this field. The keying rate range is 5
to 100 cpm. The default value is 10 cpm
• In the Field “TONE” Morse tone [Hz]. This field selects the frequency of the tone used for A2A
modulation. The frequency range is 150 to 1020 Hz. The default value is 400 Hz.
• “Morse Message”. There are four possible Morse sequences that can be programmed and selected.
Each sequence consists of up to 100 characters. A space between words is interpreted as three pause
units. A sequence end is transmitted as seven pause units. A star character (*) is interpreted as a long
dash lasting 64 units. The available character set is given in Appendix A. At the end of each
sequence the transmitter will automatically insert a sequence of spaces equal to about ten seconds in
order for the optional Auto tune function to settle correctly.

NOTE !
It is important to initiate the UPDATE button to download the new configuration to the Transmitter in
question. The UPDATE button may be pressed at any time, and will download a snapshot of the
parameters in the computer display. After download has been initiated, the button will change its
background colour to green, to indicate that a new set of data has been sent. When the button colour
changes back to grey this is a receipt from the Transmitter that the parameters are actually changed.
When this button is pressed another change becomes apparent. The SAVE button turns yellow. This
indicates that the Transmitter configuration has been changed, but is not yet stored in permanent
memory. Without a save operation, the Transmitter will return to its previous configuration after a
power-down.
When the SAVE button is pressed, the current Transmitter configuration is saved in permanent
memory in the Transmitter, independent of the PC program configuration. Please be aware that the saved
information is equal to the displayed information only if the save was preceded by a read or an update
operation. When the save operation is successfully completed, the Transmitter reports back to the
computer, which in turn makes the save button grey once again.
If DUAL Transmitter make sure that UPDATE and SAVE has been done for both
Transmitter A and Transmitter B.
After finishing configuration of Transmitter A and/or B, go to the System menu and initiate
“SAVE SETUP TO FILE”.

Page 9(23)
4.5 System page
The SYSTEM page is accessible only for users with administrator rights. It handles the program access
rights, two sets of Transmitter set up, as well as the configuration for alarm and reset actions.
The two set-up options are the following:
• One option is the Factory Default setting. This cannot be altered by the user and is only used to reset
the Transmitter to initial conditions.
• There is also a possibility for the user to save setup on the local PC, a user defined set of parameters.
This function is useful to copy configurations between Transmitters and to save an important set of
parameters.
The alarm configuration allows a user to meet local regulations for system shut-down in the case of an alarm.
The reset configuration allows the administrator to configure each transmitter for its response to a power-up
event. The transmitter can be made to auto-start or to idle from reset.
For either configuration the operator must down load the set-up to the appropriate Exciter unit from its tab
page and saved in permanent memory by pressing the SAVE-button.
There is also a control to select the power level of the attached Transmitters. The levels available are
100WPEP, 250WPEP, 500WPEP and 1000WPEP. This selection is used to give a correct reading for output
power on the power display. To make the configuration permanent it is necessary to save the configuration to
each exciters, by pressing the buttons “UPDATE” and “SAVE” in the Transmitter A and Transmitter B
windows. (Please mind that changing the power level does not do anything to the NDB Transmitters actual
RF output).
The Access Rights field is a user editable field, where user ID’s, corresponding passwords and access rights
may be specified. There is no limit or required length for the ID and Password selections, but the Rights field

Page 10(23)
must be either a “1” (for limited rights) or a “2” (for full rights). Whenever the Access Rights field has been
changed, the SAVE button at the lower part of this field must be pressed, for the change to be permanent.

The numbers in the windows are not absolute values, but approx. information only for
quick status overview.
5.3.1 Power (WPEP)

The “Power (WPEP)” window is an indication to check that the Transmitter is
generating RF output to the Antenna. When the Transmitter is switched ON and under
normal condition the background of the window is GREEN, and will be GREEN as log
at the RF Power output is 70% or higher than programmed “RF pow. (%)”.
E.g. if “RF pow. (%)” is configured to 50% and the number in the “Power (WPEP)”
window is above approx. 35 the background is GREEN, but the background will turn to
YELLOW if the number in this window is below approx. 35.
The equipment is still operational if the background is YELLOW, but RF output is
reduced due to poor Antenna tuning and/or due to poor cleaning of the Antenna
Insulators.

Page 5(14)
5.3.2 Current /A)

This window shoes the DC current supplied to the Transmitter.
Under normal condition the window is white, and will be white as log at the DC current
is less than 15 Amp. If the DC current is higher than 15 Amps the background turns
RED indicating excessed DC current indicating that the DC drain current to the
Transmitter is too high.
5.3.3 Power Amplifier Temp (C)

This window shoes the temperature (Co) at the Output RF Transistors
When transmitter is switched ON the background of the window is white and will
indicate the temperature on the Output Transistors. During operation the temperature
will increase, but normally not exceed 65 Co.
If the temperature for some reason should increase above 80 Co the background
becomes RED.
The RF Output Amplifier will operate normally up to 90 Co. If exceeding 90 Co the RF
Amplifier will shut-down. When after the RF Amplifier has cooled down to temperature
below70 Co the RF Amplifier will operate normally again.
5.3.4 Antenna VSWR

This window is inserted to have control over the impedance matching and Antenna
Tuning. During ideal conditions the VSWR should show less than 1,5.
The Transmitter is considered operating correctly as long as the VSWR shows below 2,5.
After finishing fine tuning of the Antenna Tuning Coil adjust the Impedance matching
to minimum VSWR.
If the VSWR figures exceed approx. 3,5 the background first turns YELLOW, which is
an indication the Antenna Tuning and/or Impedance matching is not optimal.
The equipment is still operational if the background is YELLOW, but RF output may be
reduced due to poor Antenna tuning and/or due to poor cleaning of the Antenna
Insulators.
If the figure exceeds approx. 5,0 it is an indication the equipment then the
Antenna Tuning is not correct and/or problem with the Antenna or Antenna
Insulators.
5.3.5 Ambient Temp (C)

This window shows the temperature (Co) at the Exciter (temperature inside Transmitter
cabinet).
5.4 Operation from PC locally or via Internet (Single Site Mode)

When starting the PC program
• This in order to avoid possible unwanted change of configuration, which was set
during commissioning of the equipment, it is of importance to dedicate a separate

When activating “AUTO LEVEL” you switch ON the Transmitter and start an internal test
and adjustment. When activating you will see that the window “Pwr correction” first turns
YELLOW and becomes GRAY after finishing adjustment of the RF Power Output.
This is an operation which only may be needed when changing the frequency considerably
and/or if replacing the RF Amplifier. Typical value in the “Pwr correction” window is 35
to 40. With RF Amplifier Type JTM-30HPA or JTM-30HPA2 this function is not needed.
5.4.4 IDLE
When activating “IDLE” you switch ON the Transmitter, but without generating RF
input/output from the RF Amplifier. This knob is only to check that the Idle current setting
of the RF Power Output Transistors.
Typical reading in the “Current (A)” window is approx. 0,6 to 0.9.
5.4.5 STOP
When activating “STOP” you switch OFF the Transmitter.
5.4.6 READ
When activating “READ” you ask the Exciter to send updated information on configured
information to the PC.
5.4.7 BLOCK A/B

When activating “BLOCK A/B” you stop the operation on Transmitter in operation.
E.g. if Transmitter “A” is in operation and initiation “BLOCK A” you force the transmitter
to switch over to Transmitter “B”.
5.4.8 TRANSMITTER RESET

If the Transmitter in operation (A or B) stops operation and switches over the upper window
of “TRANSMITTER STATUS” turns RED and indicates Alarm.
If you want to reset the Transmitter, or Alarm status, activate “TRANSMITTER RESET”
and the Transmitter will be reset back to normal operation again.
5.5 Operation from PC locally or via Internet (Multi Site Mode)
For “Multi Site Mode” operation activate “Multi Site” block located on upper right PC window
and you will see ”Main Window” to the left and “Multi Site Window” to the right.

6. MAINTENANCE & FAULT FINDING
6.1 Cleaning Insulators

It is of utmost importance to clean the Antenna insulators, from time to time, free from
salty layer and/or dirt. Minimum once every month.
The most often reports related to problem with NDB Transmitters is due to bad insulation on the
Antenna Insulators
The reason is that oil and/or salty air covers the Insulators and you may get high voltage
flashover. It is of utmost importance that these Insulators are cleaned from time to time.
In more than 70-80 % of all cases where it has been reported poor coverage of the NDB
it is the Antenna itself or the installation around which causes the problem.
The voltage between the Antenna and ground is typical 20 to 30 kVolt.

If the voltage has flashed over one time only it is later difficult to clean the Insulators

Page 1(19)
properly again back to normal conditions.
After cleaning the Insulators check if the insulation is acceptable by using a 1000 V Megger.
Disconnect the wire to the antenna Insulator inside the Transmitter cabinet and
connect one side of the Megger to the Antenna Insulator, and the other to ground.
In dry weather it shall show NO leakage (Infinite resistance).
If measuring 50 MOHM or less it will cause problem with Tuning and coverage
of the radiation.
Replacing Insulator(s) with new ones is the best option.
After finishing Antenna insulation test reconnect the wire to the antenna Insulator inside
the Transmitter cabinet again.
6.2 Checking IP66 protection

To avoid water enter into the Transmitter cabinet it is of important to check that both handles on
the door of the cabinet is properly fastened and that the PG glands are properly filled with sealing
material to avoid water entering into the cabinet during using high pressure washer.
6.3 Vacuum cleaning inside Transmitter Cabinet

If you for some reason use a vacuum cleaner to take away dust inside the Transmitter cabinet
make sure that the DC supply to the cabinet is OFF before starting.
During vacuum cleaning inside the cabinet you may have moved some of the wires. It is therefore
recommended that you check if the tuning still is correct. (has low VSWR)
Activate and hold down switch marked “TUNE” on the PCU, set the Instrument switch to VSWR
and carefully adjust the handle on the Goniometer on the ATU Coil to minimum reading. Value
less than 20 is acceptable
If supplied with AUTO Tune capability it will adjust itself automatically.
After finishing this TUNING check make sure that both locks on the door of the Transmitter
cabinet are properly fastened again
6.4 Service and adjustments
6.4.1 General
If the equipment fails, for some reason, the service will be based on replacement of modules.
Repair of modules will have to be made at Tele Supply AS
There is no access to adjustments of the equipment other than operation of switches on the PCU
Board and operation from the PC.

Page 2(19)
6.4.2 Adjustment when replacing RF Exciter and/or RF Power Amplifier

NOTE !
Activation of TEST switches on the PCU inside the Transmitter, or activation “AUTO LEVEL”
on the PC, shall only be performed if replacing to a new Exciter or to new RF Power Amplifier.
1. Set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU board, to middle position (“I total DC current”)
2. Push and hold down MINIMUM 6 seconds SW3 (“TEST B”) on the PCU (activating
Transmit chain “B”) and check that the DC current on the instrument indicates approx.
65 (6,5Ampere). At the same time check that LEDs marked “B” and “CARRIER” are lit. If
Single Transmitter, only Transmit chain “B” is in operation.
3. Same test can be carried out from PC by activating “AUTO LEVEL” for Transmitter “B”
4. If Dual Transmitter push and hold down MINIMUM 6 seconds SW2 (“TEST A”) on the PCU
(activating Transmitter “A”) and check that the DC current indicate approx. 65 (6,5Ampere) and that
LED’s marked “A” and “CARRIER” are lit.
5. If Dual Transmitter version, Transmitter “A” is the Main Transmitter and Transmitter “B” is the
Reserve Transmitter.
6. Same test can be carried out from PC by activating “AUTO LEVEL” for Transmitter “A”
7. Set the Instrument switch SW1 on the PCU, to upper position (“RF Output”) and notice the meter
indicates approx. 60 when activating switches for “Test A” or “Test B” respectively.
8. The meter will indicate RF output (Carrier only) from the Transmitter(s) to internal Dummy load.
9. Set the Instrument switch SW1, on the PCU, to down position (“VSWR”) and notice the meter
indicates less than approx. 10 when activating switches SW2 “TEST A” and SW3 “TEST B”
respectively.
10. It indicates low reflected RF Power as the RF output from the RF Amplifiers now are connected to
the internal 50 ohms Dummy load (located under the PCU Board.)
11. Set the Instrument switch SW1, on the PCU, to middle position again (“I total DC current”) and
push and hold down switch SW4 (“IDLE”) and notice that you can hear a click (Relay activated).
The deflection on the instrument should now indicate approx. 15 (1,5 Ampere) (xx) indicating
correct Idle current operation of the Power Amplifier (without RF input/output).
(xx) For the older version of RF Power Amplifier (Model 3097) the Idle current shows approx. 3,5A
12. When releasing the (“IDLE”) switch the Transmitter switches OFF.
NOTE !!
Before replacing any module or parts switch OFF the DC supply to the Transmitter by
deactivating (push down) Fuse F1 inside the cabinet.
If you have a DUAL Transmitter version it is relatively easy to replace modules or Spare parts or
modules to see if the problem follows one of the modules.
Before starting faultfinding you firstly have to check as follows:

1. Are the Antenna and Ground connections properly fastened and OK
2. Is Transmitter supplied with 24V DC (se LED inside PCU)
3. Activate “TUNE” switch in the PCU and check on the instrument (when in position RF
Out) display minimum 40. If so it indicates that the Exciter and RF Amplifier is operating
4. If the instrument on PCU in position VSWR indicate high level it indicates that the
Exciter and RF Amplifier is working OK

Page 3(19)
5. If the instrument (in position VSWR) indicate no, or very low display, the problem may
be with the Exciter or the RF-Amplifier
6.4.3 Faultfinding if VSWR is high
If Dual transmitter press and hold down switch “TEST A” one (1) minute and observe the
instrument readings on the PCU. Following typical values should be displayed:
RF Out = 40 to 60, I Total = 50 -60 and VSWR less than 10 (typical 5).
If VSWR shows less than 10 and the RF Out indicates over 40 it indicates that both “Exciter A”
and “RF Power Amplifier A” are working OK.
If Single transmitter press and hold down switch “TEST B” one (1) minute and observe the
instrument readings on the PCU. Following typical values should be displayed:
RF Out = 40 to 60, I Total = 50 -60 and VSWR less than 10 (typical 5).
If VSWR shows less than 10 and the RF Out indicates over 40 it indicates that both “Exciter B”
and “RF Power Amplifier B” are working OK.
Trouble shouting must be concentrated to find the status around Impedance Matching
Transformer, Antenna Tuning Coil / 200 pF capacitor, the strapping on the coil/capacitor and all
wire connections from Matching Transformer to the Antenna Insulator.
If all of this is Ok the problem lays on the Tuning of the Antenna Tuning Coil, but most likely is
due to unacceptable Antenna, and especially one or several dirty Insulators.
Set the instrument in position RF Output and adjust the Goniometer to maximum deflection.
If supplied with AUTO Tune capability it will adjust is self automatically provided the left side
switch on the PCU is in position “Auto Tune ON”.
Follow the instruction for tuning of the equipment as described in document
“3. JTM-30C Commissioning”.
6.5 Faultfinding if no or very low reading on VSWR
If Dual transmitter press and hold down switch “TEST A” minimum six (6) seconds and observe
the instrument readings on the PCU, followed by press and hold down switch “TEST B” one (1)
minute and observe the instrument readings on the PCU.
It appears very strange if both transmitter systems indicate low VSWR.
NOTE! Make sure that you switch OFF the DC Supply (F1) before unplugging or
plugging in the Exciter again.
If problem with one transmitters system replace the Exciters.
6.5.1 Unable to locate problem

If you fail to find which module is causing the problem by operation on the PCU inside the Transmitter
Cabinet you need to use the dedicated PC connected the Transmitter to diagnostic further.
On the PC push “IDLE” and check if the “CURRENT” on the PC display indicate approx. 3,5 A
for Amplifier “HPA Model 3097” or approx.1A for Amplifier “JTM-30HPA”

Page 4(19)
 If so subject RF Amplifier is most likely OK.

 If no current is displayed the RF Amplifier is most likely defective
6.6 Technical Support
6.6.1 General
Exactly how to verify if the problem is related to an Exciter or to an RF Amplifier is often not
easy without having a second Exciter and/or a second RF Amplifier available.
For a DUAL version of JTM-30C it is very easy to swap the Exciter and see if the problem
relates to the Exciter or RF Amplifier.
NOTE! Make sure that you switch OFF the DC Supply (F1) before unplugging or
plugging in the Exciter again.
6.6.2 Technical support by using Tele Supply Quick Support
Technical support by using Tele Supply Quick Support (Team Viewer) is an excellent application.
If you need help from Tele Supply AS to clarify you may contact us on E-mail on
post@telesupply.no, or on telephone +47 63884399.
Prior to contacting us it is preferable that the PC used as PC for monitoring & control of NDB Transmitter
runs the program "Tele Supply Quick Support" in advance.
If this is not done you may still get support from us while on service on site by doing the
following:
1. Visit our Website www.telesupply.no when you use your own PC.
2. Enable / Run "Tele Supply Quick Support»
3. Inform User ID and Password to us (example: Your ID 680622835 and Password 4029)
by calling us and give this info.
4. Then we can go directly into your / their PC (which is associated with NDB equipment)
and direct control and check / monitor all the NDB transmitter parameter as if we were
there.
5. If your or customer PC also is equipped with microphone and speaker, we can from here
(Tele Supply AS) start your microphone with voice communication between us.
