Models 705C-710C-715C AM Transmitters, 5000 to 15000 watts

GENERAL

Elcom •Bauer Models 705C-710C-715C make up a family of

medium-power AM transmitters over a nominal output power
range of 5000 watts to 15000 watts. 705C is offered with a stan-
dard power cutback to either 1000 watts or 500 watts; a 2500 watt
power cutback is available at a slight additional charge. 7100 and
7150 have a standard power cutback to 1 4 power for tuning and
/
testing.
705C, 7100 and 7150 are contained in dual-width cabinets; the
7150 also includes a high-voltage vault.

OSCILLATOR, RF DRIVER and AUDIO DRIVER

The master RF oscillator uses an ovenless crystal that operates
at four times carrier frequency for maximum stability. A solid state
amplifier is used to drive a highly efficient two-transistor RF stage,
operating Class D, which then feeds the final amplifier. The audio
driver section consists of a solid state, push-pull Class B audio
amplifier. Audio drive, RF drive and all tube plate voltages are
reduced for low power operation. All of the low level solid state
circuitry are located on individual plug-in printed circuit boards CARD CAGE
conveniently accessible from the front panel. PLUG-IN LOW LEVEL RF AND AUDIO DRIVER

diode-logic and relays, incorporates full overload protection. A

allows remote fault resetting while indicating where the fault METERING AND CONTROL

POWER AMPLIFIER and MODULATOR
The 705C RF power amplifier con-
sists of a single 4CX5000A tetrode
tube, while the 710C and 715C use a
single 4CX15000A tetrode tube. The
RF power amplifiers on all models are
operated Class C, and are plate
modulated.
The audio modulator for the 705C,
710C and 715C transmitters consists
of two type 4CX5000A tetrode tubes,
operated push-pull in Class AB-1. A
large oil-filled modulation transformer
is standard, as is vacuum capacitor
final output plate tuning. All models
are easily capable of 125% positive
modulation and can be used with the
latest audio processing systems.
This amplifier modulator system is
inherently stable and tolerant of
antenna system impedance variations.

FINAL CAVITY

POWER SUPPLY and CABINETS

Step-start high-voltage switching,
which allows the transmitter to cycle
through low power output before high
power output is energized, is standard
except on 408-volt primary systems.
(Contact the factory for details on
408-volt operation.)
Solid state rectification is used
exclusively in all transmitter power
supplies. All power supply compo-
nents are conservatively rated and
easily accessible through the rear
door of the power supply cabinet,
which is interlocked. Full-length, non-
interlocked front doors and side
panels, which may be removed if
necessary, are provided on the cabi-
nets along with interlocked rear doors
that remove primary voltage and bleed
down high voltage instantly. Grounded
shorting sticks are also provided as an
additional precaution.

reliability, efficiency, and low maintenance cost.
The transmitter is completely self-contained with
external RF harmonic filter and associated directional
coupler. It requires connection only to a primary power
source, audio input and monitoring equipment for
operation. The transmitter includes terminations for
interfacing to most standard wire or STL remote con-
trol systems.
Excellent specifications are insured by the 690 solid
state FM PLL exciter. Its output feeds type 4CX250B
tubes in the intermediate power amplifier (IPA) stage.
The IPA drives a ceramic zero bias triode tube,
