ATU Technote November07

This technical notification provides information about grounding the antenna for certain Thrane & Thrane antenna tuning units and radios. It confirms that the antenna will be grounded through the antenna coupler circuitry when the system is powered down to avoid static buildup. It also notes that the radios can be configured to inhibit transmission during cargo handling using a separate switch. Users are directed to technical manuals for details on power down sequences and configuration procedures. The notification is marked as low priority for information only.

Identification:

This is to confirm that an antenna connected to above mentioned Antenna


Tuning Units for the Thrane & Thrane produced system 5000 MF/HF radios
405150-THRxx / 405250-THRxx / 405500-THRxx, will be grounded in respect of
the electrical DC-path, through the antenna coupler circuitry, when the system is
powered down, thus avoiding build-up of static electricity on the antenna, and
that bleeder facilities is active during normal standby / receive mode limiting the
static voltage to a level not coursing flashovers etc.
To avoid transmission during cargo handling the radios can be configured to
have ‘TX inhibit enabled’ to block transmission by means of a separate switch
giving indication in the CU5100 display showing ‘Transmitter Inhibited’.

Action:

Power down sequence to ground the antenna is described in the user manual
TT-98-124350-THR-A, and the configuration procedures is described in the
