Chapter-1: Detailed Pre-Installation Even though we believe the Omnia-6EX is the easiest processor to install in its class, please take a few minutes to read through this chapter before proceeding with the installation. This section offers common procedures for installing your new Omnia-6EX processor. Note that there are additional installation and operation tips presented in Chapter 4 that may pertain to your specific installation. About This Manual This <strong>manual</strong> is written to cover both the Omnia-6FM and the Omnia-6EX running software release version 6.2.0 or higher. If the optional HDFM features on your unit are not activated, simply disregard the sections that specifically cover HDFM channel features (such as the Look Ahead Limiter). These will be noted in parentheses after the section heading: (HD Mode Only). Similarly, sections that specifically cover conventional FM channel features will also be noted in parentheses after the section heading: (FM Mode Only) If you would like to purchase and activate the HDFM features in your Omnia-6FM unit, please contact your dealer or Telos / Omnia Customer support for instructions and the proper enabling code for your unit. Omnia-6EX Components By now, you’ve unpacked the shipping carton to gain access to this <strong>manual</strong>. Now is the time to inspect the Omnia- 6EXunit and its shipping carton for any signs of shipping damage, which must be reported to your carrier for any claims. The Omnia-6EX shipping box includes the following components: Omnia-6EX processor (containing the DSP hardware) Omnia-6EX PCMCIA Type Memory card (holding the DSP software) Omnia-6EX Operating Manual (this document) Warranty Registration Card (Please complete the form and return/FAX it to Telos/Omnia) Two IEC Power Cords, one for use in the US, and one for use in Europe PC Card & Optional Modem Installation Before installing your Omnia-6EX, or even plugging in the power cord, make sure the Omnia-6EX PC Memory Card and Optional Modem Card (if purchased) are installed into the correct card slots on the back panel and are fully seated. Installation or removal must be done with the power off unless directed otherwise. The PC Memory Card is inserted into the top card slot with the Omnia label facing up and the version number sticker facing down. The Optional Modem Card is inserted into the bottom card slot below the Omnia PC Card. Both the PC Card and the Modem Card are keyed to prevent improper insertion. Gently press the cards into the slots until the black release button, to the right of the card, pops out about 1/2” [12.70 mm]. This indicates the card is properly seated in the PCMCIA slot. Omnia-6ex Use and Operation Manual – V: 1.20 16
The Omnia-6EX also contains a third PC Memory Card slot that is used to load software for the Front Panel. The slot is located under the top cover on the right-hand side of the Front Panel circuit board and is normally unoccupied. Please do not insert or remove any PCMCIA cards from this slot without the direct assistance of Telos / Omnia customer support. Make sure the AC power is off and disconnected from the unit before removing the top cover and removing or replacing a card. Important Note 1: The PC Cards used in the Omnia-6EX are not generic PCMCIA cards that can be bought in any local computer store. They are cards that are specially qualified by Omnia specifically for this product. If you need a backup card, please contact Omnia Customer Support to purchase an additional card. Inserting a card of unknown origin risks damaging the Omnia, the cards, or both, and doing so will void your warranty! Important Note 2: If you wish to operate the Omnia-6EX using a PCMCIA type modem, you must use the available modem card from Omnia. Other modem cards are NOT qualified for use at this time. We cannot provide technical support for any other modem card. External modems are a different case. Typically, any external Hayes compatible modem may be connected to the rear-panel serial port. See Chapter 6 for more details on the Modem and the Remote Control Software. Note: The rear panel PCMCIA Memory Card must remain in the top slot unless you are prompted by the system to remove it. Randomly removing the PC Card without system instruction may cause unpredictable operation and PC Card data damage. AC Environment The Omnia-6EX subsystem is microcomputer-based. Therefore, it requires the same clean AC environment as any modern computer system does. Even though the Omnia-6 is equipped with quite robust internal AC input transient suppression, we recommend that external transient suppressers/voltage regulation or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be employed. This recommendation becomes even more important when installing the processor at a transmitter site, where there can be heavy transients on the power lines. These unwelcome events can be caused by anything from load switching to lightning strikes on a nearby tower. Therefore, we ask that you give your AC power environment and installation practices thorough consideration before plugging in your Omnia6-HDFM unit. Omnia-6ex Use and Operation Manual – V: 1.20 17
