Harris Z16HD+

The Harris Z16HD+ is a Tri-Mode transmitter. It is designed be switched, on-the-fly, between Class C analog operation, linearized common amplifier or digital only modes.

The Harris Z16HD+ being offered is currently set up for analog operation at 10+ KW. An HD exciter, such as the Harris FlexStar™, will be required for HD Radio broadcast. It includes theDIGIT CD  FM exciter.

Z-HD transmitters are a linearized version of the Harris Z-CD solid-state transmitters.

RF Output Connector:

 3 1/8 Inch EIA, 50 ohms

Frequency Range: 87.5MHz to 108MHz programmable in 10kHz steps

Frequency Stability: ± 150 Hz, 0° to 50°C using high accuracy internal

(59.535MHz) TCXO. 10MHz input for synchronization to external (GPS) reference.

Automatic switching to internal oscillator if external reference fails.

Overall Efficiency: HD mode greater than or equal to 26% AC to RF, FM+HD

(common mode-20dB ratio) mode greater than or equal to 37% AC to RF, FM

(analog only) mode greater than or equal to 55% AC to RF. All figures are at model

specific nominal output power.

Harmonic / Spurious Suppression: Internal harmonic filter meets or exceeds all

FCC, IC, CE, CCIR and IEC215 requirements. Meets or exceeds standard NRSC-5A

emission limits in all modes.

VSWR: For load VSWR exceeding 1.5:1, nominal, transmitter automatically reduces

RF output as a function of load VSWR (proportional VSWR foldback). For an instantaneous

VSWR of 3:1 or greater, an automatic carrier interruption occurs to extinguish

possible arcing conditions in the output load.

Modulation Types: FM digitally synthesized direct to channel, HD digital direct to

channel, FM+HD digital direct to channel.

Operating Modes: “On-the-Fly” switching between FM only, HD only, FM+HD.

FM Modulation Capability: Greater than ± 300 kHz.

Asynchronous AM S/N Ratio: 55dB minimum below equivalent 100% amplitude

modulation by 400Hz using 75μs de-emphasis (no FM modulation present).

Synchronous AM S/N Ratio: 50dB minimum below equivalent 100% amplitude

modulation with 75μs de-emphasis and 400Hz high-pass filter (FM deviation +/-

75kHz by a 1kHz sine wave). Measured at wideband input.

AC Mains Requirement:

197 to 250V, 3-phase, 50 or 60Hz, 3-wire Closed Delta or WYE

RF Cabinet Size: 28.6” (72.6cm) W x 49.72” ( 126.3cm) D x 72” (183cm) H (with

fan and air filter assembly attached)

Harmonic/Low Pass Filter: Internal

Remote Control Connections: Barrier strip inside upper left sidewall (facing rear of

transmitter)

Additional Remote Control Connection: RS-232 on system controller supports

eCDI or WebRemote

AC Entrances: Through top or bottom surface of cabinet

Fuse/Breaker: Wall-mounted fused disconnect or breaker is customer-supplied item.

An RK5 class fuse such as the Bussman FRN-R(250V), FRS-R (600V) or LittleFuse FLNR

(250V), FLSR (600V) is recommended. If a circuit breaker is used it should have a trip

curve similar to that of the RK5 fuse trip curve

AC Power Factor: 3-phase: 0.95; 1-phase: 0.8
