General:
The 9780 is a programmable 10W FSK power line carrier
system which fully complies with ANSI C93.5. The
standard Tx/Rx system is packaged in a single 3U high
chassis and includes full-feature transmitter and receiver
sections. The unit may optionally be equipped with a
hybrid, SOE module, and redundant supply in the same
chassis. External amplifiers can be used to boost the out-
put power if required.
Dimensions: 19” x 5.25” x 15.25”
Supply voltage: 48/125 Vdc (38 to 150 Vdc, 85W)
250 Vdc (200 to 300 Vdc, 85W)
Weight: Approximately 18 lbs.
Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C
Humidity: 0 to 95% non-condensing
Dielectric and surge withstand: Per ANSI C93.5
ESD Protection: per IEEE PC37.90.3, Draft A, 1-8-99
Transmitter:
The transmitter is a fully programmable three-frequency
Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) generator followed by a
10 W power amplifier and filter. The unit may be
configured for 1W/1W, 1W/10W, or 10W/10W operation
(for a two-frequency system, three-frequency systems
have additional modes).
Number of frequency presets: 3
Frequency step size: 10 Hz
Frequency setting method: Direct reading rotary
switches
Rated output power: 10 Watts rms
Output impedance: 50 Ohms
(with load-matching adjustment)
Receiver: The receive circuit consists of an input
normalizer, programmable frequency detector, and
carrier level indicator.
Receiver sensitivity: 5 mVrms
Maximum receive level: >25 Vrms

Range: ±10dB
External meter output: 0 to 100 µAmp or ±1Volt, jumper

Receiver Logic Functions:
The FSK’s received signals are sent into a user
configurable logic module which processes the infor-
mation. Each of the individual timers and signal
qualifiers may be independently disabled or set to a
desired value (in mSec) see table 2.
