RFC-1 Installation page 3.1
Section 3 — Installation
Only qualified technical personnel should attempt to install the RFC-1 system. An attempt to
install this device by a person who is not technically qualified could result in a hazardous
condition to the installer or other personnel, and/or damage to the RFC-1 or other equipment.
Ensure that safety precautions are made before installing this device.
3.1 System Includes
The RFC-1 Remote Facilities Controller package contains these items:
• Remote Facilities Controller model RFC-1
• Rack mounted chassis
• Flat cable with two connectors, 3 ft long
• 12 VAC wall plug supply
• Modular telephone cable, 7 ft long
• Flat blade adjustment screwdriver
• Operation manual
All systems are fully tested before leaving the factory but damage may occur in transport. When the RFC-1 and RP-8
panels are unpacked, they should be inspected for obvious signs of mechanical damage or loose parts. Loose parts
should be tightened before installation. If damage is found, save the packing material and report it to the shipping
company and the dealer from which it was purchased. Do not install the system.
3.2 Installing the System
The RFC-1 is easy to install if you are careful, patient and alert. Installation is broken down into a series of logical
steps. Perhaps more importantly, you should have some previous engineering experience in a broadcast transmitter
environment. Having access to the building does not qualify you as an engineer. A transmitter can be extremely
unforgiving to stupid mistakes. We cannot protect you from yourself.
We want to make this point very clear: if you are unfamiliar with this type of equipment, please contact a properly
qualified engineer to handle installation and setup of this system.
