INTRODUCTION

The Arcturus unit is an integral part of the Arcturus Antenna Site Management System, a complete, turnkey

solution for managing multiplexed TV and FM antenna sites. The system monitors key RF and environmental

parameters including forward power, VSWR, line pressure and temperature. Rapid activation of transmitter

interlocks in reaction to VSWR or reflected power faults removes RF energy from the combiner and antenna

system, minimizing the risk of loss or damage to combiners, transmission lines and antennas.

Arcturus hardware is based on ARC Plus technology proven in thousands of broadcast facilities. This high reliability

platform has been extended to provide the ultimate in fast, dependable fault detection. For stations using Burk

AutoPilot®, Arcturus data may be integrated with transmitter data and included in studio or NOC displays.

ARCTURUS

The core of the system is the Arcturus unit which provides onboard processing power and a built-in web server

for access via web browser (PC or mobile device). Connection to plant equipment is by means of one or more

Plus-X I/O units.

FRONT PANEL

ALARM LED

The Alarm LED indicates alarm activity. By default, the LED illuminates red when there is an

alarm at the

local site. It may instead be configured to illuminate when there is an alarm at any site in a connected ARC

Plus network (Click or turn to ALARMS for details). When no alarm is present, the LED is green, indicating

that power is on.

REMOTE LED

Indicates when link is lost or unit is in maintenance mode.

MAINTENANCE MODE PUSHBUTTON

Maintenance mode prohibits all commands. For safety, this can only be switched on or off locally.

REAR PANEL

MODEM/RS-232 (DB-9M)

Provides connection to an external dial-up modem or RS-232 link for optional AutoPilot monitoring and

control software.

SENSORS (RJ-25)

This jack is reserved for future one-wire sensors.

ETHERNET (RJ-45)

The Ethernet jack connects the Arcturus to the LAN/WAN for communications with the user as well as with

Plus-X I/O devices.

ALARM

The Form C alarm relay can be used to operate external equipment when an alarm condition

exists. The

relay may be configured to latch closed when there is an alarm at the local site or when there is an alarm

at any site in a connected ARC Plus network. A 3-pin connector block is included

with the Arcturus.

FAILSAFE

The Form C failsafe relay can be used to interrupt external equipment upon loss of communication with a

networked ARC Plus unit. The relay is latched closed when the network link is present.

POWER

Standard IEC power entry module. Connect to 100-240VAC, 47-63 Hz. Replace built-in fuse with same type

and value.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

There are no actual inputs or outputs on the Arcturus chassis. I/O is provided through a wide range of IP connected

Plus-X devices. In addition, virtual channels can be derived from a combination of existing channels, constants and

mathematical formulas. The SNMP Plus option enables direct control and monitoring of a wide variety of SNMP-

enabled devices. Up to 256 channels each of meters, statuses and command pairs can be configured on an

Arcturus.

PLUS-X ETHERNET I/O

The Plus-X line of Ethernet I/O devices offers a variety of channel configurations, making it possible to have a

combination of inputs and outputs that meets your needs without purchasing excess capacity. For a complete list

of Plus-X devices, visit: https://www.burk.com/products/Broadcast-1/Arcturus-99 .

Plus-X devices include:

➢Plus-X VSWR

➢Plus-X Integrated Input Unit

➢Plus-X Integrated Command Relay Unit

➢Plus-X 300

➢Plus-X 600

➢Plus-X EM Series Environmental Monitors

➢Plus-X AC-8

➢Plus-X IP-8 Adapter

➢Plus-X GSC Adapter

For specific information on installing and configuring your Plus-X accessories, refer to the manual for your product.

Manuals are available online at www.burk.com.

COMMUNICATIONS

AUTOLOAD PLUS SOFTWARE

AutoLoad Plus software provides PC-based configuration of the Arcturus system, including network settings, site

names, channel configuration, and network settings. With the exception of the initial IP address, all Arcturus setup

is accomplished via AutoLoad Plus, locally or remotely. (An IP connection is required.) Click or turn to USING

AUTOLOAD PLUS SOFTWARE.

AUTOPILOT® SOFTWARE

AutoPilot provides PC-based monitoring and control for the

Arcturus system. IP connectivity allows simultaneous

control of multiple sites, while optional dial-up modem

connectivity provides a means to access single sites from

outside the LAN. AutoPilot provides a customizable GUI,

logging and automatic report generation, network and

SNMP monitoring, and integration of remote security

cameras. AutoPilot instructions are covered in a separate

manual available at www.burk.com/downloads.

WEB-BASED MONITORING AND CONTROL

Arcturus includes a built-in web server for managing

remote sites via web browser. The web page is accessible

by entering the IP address or host name of the Arcturus in

your web

browser. For more on this feature, click or turn

to WEB PAGE.

The web server also provides connectivity to compatible

mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Click or

turn to SMARTPHONE WEB PAGE.
