I I I I I I I I I ~ Page 3 I I -OPERATING PRECAUTIONS fJCAUTION: This amplifier produces RF voltages that can cause painful and dangerous l RF burns. Use caution! Connect and disconnect all RF connections with the DC power and drive power off. I DRIVE POWER: RF power transistors, although quite rugged in most respects, are easily damaged by overdrive. Be careful no to overdrive this amplifier, even for Ian instant. Higher than rated drive power may destroy the transistor and VOID ANY WARRANTY. ITERMINATIONS: The efficiency of this amplifier will degrade if it is operated into anything but a 50 Ohm load. Lowered effeciency may mean any, or all, of the follow ing: lower power output, increased current drain, higher opearating tem- 1 perature, and reduced life time. 1 INSTAllATION ~ This unit is designed for mounting in a standard 19" rack. When picking a location in the rack, cosideration must be given to the RF power output cable lengths, as well as cooling consider- I ations. Mount the unit where dust and other debris are not likely to clog the cooling fins. Avoid mount- ling the amplifier directly above hot pieces of equipment that could artificially raise the amplifi- ers temperature. IConnect the radio tranmsitter to the "RF INPUT" connector with a 50 Ohm c.~ble ~nd a type , "N" plug. Connect the antenna to the "RF OUTPUT" connector on the amplifier with 50 Ohm coaxial cable and a type "N" plug. I Plug the AC line cord into the system AC power receptacle.1 For safety, ensure that the rack and all equipment connected to the amplifier have properAC grounds. Do not rely on coaxial cable shielding. Assure the installation has proper lightning protection (e.g. in line coaxial protectors manufactured by PolyPhaser Corporation or equiva-::1 lent).

IThese are 10-turn potentiometers VR1 through VR5 and switch SW1. Their functions are as follows: I Ref. Des. Function I Adjustment I VR1 Determines the threshold for a valid input RF power level. VR2 Low RF power output threshold set to determine the alarm level for the LPA I signal at the Remote Monitor connector. VR3 Sets the Forward Power Monitor (VFM) voltage at the Remote Monitor connector. I VR4 SWR threshold set to determine the alarm level for the SWR signal at the Remote Monitor connector. I VR5 Sets the RF output power level. I SW1 Determines the method of RF output power control. The TEST position provides regulated DC control. The OPER position provides RF feedback leveling control. I A basic understanding of RF principals is necessary before making any adjustments to the Iunit. This includes the knowledge of the relationship of forward and reflected power relative to SWR, etc. Adjustment also requires the familiarity and use of test equipment. If in doubt, consult your distributor, dealer or the manufacturer about changes. I I I I 'I " 1Page 6 I I I OPERATOR ADJUSTMENTS ~ Switch SW2, located inside the RF enclosure, is set according to the particular configuration of each amplifier. This switch is factory set at the time of manufacture and should not be I changed. Never turn on more than one switch at any time!

Place SW1 into the RUN position. I 2. Apply the minimum RF drive level and adjust VR5 for nominal output power. I 3. With nominal RF output, measure the voltage on pin 7 of the monitor connector (VFM) and adjust VR3 to obtain 5 volts I 4. Reduce input drive by 3 dB and adjust VR1 so the RFON signal at pin 6 of the monitor connector goes low I 5. Restore minimum drive and set the output power down 3 dB from nominal with VR5. Adjus…
