They are high power units and in various configurations cover the frequency range extending form Low Band VHF to 960 MHz. An HMS series RF power amplifier is a self contained unit which allows operation, metering, and remote monitoring of all parameters of an RF power amplifier. Its major components are: enclosure, front panel, rear panel, power amplifier, power supply, cooling fans, metering, control, and monitoring circuits. The entire assembly is designed to be installed in a nineteen inch rack. For operator convenience views of the front and rear of the amplifier are presented in the illustrations section of APPENDIX 1. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS MODEL: PA9096-350 FREQUENCY RANGE: 920-940 MHz POWER INPUT: 100 mW – 50 W (model dependent) NOMINAL POWER OUTPUT: 350 watts EIA DUTY CYCLE: 100% / Continuous. MODULATION MODE: FM. IN/OUT RF CONNECTORS: Type “N” – IN; 7/16 DIN - OUT OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: -20º to +50º Celsius. OPERATING VOLTAGE: 110 VAC Standard, 220 VAC Optional. HARMONICS and SPURIOUS EMISSION ATTENUATION: Meets or exceed FCC type acceptance requirements. CIRCUIT PROTECTION: Provided by the circuit breaker. REMOTE MONITORING: A DB-25 connector for remote access to metering and indicators is a standard feature on all HMS RF amplifiers (See Table 1). OPERATING HUMIDITY: 0%-85% RH (Non-condensing). STORAGE HUMIDITY: 0% -95% RH (Non-condensing). Page 2 CAUTION! Check the amplifier upon receipt for visible damage. If any is noticed, please call TPL at 800 HI POWER to request an RMA number (Return Material Authorization). If purchased through a dealer, ask them to follow this procedure for best results. EXPENSIVE COMPONENTS MAY BE DESTROYED IF THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED ON IN A DAMAGED CONDITION. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: This amplifier produces RF voltages that can cause painful and dangerous RF burns. Use caution! Connect and disconnect all RF connectors with the AC power and drive power off. 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 an instant. Higher than rated drive power may destroy the transistors and VOID ANY WARRANTY. TERMINATIONS: The parameters of this amplifier will degrade if it is operated into anything but a 50 Ohm load. That may mean any, or all, of the following; lower power output, increased current drain, higher operating temperature, lower efficiency and reduced lifetime. Page 3 INSTALLATION This unit is designed for mounting in a standard nineteen inch rack. When picking a location in the rack, considerations must be given to the lengths of the RF coaxial cable, as well as cooling. Mount the unit where dust and other debris are not likely to clog the cooling fans. Avoid mounting the amplifier directly above hot pieces of equipment that could artificially raise the amplifier temperature. Connect the radio transmitter to the “RF INPUT” N connector and an antenna to the “RF OUTPUT” 7/16 DIN connector on the amplifier. Use 50 Ohm coaxial cable with appropriate RF power rating. Plug the AC line cord into the system AC power receptacle. For safety, make sure the rack and all equipment connecting to the amplifier have proper AC grounds. Do not rely on coaxial cable shields for AC grounding. Assure the installation has proper lightning protection. MAINTENANCE There are two maintenance tasks to be performed on the TPL Communications HMS Series RF Amplifiers. These tasks are listed below. 1.) Perform regular inspections of the air intake and exhaust fans. Clean or clear any dust or debris that may have collected. This will prevent the amplifier from overheating. 2.) Every month record the data displayed on the HMS status display on the Front Panel Meter Reading Data Sheet in APPENDIX 1 of the HMS users manual. This will aid the technicians in servicing the amplifier should a problem develop. Page 4 METERING AND INDICATORS The following signals and voltages are indicated on the front panel HMS status meter, (a liquid crystal display). The parameters to be monitored are selectable via the front panel momentary contact toggle switch. The status meter has two lines of text. The top line indicates the parameter to be measured while the bottom line indicates the measured value and its units. Refer to the front panel drawing in the illustrations section for the location of the meter and switch. The following is a list of display positions and functions.
