200 WATT BAND II VHF FM POWER AMPLIFIER

 

 

 

 

 

6. MAINTENANCE 
 

The  only  maintenance  the  amplifier  needs  is  some  periodic  cleaning.  Following  a 
number  of  weeks  of  continuous  24/7  use  (specified  below),  the  amplifier  should  be 
shut down and disconnected. A technician or engineer needs to take of the top lid by 
removing the 6 self tapper screws, 2 on the top edge on each side and 2 on the top 
edge at the back. Using a soft new and clean paint brush with a vacuum clean hose 
the  dust  should  be  gently  brushed  and  sucked  away  from  all  areas  inside.  Pay 
particular attention to the actual fans at the rear and the fan vents at front and rear. 
 
The number of weeks when cleaning should be done. 
 
4 weeks in very dusty, sandy and salty environments for installations near to the sea. 
6 weeks in very dusty and sandy environments. 
8 weeks in very dusty environments, public areas, office blocks etc. 
12 weeks in generally clean environments. 
 

 

Do not adjust any factory set internal controls

 

 

 
Under  NO  CIRCUMSTANCES  should  any  adjustments  be  made  to  the  internal 
controls.  Such  adjustments  could  damage  the  unit  and  invalidate  the  warranty  and 
also cause serious interference to other users of the electromagnetic spectrum.
