Important Operation tips
1. IMPORTANT: install the supplied 4 rubber feet on bottom of case for proper cooling
2. Do not short the rear speaker jack
3. Do not cover rear or bottom ventilation holes. Proper air circulation throughout the ANAN is necessary to
prevent possible overheating and failure.
4. Calibrate power output to 100W using a suitable 50 ohm Dummy Load. Operating SSB/CW at higher
levels will damage the radio.
5. Data/AM/FM and other continuous duty modes must be operated at 30W or less to remain within the
operational limits of the ANAN
6. Input voltage must be 13.8 +/- 5%, well regulated at 25A and proper POLARITY must be observed.
7. DISCONNECT the Antenna during Thunderstorms or when not in use.
8. Please ensure that you select the correct model during software setup.
Heat Dissipation
Apache has stated that “The ANAN-200D uses the heavy duty Aluminum extruded housing to dissipate heat just
like most military equipment.
The design specifications for the ANAN-200D has been upgraded since the introduction of the ANAN-200D. The
“Hermes” Transceiver board has a small Switching Mode Power supply on-board the PCB. The SMPS provides a
convenient and efficient way to drop from the 13.8vdc supply voltage to the 3.3vdc needed by several of the
Integrated Circuit chips.
Ventilation holes in the bottom and back panel of the ANAN-200D must be clear of obstructions so
that the internal fan can circulate cooling air through the unit
.
The ANAN-200D should not be operated at greater than 30% of it's rated power when used for extended duty
cycles such as digital operation.
Clarification CCS [30W]/ICAS [100W] operation
AM/FM, CCS [Continuous Commercial Service] 30W
SSB, CW and all ICAS modes [Intermittent Commercial/Amateur Service] 100W PEP
The Power Amplifier MOSFET transistors have characteristics that far exceed the needs of normal Transceiver
operation. They are quite rugged. However, other internal components such as the Filters, Integrated Circuits,
and some small SMT parts must also be considered when modes with high duty cycles are in use.
There are
three voltage rails all of which have thermal shutdown protection built in.
