2.3 LOCAL OPERATION
2.3.1 Power-up Sequence
1. Connect the input signal to the unit’s RF INPUT connector. The input signal level should be 0dBm
maximum.
2. Connect the load to the unit’s RF OUTPUT connector.
3. Set the REMOTE/LOCAL switch to LOCAL.
4. Check to see that the MAIN POWER switch on the unit’s rear panel is set to the 1 (on) position.
5. Press the POWER switch: the front panel vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) should read POWER ON ,
when power is applied.
NOTE: The amplifier changes state each time the POWER switch is depressed—if the unit is on when
the POWER switch is depressed, it will turn off; if the unit is off when the POWER switch is
depressed, it will turn on.
6. Adjust the amplifier’s gain by rotating the GAIN knob. NOTE: The amplifier requires 30 minutes of
warm-up time to avoid any gain or power drift.
