III. Unpacking and Inspection
1. Carefully unpack the unit and inspect for any obvious signs of physical damage that might
have occurred during shipment. Notify the shipping agent of any damage immediately.
2. Check the outside of the unit for missing or loose mounting screws or broken parts.
3. If there is shipping damage or the unit fails to operate properly upon receipt, report
damage to the carrier and Comdel immediately.
CAUTION
: Breaking the seal or removing the warranty decal from this unit will void the
warranty. If internal damage is suspected, contact factory for assistance.
IV. Maintenance
The CPS-1001 is designed to run unattended for long periods of time. Should service be
required, the system is modularly designed for quick repair. The whole RF section could be
replaced in less than thirty minutes.
After a time, scale may build up on the inside of the cooling tubes. This could greatly reduce
the cooling capacity of the system. It is recommended that the system be flushed with a
descaling agent. A cleaning agent that does not damage copper, brass, stainless steel and nylon
tubing should be chosen.
V. Preparation for Use
A. Power Requirements
The CPS-1001 is designed to operate from a 208 VAC three phase line. The system will
function within specifications when line voltage fluctuates between 185 and 230 volts.
However, voltages over the recommended 208 VAC reduce the safety margins designed into
the system and should be avoided. Lower voltages impact power output and regulation. The
system draws a maximum of 8 amps per phase (at 208Vac line) when used to drive a load of 50
ohms. Under conditions of mismatch, the amplifier could draw slightly more current.
Nominal Input:
208 VAC, 3 Phase
50/60 Hz
8 Amps
This system utilizes 3 wire plus ground (no neutral) wiring.
B. Cooling Requirements
The CPS 1001 requires 6 liters/minute (1.5 gallons per minute) to cool sufficiently. The inlet
water pressure should not exceed 60PSI. Water temperature should not exceed 35
°
C, and
should not fall below a temperature where excess condensation could develop within the unit.
The ambient air temperature of the generator should not exceed 35
°
C. There should be
enough room over the top of the amplifier and along the sides to permit unobstructed airflow
through and around the unit.
