c) 

Spectrum Analyzer.   

d) 

Attenuator (60dB) 

e) 

Coupler (60 dB) 

 

2.) 

Connect the Equipment as shown in Figure 4-2, then proceed as follows: 

 
a) 

Adjust the signal generator to a CW center frequency of 300 kHz, for an 
indicated output of 1000 watts on the power meter. 

b) 

Using  the  spectrum  analyzer,  check  that  the  level  of  the  carrier 
harmonics is less than -22 dB with respect to the carrier while manually 
scanning the frequency band of 300 KHz to 35 MHz. An indicated power 
output of 1000W should be maintained during this operation. 

 
 
4.5     PACKAGING FOR RESHIPMENT 
 
In the event of the equipment being returned for servicing it should be packed in 
the original shipping carton and packing material. If this is not available, wrap the 
instrument  in  heavy  paper  or  plastic  and  place  in  a  rigid  outer  box  of  wood, 
fiberboard  or  very  strong  corrugated  cardboard.  Use  ample  soft  packing  to 
prevent  movement.  Provide  additional  support  for  projecting  parts  to  relieve 
these  of  unnecessary  shock.  Close  the  carton  securely  and  seal  with  durable 
tape. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling. 

 

 

 
Chapter 5 Safety: 
 

Do not attempt to operate this unit with any of the covers removed. 

High AC and 

DC voltages are present.

 The cover protects against electrical shock due to AC 

line  voltages,  high  DC  and  RF  fields.  Further  the  cover  provides  part  of  the 
cooling system design. Components, specifically on the RF driver board and PAs 
are  prone  to  over-heat  and  eventual  failure  if  the  unit  is  operated  without  the 
cover in place. 
 
Ensure that the load is connected to the output prior to connecting the RF input 
to  the  unit.  This  will  prevent  high  voltages  being  present  and  exposed  at  the 
output connector.  
 
Only use the AC cord provided or equivalent.  
 
Ensure that the mains outlet is properly grounded and the rack is grounded using 
the ground stud provided on the rear left bottom corner.
