1.6 GENERAL EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTIONS
The following paragraphs describe the units that make up the RF-5800H 125-Watt Communication System.
1.6.1 RF-5832H-PA
The RF-5832H-PA responds to control inputs from the RF-5800H-MP and is operator transparent. It requires
either a separate antenna coupler such as the RF-382A or a 50-ohm broadband antenna.
The RF-5832H-PA has the following features:
•
Frequency range of 1.6 MHz to 29.9999 MHz
•
Power output range of 10 watts PEP/average to 125 watts PEP/average into a 50 ohm load
•
Automatic control from the RF-5800H-MP
•
Integral power supply, control circuits, and harmonic filters
•
Power supply overload protection for the RF-5800H-MP
•
Operational status monitored via the control cable to the RF-5800H-MP
1.6.2 RF-5051PS
The RF-5051PS provides 24 Vdc at 30 amperes from 90 Vac to 300 Vac, 47 Hz to 400 Hz sources. It is typically
used for fixed station operation of RF-5800H 125-Watt Transceiver Systems. The RF-5051PS can be mounted in
an RF-5071VSM.
1.6.3 RF-382A (Optional)
The RF-382A is a 500 Watt PEP/250 watt average fast tune automatic antenna coupler. This unit automatically
matches the output of the RF-5832H-PA to a wide range of whip, dipole, and long-wire antennas over the full
operating range of the system. After an initial tuning cycle, the tune time of the RF-382A is 25 milliseconds. The
initial tune cycle time is typically less than one second.
1.6.4 Unit Identification
The units are identified by tags with the model (part) number and serial number.
