OUTPUT ANTENNA CONNECTORS 
[ANT1] – [ANT4] 
(p. 6)
Accept a 50 

antenna with a PL-259 connector.

w

ACCESSORY SOCKET-1 [ACC-1]
ACCESSORY SOCKET-2 [ACC-2]
Enable connection to Icom exciters (transceivers).

- See the page at right for socket information.
- The [ACC-2] socket is connected in parallel with [ACC-1]

by default and can be used for connecting external
equipment such as the EX-627 

AUTOMATIC ANTENNA SE-

LECTOR

, etc. These sockets can be separated by the 

[EXCITER] switch. (

e

REMOTE CONTROLLER CABLE HOLE
[CONTROLLER] 
(p. 10)
Used for separation of the remote controller and lin-
ear amplifier.

r

ALC OUTPUT JACKS [ALC1]/[ALC2] (p. 11)
Connect to the ALC input jack of a non-Icom exciter
(transceiver).

- Control voltage: –10 to 0 V DC

t

SEND CONTROL JACKS [SEND1]/[SEND2]
(pgs. 8, 9)
Input terminals for transmit control. Go to ground
while transmitting.

- Max. control level: 5.0 V DC/0.1 A
- Ground level: –0.5 to 0.8 V DC

y

CI-V REMOTE CONTROL JACKS [REMOTE]
(pgs. 7–9)
Used for band control with an Icom CI-V exciter
(transceiver).

u

ALC LEVEL ADJUSTMENT POTS 
[ALC adj1]/[ALC adj2] 
(p. 11)
Adjust the ALC levels.

R

CAUTION!

DO NOT operate the IC-PW1 be-

fore adjusting the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots
properly. This may damage the final FETs.

i

CIRCUIT BEAKERS (p. 14)
Cut off the AC input when over current occurs.

- Circuit breaker capacity: 20 A (U.S.A. version)

15 A (Europe version)

o

GROUND TERMINAL (p. 6)
Connect this terminal to a ground to prevent electri-
cal shocks, TVI, BCI and other problems.
