3.  Connect a cable from the 4 way socket marked PA and short between pins 1 and 2. 

This will cause the amplifier to go to standby mode.  NOTE this connection is 
normally used to signal the status of the power amplifier to a remote controller. 

 

2.3  Connectors 

 
2.3.1  Input 

A BNC connector is provided on the front panel and at the back, an SMA connector is 
available.  To use the SMA connector, remove the link across the back of the unit and apply 
the signal to the right hand SMA as shown in fig.2 
 
Fig 2   RF1100 Rear panel 

 

 
2.3.2  Output  
 
The output from the amplifier is taken from the front panel N type connector.  Connect this 
socket to an RF load.  Never leave this socket unconnected when the amplifier is in use. 
 

Never disconnect the load from the amplifier during 

 

operation. Exposure to RF energy could lead to 

 

serious health problems.
