Nautel ATU-HP Tuning Procedure Download Page 4

R tuning procedure - use the R TUNING 
LEDs and the REFLECTED PWR 
indication of test meter M1 as a guide.

10

In Local Control press R TUNING 
INCREASE or DECREASE switch 
to minimise REFLECTED PWR on 
test meter.

Variable matching transformer shown 
in optimum (centered) position when R 
TUNING NORMAL LED turns ON.

Moving coil goes in to INCREASE 
the ATU’s input resistance.

11

The input and output taps on transformer T1 controls the final “tuned” position of the variable matching 
transformer.  If necessary change the input (green) and output (red) tap positions to center its tuned position 
between the MAX and MIN limits.  Choose a higher resistance position to move toward the MIN limit.  

12

Ensure that the ATU is left in the REMOTE Control position (LOCAL/REMOTE LED OFF) on completion of this 
adjustment process.

The termination points for 
the T1 INPUT (green) and 
T1 OUTPUT (red) wires can 
be on either of T1’s terminal 
blocks.
