IMPORTANT: do not exceed the rated output power (2000W or 100% in Stand-by mode).
,
When setting output power with the equipment in normal operation (ON status), if the reflected power exceeds the
200W value, the system will release an alarm because of the excessive V.S.W.R. (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). In this
case check the antenna system to reduce as much as possible the reflected power.
,
Warning: operation without antenna, or with a faulty antenna, may cause degradation and possible destruction of the
R.F. power stage. Such failures are not covered by our standard warranty.
Step 11 - the previous images refer to the first switch on with the equipment in stand-by mode. In this condition power value is
in percentage and referred to a logarithmic scale – meaning, for example, that the setting
50
will be about ¾ of the rated power
level (1500W). When the equipment is normally working, the
SET For.Pow
value will be given in W. The forth row (
Dir
....Ref
) will also show the direct and reflected power levels in W.
