MANUALE INGLESE AMPLIFICATORE HVLA700AY REV.0

6

OPERATION

a) Turn ON the amplifier operating on the switch placed on the back of the amplifier; the green LED labeled

“POWER ON” placed on the frontal indicating the “stand-by” position of the amplifier will light.

b) Rotate the frontal switch labeled “FILTER BAND” so that the work band of the filter coincides with the band

in which you intend to operate; each band is marked with the lighting of the respective green LED placed on

the frontal.

c)  Rotate  the  frontal  switch  labeled  “STBY/OPERATE”  from  the  “stand-by”  position  of  the  amplifier  to  the

working position marked by the lighting of the green LED labeled “OPERATE” placed on the frontal.

d) At this point, the amplifier is ready for the use and, every time that you will go in transmission with the HF

apparatus, the green LED labeled “ON AIR” placed on the frontal will light.

To turn OFF the amplifier is sufficient to operate again on the switch.

ON THE DRIVE POWER

Premise  that  is  possible  to  operate  with  minimum  drive  power  levels,  it  is  recommended  to  adjust  the  drive

power in such a way as not to exceed the output power level, by emission mode, as indicated on page nr. 4 of

this manual.

ON THE FILTER BAND SWITCH “FILTER BAND”

In the case in which you select a wrong band, two situations can happen:

1) if the selected filter cut-off frequency (or correspondent band) is lower than the one of the transceiver, the

protection will immediately intervene;

2) if the selected filter cut-off frequency (or correspondent band) is higher than the one of the transceiver, the

protection  will  not  intervene  and  there  will  not  be  any  damage  to  the  amplifier,  but  you  will  have  an

emission full of unwanted harmonics contents.

NOTE: WHEN YOU ARE IN TRANSMISSION, DO NOT ABSOLUTELY OPERATE ON THE SWITCH.

ABOUT THE “AUX” POSITION OF THE FILTER BAND SWITCH

When the switch is in the “AUX” position, the filter band switching happens automatically according to the band

planned  on  the  transceiver;  for  this  end,  execute  the  necessary  connections  between  the  connector  labeled

“REMOTE” placed on the back of the amplifier and the proper plugs present on the transceiver.

NOTE:

refer to what is reported in the “APPENDIX” at the end of the manual.

NOTE:

when the amplifier is used in manual mode (no YAESU or ELECRAFT transceiver) to verify that, on the

“REMOTE” socket, there is nothing connected.
