Tube: a single 4CX1000A/8168 ceramic and metal radial beam tetrode with plate

dissipation of 1000W (forced air cooled, grid-driven), specifically designed for class AB1 RF
linear amplifiers.

7-3. Storage and Shipment

C A U T I O N

Should you need to transport the amplifier, use the original packing as
described below.

First, switch off the amplifier. Pull the mains plug out of the wall outlet. Disconnect all cables
from the rear panel of the amplifier (remove the ground connection the last). Finally, pack the
amplifier in its original carton.

a)

Storage environments: the amplifier can be kept packed in dry and ventilated unheated
premises without chemically active substances (acids, alkalis etc.) in the following
climatic environment:

-

Temperature range: -40 to +70 degs. Celsius;

-

Humidity: up to 75% @ +35 degs. Celsius.

b)

Shipping Size and Weight: W560mm x D560mm x H300mm, 29.5kg. (22 x 22 x II.8I

inches, 65 Lbs)

c)

Shipping environments: all types of transportation, including aircraft baggage section

up to 12 000 meters (40 000 ft.) above sea level.
