Quick Start
Thank you for purchasing this amplifier system. The ALS-706 is a 600 watt nominal PEP
output amplifier and power supply system. This amplifier covers 160 to 6 meters.
Nominal drive power is 100 watts or less. This system will not and does not operate on
the CB band.
The ALS-706 interfaces with most modern amateur radio transceivers, including band
data information. Band data connection will require purchasing an Ameritron interface
cable for your radio.
Carefully unpack this amplifier and power supply. Cabinets and controls can be broken,
bent, or dented with rough handling. Please inspect everything for physical shipping
damage; this includes cabinets and chassis. Ameritron does
not package dented or
damaged units. If your unit is damaged or dented, including broken knobs or switches, it
is always from handling somewhere between Ameritron and the end user. In the event
of cabinet damage or broken controls, please retain all packing materials and containers
so damage claims can be resolved.
Installation and Operation
Placement
WARNING: Do not block ventilation holes. Do not expose to moisture,
water, or external heat.
This unit is two components, a power supply and an amplifier section. The power
supply, within limits of cable length, may be placed out of the way. The amplifier section
should be in a convenient location within arm’s reach of the operating position. Do not
extend the amplifier power supply dc power cable.
Power Line or Mains Connections
Power Mains
1.) The system uses one of two power supplies available. The ALS-600SPS
switching power supply that can run on 95-130 VAC 50-400 Hz 15A and is well
regulated or the ALS-600PS unregulated choke input supply that can run on 100-
130 VAC 50-60 Hz 15A.
2.) The plug is a NEMA 5-15P, 120 VAC at 15 amperes. This is a standard USA
120V plug with a safety ground pin. Do not remove the ground pin.
3.) Do not operate with line voltage below 95 or above 135 volts when wired for 120
volts, or below 185 or above 260 volts when wired for 240 volts.
4.) Larger power wiring will not help performance or power unless amplifier high
voltage is unstable.
5.) The ALS-706 when using the ALS-600SPS exceeding the safe power supply
current on the supply line will force the overloaded supply into shutdown.
Shutdown is reset by turning the main power switch off for a brief time. If the
