DO NOT connect power to the unit yet! 

 

1.

 

Unpack and Inspect. 

 

If you note obvious physical damage, contact the carrier immediately to make a damage 
claim.  
 

2.

 

Check the line voltage, fuse and power cord. 

 

Install the proper 4-A-250V Slow-Blow for 115V, or 2-A-250V for 230V in the fuse holder. 

 

3.

 

Set the HPSA V2 in place. 

 

Do not mount the unit over large heat-producing devices (such as a vacuum-tube power 
amplifier) may shorten component life and is not recommended. Ambient temperature 
should not exceed 45C/113F when equipment is powered. Equipment life will be 
extended if the unit is mounted away from sources of vibration, such as large blowers 
and is operated as cool as possible. 

 

4.

 

Power Ground 

 
Make sure the HPSA V2 chassis is well grounded through the third wire in the 
power cord. Proper grounding techniques never leave equipment chassis 
unconnected to power / earth ground. A proper power ground is essential for 
safe operation.  
 

5.

 

Earth Ground 

 

Connect the GND (ground) terminal to a solid earth ground

 

by a wide copper strap wire 

which is ineffective at RF frequencies because of the wire’s self-inductance. There 
should be a good ground connection between the GND terminal and earth ground. 
Check this with an ohmmeter to verify that the resistance is less than 0.5Ω between the 
HPSA V2 chassis and the ground source. 

 

 

All equipment circuit grounds must be connected to each other; all equipment 
chassis grounds must be connected together. 
 

 

In a low RF field, cable shields should be connected at one end only — preferably 
the source (output) end.
