MXD5U OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 

1. Modulator 

is 

Ready. 

•

 

Usually in the application of AC, the Modulator goes through its warm-up sequence. Ensure that it has 
done so. 

2.  CONTROLLER is ready. 

•

 

If there were prior faults (see front panel LED), clear them by pushing the RESET button. 

3.  INTERLOCKS are closed or OK. 

•

 

Interlocks and Status are OK. 

4.  The TX is OFF. 

•

 

Push the Front Panel ON/OFF button so that it is NOT pushed in.

Upon depressing the ON button the +28V power supply is switched on at the amplifier boards. 

Turning ON  the Amplifier 

5.  Push the front panel ON button. The Amplifier should now be ON, producing RF at the output. 

6.  The cooling fan turns on. 

7.  Monitor the +28V power supply voltage and current on the LCD screen. With the user interface program the 

power supply can be checked by observing the voltage and power supply status indicator. The voltage 
reading should be about 28V and the power supply status indicator should be green. 

ALLOW THE AMPLIFIER SOME WARM-UP TIME! 

Only after the transmitter has been ON for approximately 15 minutes should you perform fine adjustments. 
The amplifier must be allowed to reach its operating temperature for stable and consistent operation. The 
Power Amplifier in the transmitter is equipped with thermal compensation circuits, which reduce the output 
power when the temperature rises. Therefore, the operating temperature must be reached before adjusting 
the RF level to its proper level. The amplifier is also equipped with Automatic Gain Control, primarily designed 
to prevent the transmitter from overpower or overdrive condition. 

8.  Increase the RF output by slowly adjusting the Modulator or Translator output level control. Increase the 

power to 100%. At this time the proper warm-up period begins. 

9.  With the amplifier fully functional and adjusted to its final setting, record keeping becomes very important. 

Record the current, voltage, power, etc. This data can be used as a very valuable troubleshooting tool later. 
Below is typical test data pertaining to the amplifier at 100% output power.
