4.1 Power
Requirements
The power amplifier requires a power source of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz capable
of delivering 3000 Watts. Turn off the front panel ‘ON/OFF’ switch
before
connecting the AC power source.
4.2 Earthing
Earthing is achieved simultaneously with connection of the AC power cord to a
properly grounded power source.
4.3 Load
Requirements
The power amplifier requires an output load, antenna, or dummy load with a 50-
Ohm nominal impedance.
CAUTION
Make this external load connection before applying power to the
equipment.
4.4 Cable
Connections
The AC power cable connection is made at the rear of the power amplifier via
the receptacle connector. RF connections for Input and Output are made at via
the front Type-N connectors.
