C. Installation 

Requirements 

 

1.

 

This equipment must be installed in accordance with the applicable requirements of prEN50178 and 

EN60204-1 / IEC-204-1. 

2.

 

This equipment is qualified to operate at pollution degree II and installation category II. 

3.

 

This equipment is intended to be powered from a 208 VAC, 3 Phase source, no neutral connection used.  

For use at other voltages, a safety isolation transformer must be used to power this equipment in 

accordance with the requirements of EN60742 / IEC-742. 

4.

 

The installation of this equipment must assure that the AC power connector,  (UL/CSA) and line cord is 
not accessible to the user/operator.  Access may be gained only by a qualified service technician.  AC 

Mains connector installation to be in accordance with local requirements. 

5.

 

The unit provides appropriate protective separation between all interface, mains and output circuits in 

accordance with section 5.2.18 of prEN50178.  

6.

 

Connect a 50 ohm load to the RF output of the amplifier.  

 

NOTE:  Load and coaxial cable should have a minimum 1000 watt power handling capacity. 

7.

 

With circuit breaker "OFF" connect the power line to the unit. 

 

CAUTION:  There are no user serviceable parts inside this equipment.  Refer all service to a qualified service 

technician.

  Operating Instructions 

 

The CDX2000 may be operated either locally at the front panel or remotely through the two 15 pin subminiature D 
connector (P1 and P2) on the rear panel. 

 

A. Local 

Operation 

 

NOTE:  AC interlock Pins 11-12 must be connected to power up the unit and RF ENABLE Pins 4-9 must be 

connected for the unit to be operated.  These jumps must be made on both I/O connectors.

   

 

 

1.

 

Check to see that there is clearance around the unit for proper air flow and that a proper RF load is 

connected to each RF output connector at rear of unit. 

2.

 

Connect unit to 208VAC nominal, three phase and turn on main power breaker at rear of unit. 

3.

 

The CDX2000 should power up automatically (autostart enabled) when AC power is applied and the 

rear panel circuit breaker is in the ‘ON’ position.  If the LED at red pushbutton (AC OFF) marked 'O'  
is on solid either the AC power was shut off via the AC OFF button or the autostart feature is not 

enabled.  The autostart feature is enabled via a jumper (P8) on the interface assembly (FA0614RX) 

mounted behind the front panel display.  If  the AC OFF LED is off, then check AC line power.   

If LED is flashing then check RF output connector interlock switch, top cover interlock switch, or 

interlock loop, Pins 11 and 12 of rear panel connectors P1 and P2. 

4.

 

Push AC ON green pushbutton marked '|'.  The AC ON LED should be illuminated after the mains 

contactor closes. 

5.

 

The front panel display should show the model/frequency of the unit and the software version 

number for the first two seconds. The front panel display should show 'RM' for remote control.  A 

double-push (pressing the button twice within one second) of the mode button (>>) on the front 

panel will switch the generator to local control.  To switch back to remote operation double push the 

mode button (>>) again. 

6.

 

In remote mode the display shows the forward and reflected power of the HF side on top and the 

forward and reflected power of the LF side on the bottom.  The frequency of the LF side is displayed 

in the lower left corner.  In remote mode the LF generator is always in auto tune mode.  When the
