GT-1000B Rear Panel Controls, Indicators, and Connections
Name
Function
RF In (the RF input is located on the
front panel in Option 04)
•
SMA (f) connector
•
Option 02: Type-N (f) connectors
Detector out (Option 01 only)
The output connector for the internal coupler/detector. This
output can be used for external ALC and power monitoring.
BNC (f) connector, nominal -1 Volt DC output at 10 Watts RF
out, and nominally -250 mV at 1 Watt RF out, into high
impedance.
Remote RF Off Input
Input connector of amplifier enable/disable remote control.
BNC (f) connector, open circuit = amplifier enabled (RF On),
short circuit to ground = amplifier disabled (RF Off). Open
circuit voltage is nom5 V. Short circuit current is less
than 10 mA.
AC Input and fuse
Provides the AC power input and over-current protection for
the amplifier. For fuse specifications at the AC voltage to be
used for the GT-1000B, see Table 13 on page 15.
NOTE:
Instructions for replacing the fuse are located on page 7.
