IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING - GROUNDING
Have in mind that the grounding system may have to withstand currents over 20A with
insignificant voltage drop on it. Thereforeit may be necessary for your to improve it considerably.
The grounding leads should be at least 8mm
2
(AWG 8 or SWG 10) or braid size of ¾ to 1 inch
CAUTION
If this is the first time you have used a high power amplifier in your station, pay attention to the
coaxial cable type from the amplifier output. It must handle the increased power safely –
particularly on the higher frequency bands. We recommend you use RG213, LMR400 or better
coaxial cable. Similar good quality coaxial cable should be used throughout your antenna
system. Check the power capability of the antenna selector, the matcher, and the antenna itself
(especially multiband trap antennas)
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
This amplifier works with very high voltages up to 3300V, which is LETHAL ! For your safety
remove the power plugs and WAIT AT LEAST 30 minutes EACH TIME BEFORE you remove the
cover of the amplifier. Do not touch any part inside while the amplifier is open as some residual
voltages may still be present.
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
Never allow anyone, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN , to push anything into the holes in the case – this
will cause electric shock. NEVER TOUCH AN ANTENNA during transmission – this may result
in an electric shock or burn. NEVER EXPOSE the amplifier to rain, snow, or any liquids. AVOID
placing the amplifier in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight..
WARNING
DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIRE INTAKE (real panel) and EXHAUST (top cover, left rear) areas of the
amplifier. Keep a minimum distance of 10cm (4 inches) to the intake and 50cm (20 inches) to the
exhaust Do not undertake repairs, changes to hardware or software of the amplifier in order not
to endanger your or others health and life and not to damage the amplifier and the equipment
connected with it. Any such repair, change or modification will void the warranty. The
manufacture is not liable for theaction of another and responsibility shall be assumed by the
owner.
This amplifier contains very high voltage circuits . Never turn the amplifier on without
the upper lid in place. This high voltage is lethal!!!.
TheHF2013DX-A amplifier must not be used in a wet or humid environment nor to be
exposed to rainfall.
The amplifier must be installed so that free flow hot air from the tube is unrestricted.
Do not install the amplifier in an area that could constrain airflow.
