AN IMPORTANT  WORD ABOUT  POWER  LEVELS 

The  Z-100Plus  is  rated  at  125  watts  maximum  power  input 

at  most.

  Many  ham  transmitters  and 

transceivers,  and  virtually  all  amplifiers,  output  well  over  125  watts.  Power  levels  that  significantly 
exceed  specifications  will  definitely  damage  or  destroy  your  Z-100Plus.  If  your  tuner  fails  during 
overload,  it  could  also  damage  your  transmitter  or  transceiver.  Be  sure  to  observe  the  specified 
power limitations. 

 

IMPORTANT  SAFETY  WARNING 

Never  install  antennas  or  transmission  lines  over  or  near  power lines. You can be seriously 
injured  or  killed  if  any  part  of  the  antenna,  support  or  transmission  line  touches  a  power 
line.  Always  follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to the nearest power line should be 
at least twice the length  of the longest antenna,  transmission  line or support  dimension.
