Installation

 

 

 

WARNING 

 

 

Never

  operate  the  tuner  with  its  cover  removed.    Contact  with  the  components  inside  the 

tuner while transmitting will result in painful RF burns. 

 

Locate the tuner so that the terminals are 

not accessible

 during operation.  The single wire 

connection may have high voltage while transmitting.

 

 

Disconnect

 all antennas from the tuner during lightning storms. 

 

Always

 tune with low power (2-10 watts).  Apply maximum power only after tuning up. 

 

Never

 exceed tuner specifications. 

 

Do 

not

 transmit with a high SWR for extended periods of time. 

 

 
1.  Place the tuner in a convenient location at the operating position using the mounting holes provided.  

With  a  random  wire,  the  WIRE  terminal  may  have  high  RF  voltages  present.    These  voltages  can 
cause serious RF burns if the terminal is touched when transmitting.  

Be sure to locate the tuner so 

this terminal cannot accidentally be contacted during operation.

 

2.  Install the MFJ-4117 Bias-Tee between the transmitter and the antenna.  Use a 50-ohm coaxial cable 

(such as RG-58) to connect the transmitter.   See Figure 1. 

3.  Connect the transmitter to the 

“RF IN/OUT”

 coaxial connector on the 

MFJ-4117 Bias-Tee

 using a 

50-ohm coaxial cable. (See Figure 1)  This is the RF signal input connector. 

4.  Connect  a  12-15  VDC  voltage  source  capable  of  supplying  at  least  750  milli-amps  to  the  “

DC 

IN\OUT” 

jack on the 

MFJ-4117 Bias-Tee.  

This is your DC voltage input connector. 

5.  Connect  the 

“RF/DC  OUT/IN” 

coaxial  connector  on  the 

MFJ-4117  Bias-Tee 

to  the 

TRANSMITTER 

connector on the 

MFJ-926B Intellituner

 using 50-ohm coaxial cable. The 

MFJ-

926B Intellituner

 will recover the RF and DC signals.  

6.  Connect  your  coax-fed  antenna  to  the 

ANTENNA

  connector  using  a  50-ohm  coaxial  cable,  or 

connect your random wire to the 

WIRE

 binding post. 

7.  Connect your ground connection to the 

GROUND

 post. 

8.  Key  your  transmitter  to  output  a  carrier  of  2-10  watts  CW,  FM  or  AM.    If  desired,  an  external 

SWR/Wattmeter can be used to verify a tuned SWR of 1.5 or less before increasing RF power. 

9.  You are ready to transmit. 

• 

If too much power is applied when tuning, tuning will cease and the tuner will go into the bypass 
mode.  This occurs when the forward power exceeds 75 watts and the SWR is greater than 3.0, or 
when the forward power exceeds 125 watts regardless of the SWR. 

• 

If more than 200 watts is applied to the tuner, the tuner will go into bypass mode. 

• 

Random  wire  and  coax  antennas  must  not  be  connected  simultaneously  to  the  WIRE  and  coax 
connectors on the tuner.   

 

 

 

Note:

  Route all random wire antennas safely to prevent RF burn hazard.
