UNPACKING

 

Carefully remove your VHF-1200/VHF-2000 Amplifier from its shipping carton making 

sure there is no damage evident from shipping. If there is any damage, notify the delivering 
shipper immediately, fully describing the damage. 

The HV power transformer was shipped separately, as its weight would damage the cabinet 

in transit. 

The 3CPX800A7 tube(s) are packed inside the cabinet in the area where the transformer 

will be installed. 

Do not destroy the packing material since it may be reusable later, should you require fac-

tory service or need to transport the Amplifier for any other reason.

 

 

TRANSFORMER INSTALLATION

 

See the illustrated procedure on page 7 to complete installation. 
 

TUBE INSTALLATION

 

Carefully remove the 3CPX800A7 tube(s) from the shipping carton. This carton was located 

in the area where the transformer was installed. Place the tubes in the tube socket with the 
proper pin alignment. If you have maintained the proper pin alignment, the tubes should go into 
their sockets easily. If you have to use undue force to insert the tubes, you may have the wrong 
pin alignment or one or more of the pins may be bent. If necessary, carefully straighten pins 
with needle nose pliers and reinstall. Install the anode straps on the tube caps as shown and re-
place the top and bottom covers. The unit is now ready for operation. 

 

200/234 VAC Operation

 

The Commander VHF-1200 and VHF 2000 come factory wired for 234 VAC operation. For 

best operation, you should use a dedicated 234 VAC main capable of supplying 20 Amps of 
peak AC current. 

Commander Amplifiers manufactured for export are wired for 234 VAC or 200 VAC de-

pending on the final destination.
