Revision D
Initial Turn On
The Initial Turn On procedure has three parts:
•
Prepower Check.
•
Turn On.
•
Turn Off.
This procedure should be followed to ensure proper operation of
the amplifier and to avoid permanent damage to the amplifier.
Caution
Ensure that all of the following instructions are followed. Failure
to comply could result in permanent damage to the amplifier.
Vorsicht
Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle folgenden Anweisungen befolgt
werden.
Nichtbeachtung kann bleibende Schäden am Verstärker
verursachen.
Prepower Check
1. The prime power voltage is within the specified limits of the
amplifier. The correct power input connector pins must be used,
dependent on voltage level and the prime power source. Refer to
the appendix titled
Mechanical Drawings
for connector pin outs.
2. The amplifier is installed within an enclosure. The exhaust air from
the amplifier should be ducted to the outside of the cabinet so that
the warm air is not recirculated into the amplifier's air intake.
3. The RF output is terminated with a load capable of dissipating the
power of your unit. This load should have a maximum VSWR of
1.5:1. The RF drive signal is within the frequency range of the
amplifier's specification. Refer to the appendix titled
Specifications
for rated power gain.
Caution
Do not exceed the RF input power limit as defined in the
product specification. Doing so will cause the SSPA to
overheat. Failure to comply could result in permanent damage
to the SSPA.
