Removal from package and inspection
Carefully remove the KLV 2000 from its package and
check for damages on the linear.
Carefully move any control and switch to check they
are regularly working. In case any damages is found,
prepare a detailed report to be immediately sent to your
supplier. Keep the complete package to be re-used if
required. The original package must be used if the piece
has to be returned to a service centre.
Installation
The amplifier needs a lot of room all around so that air
can freely circulate, enabling a proper ventilation to all
components.Do not put, books, paper or any other
object on the top of KLV 2000, do not create any
obstruction to the back grill.
A limited and difficult ventilation can severely
damage the linear.
For details about the connections please refer to pic.
7.
The ALC input of the transceiver has to be connected
to the ALC output (4 pic. 2) of KLV 2000. The PTT
output of the transceiver has to be connected to the
PTT input (6 pic.2, seldom 5 pic. 2) of the linear. When
this connection is not used an internal circuit provides
the commuting signal. For a better control on
commuting it is any way advisable the usage of PTT
input.
Both the above mentioned connectors are of RCA type.
Use a short coaxial cable RG 58 A/U or RG 8 A/U type
for the interconnection of the output of the transceiver
to the RTX connector (7 pic. 2) of the KLV 2000. For
the ANT output (8 pic. 2) connection to the antenna
never use a thin cable such as RG 58, use only a cable
able to bear the output power, adequate cable are RG
8 A/U, RG 213 /U or equivalent.
The transceiver used to drive the KLV 2000 has to be
able to provide 100 W PEP to get the max output power
of the linear.
Network connection
The supply for the KLV 2000 already included with the
set, is able to work on network tension 100/110/120/
200/220/240 Vac 50/60 Hz. Before connecting the
network plug be assured that the tension is the correct
one as written on the sticker on the back (9 pic. 2).
To modify the working tension refer to Picture 8 or to
electric scheme.
The network fuse depends on the supply tension.
Its size is very important, for 100/110/120 Vac it as to
be of 20 A fast, for 200/220/240 Vac it has to be of 10 A
fast.
An inner delay circuit gives a limit to the pick of current
when switching on.
The KLV 2000 has to be connected to a plug of an
independent network, without any adaptor or different
devices that could cause heating of the connections,
so that they could be damaged. Conductor of the
network circuit does not have to be lower than 2,5 mm²
for 200/220/240 Vac tension or 10 AWG for 100/110/
120 Vac tension. If during the use of KLV 2000 a
considerable lowering of the lights placed in the same
room as the amplifier is noted, the network connector
has not a sufficient section to use safely the same.
Antenna
The KLV 2000 is designed to be used with antennas
featuring a load of 50 75
Ω
on the working frequency.
In case you are using an antenna with different features
the use of any impedance adaptor or of an impedance
matcher is advisable because they are able to bring
the impedance seen by the amplifier to its output within
the required limits. Remind that devices receiving from
the amplifier must bear its output power because when
they are not adequate irreparable damages can be
caused.
Earth
This amplifier has to be connected to the earth of the
radio station, using a cable with the proper section, not
longer that 3 m. The earth cable has to be connected
to the suitable back pin (2 pic. 2) verify that the earth of
the station is of the best quality, this will avoid problems
when receiving, will prevent the accumulation of static
charges and will avoid zones with high RF tension in
transmission on the metal parts that can be touched.
Attention !!!!
The use of the amplifier with a not
proper network tension creates
permanent damages The warranty
does not cover damages given by a
not proper supply or by a not proper
fuse.
