2.1 UNPACKING
Remove the TS-530s from its shipping container and
packing material and examine it for visible damage. If the
equipment has been damaged in shipment, notify the
transportation company immediately. Save the boxes and
packing material for future shipping or moving.
The following accessories should be included with the
tranceiver.

OPERATING LOCATION
As with any solid state electronic equipment, the TS-530s
should be kept from extremes of heat and humidity.
Choose an operating location that is dry and cool, and avoid
operating the transceiver in direct sunlight. Also, allow at
least 3 inches clearance between the back of the equipment
to any object. This space allows an adequate air flow from
the ventilating fan to keep the transceiver cool.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the radio in an RF Field greater than 6V RF.
Receiver damage may occur.
2.3 CABLING
(See Figure 2 - 1
.)
GROUND
To prevent electric shock, and reduce the poss~bil~ty of TVI
and BCI, connect the transceiver to a good earth ground
through as short and heavy lead as possible. Use ground
rods or metal cold water feedline.
NOTE:
A ground connection greater than 1/4
X
away from the
transceiver may be a good DC ground, but NOT an RF
ground.
ANTENNA
Connect through a 5 0 ohm antenna feedline to the coaxial
connector on the rear panel.
KEY
If CW operation is desired, connect a key to the KEY jack.
Use shielded line or coaxial cable.
W
POWER CONNECTIONS
Make sure the POWER switch on the front panel is turned
off, the stand-by switch is in the REC position, and the line
voltage is correct. Then connect the POWER cord to the line
source.
AC POWER
For fixed station operation, the TS-530s operates from
120V AC (U.S.A.) or 220V AC/250V AC (Europe). 50/60 Hz
power source capable of supplying 2 8 0 watts or more.
120V AC line model (U.S.A.)
A 6A fuse is used.
If you desire operation on 220V AC or 240V AC,
it
is
necessary t o change the power transformer connections
and the fuse.
See page 27.
220/240V AC line model (Europe)
This destination type is equipped with a voltage selector
switch on the rear panel.
A 4A fuse should be used.
Set the switch to your line voltage and use the correct
fuse.
NOTE:
The 220/240V AC model is preset t o 220V.
2.4 MICROPHONE
Attach the microphone connector to a suitable microphone,
as shown in Figure 2- 1. Be sure the microphone P l T switch
is separate from the microphone circuit, as shown. I t should
be noted that a microphone with a 3P plug using a common
ground terminal should not be used.
The microphone input is designed for 500R
--
50kU
microphones. The choice of microphone is important for
good speech quality. and .should be given serious
consideration. The crystal lattice filter in the transceiver
provides all the restriction necessary on audio response, and
further restriction in the microphone is not required. It is
more important to have a microphone with a smooth, flat
response throughout the speech range.
Follow the microphone manufacturer's instruct~ons for con-
necting the microphone cable to the plug. With many
microphones. the push-to-talk button must be pressed t o
make microphone audio available. For VOX operation. this
unwanted feature may be eliminated. if desired. by opening
the mtcrophone case and permanently connecting the
contacts which control the microphone audio.
