Page 9: Installation
4.0 INSTALLATION 4.1 Connect your 4 and 6m TCVR to the Linear inputs using a short, 50 Ohm coaxial cable. 4.2 Connect your foot switch to the PTT RCA socket(red) on the rear panel , using a screened cable. Low current and voltage input, connect it to PC serial port PTT output circuit on case DIGI modes. -
Page 10: Troubleshooting
5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Malfunctions are mostly due to improper handling, overload or similar reason. 5.1 Do not use higher input power as stated in the specification(100W). The grid protector circuit will usually safe the power valves, but OVERLOAD alarm will appear regularly. This may happening often in SSB mode, especially in case of old transceivers, when the output power in SSB mode is not adjustable. - Page 11 5.6 ALWAYS THINK - SAFETY THIS LINEAR AMPLIFIER DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL CONTAINS VOLTAGE HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN LIFE AND SAFETY WHICH IS CAPABLE OF INFLICTING PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER OPERATE THE AMPLIFIER WITH THE TOP COVER REMOVED AND THE TOP COVER SAFETY SWITCH DEFEATED.
