Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION About this manual CAUTION! This Operation Manual contains important information for the user of the amplifier. It details important safety information and hazards that can be encountered by the user, and recommends precautions that should be taken to prevent damage to the amplifier or associated equipment. -
Page 6: Safety
SAFETY General The amplifier described in this manual is designed to be used only by qualified personnel. Use of the amplifier in a manner not specified in this manual may impair the protection provided by the amplifier. Before use, inspect the amplifier for damage which may impair safety. -
Page 7: Safety Precautions
Safety precautions Observe all the following precautions to ensure personal safety and prevent damage to the amplifier or equipment connected to it. WARNING! Properly dispose of the amplifier. The RF amplifier modules in this equipment contain Beryllium Oxide, and other components contain PTFE. - Page 8 CAUTION! Avoid static discharges The RF input and output connections are static-sensitive and should not be subjected to static discharge. CAUTION! Use the correct line supply source It is essential that the amplifier operates from a line supply source that does not apply voltages and frequencies between the line supply conductors (or between either line supply conductor and ground) that are outside the range detailed in the specification sheet.
-
Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION General CAUTION! Exercise care when lifting. Amplifier models that are very heavy have a caution label on the top cover. Appropriate lifting practices should be observed during transportation, installation, or removal of the amplifier from its mounting position. When mounted in a rack, the amplifier must not be supported by the front panel fixing holes alone. -
Page 10: Connecting The Line Cord
Connecting the line cord CAUTION! It is essential that the amplifier operates from a line source that does not apply voltages and frequencies between the line conductors (or between either line conductor and ground) that are outside the range detailed in the specification sheet. -
Page 11: Protection Circuits
If you do not need this function, fit the supplied BNC shorting-link in place. Failure to do this will result in the amplifier latching in an “Interlock Open” status which switches the amplifier into standby mode. PROTECTION CIRCUITS Over Heat Protection The CBA RF components produce heat and are air cooled by fans. -
Page 12: Amplifier Operation
AMPLIFIER OPERATION CAUTION! Ensure that all the installation procedures detailed in Section 3 are complete before operating the amplifier. CAUTION! Ensure that before connecting or turning the RF source ON, the input-source peak output level is set to less than the maximum level detailed adjacent to the RF input connector(s). -
Page 13: Cooling Fan Operation
Cooling Fan Operation Once the amplifier has been turned on, the power supply fan will start along with the rear panel cooling fans. The CBA B series uses a forced air cooling system where air is drawn in to the front grill and exhausted out of the rear of the amplifier. Temperature sensitive fan circuits are used for optimal audible noise when the amplifier is in use. -

Once pressed the OPRT/STBY button will illuminate green. This will indicate the DC power supply has energised supplying voltage to the power modules and the amplifier is in, Operate mode (RF On) FLT/RST The Fault/Reset (FLT/RST) will illuminate red when a fault is detected. Once the fault is removed/fixed depressing the FLT/RST will clear the fault indication so that normal operation of the amplifier can... -

Page 16: Connections
CONNECTIONS General The CBA series has an RF In, RF Out and a built in dual directional coupler with N- Type forward and reflected connections. These are available in two configurations, either all on the front or all on the rear of the amplifier. The CBA series are equipped with either a N-Type or a 7/16 RF output connecter (model dependent, see applicable datasheet) but the same standard shall still apply;... -
Page 17: Rf Output N-Type Or 7/16 (Model Dependent)
RF output N-Type or 7/16 (Model Dependent) WARNING! High RF voltages can occur on the inner conductor of the RF-out connector, which could cause RF burns if touched. Do not expose the centre pin to static discharge. The nominal RF output impedance of the amplifier is 50 ohms, but it will safely drive a load with an input impedance other than 50 ohms (resistive or reactive), but will deliver less power. -

Page 24: Routine Maintenance
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE General cleaning For cleaning the front panel, use an anti-static foam cleaner and a soft lint-free cloth or tissue. Using abrasive materials or strong solvents may damage the surface finish or the front panel overlay. RF connectors If the RF connectors are used frequently, or left disconnected for long periods, there is a tendency for dirt and oxide deposits to build up. -
Page 25: Fault Finding
FAULT FINDING 10.1 General checks These are simple checks the user can perform to establish the cause of any amplifier malfunction. The following procedures are by no means comprehensive, and do not disclose any obscure fault with the amplifier or any system it may form a part of. Amplifier Won’t Power Up at Mains Switch on. -
Page 26: Fault Indications
Amplifier not responding to remote commands Ensure that the remote connector is mated properly. Ensure that the ‘REMOTE’ indicator is illuminated on the touch screen. If not, send a, “OPRT” command. Ensure that there is no damage to the remote connector or cable, especially around where the cable enters the connector. - Page 27 Ensure that for amplifier models with multiple line-input connectors, all connectors are connected to the line supply. Ensure that for models with more than one power supply, that all the rear panel circuit breakers are set to the ON position. Note: If the supply fault indicator is due to a high-temperature condition, cool the power-supply by leaving the amplifier in, “STANDBY”...
