Amplifier description
The TESEQ CBA amplifier series is designed for laboratory use. The form factor
ranges from 3U, 4U & 6U bench top units up to rack mountable 10U amplifiers
consisting of a 7U power amplifier drawer and separate 3U power supply draw.
A CBA amplifier can be remotely controlled via the built in RS232, IEEE 488, USB or
Ethernet amplifier controller. Local control is via a front panel touch screen. This also
shows the amplifier status when controlled remotely.
A comprehensive performance and status indicating system is included. These
circuits monitor:
Interlock circuit status
Forward power indication
Reflected power indication
High VSWR indication
RF baseplate temperature
Ambient temperature
Power supply DC voltage
Power supply DC current
Overall status of the amplifier
Visual indications are given. If a fault is detected, the amplifier automatically reverts
into a latched STANDBY condition. It remains in this condition until the fault has been
cleared and the fault latch is reset via the front panel touch screen.
The design of the amplifier is subject to continuous improvement. Consequently, the
amplifier may incorporate minor changes in detail from the information contained in
this manual.
