2 - Installation The mains cable is connected to a single phase network (16A min + 2.1 Mains supply cable neutral + ground). The typical current measured when the amplifier is in RF ON mode (amplification is active) is : 110 Vac : = 3.7 Amps AC 230 Vac : = 1.8 Amps AC Use a plug with minimum rating of 16 A min.

"POWER" Push the mains switch after following the instructions presented in § 2.7. Switch on For the operator safety, do not connect or disconnect the load when the amplifier delivers the RF signal. When the amplifier is on the “RF ON” mode and during any change of input signal conditions, special care must be taken against transient and spurious signals generation.
