Page 7: General Information
Congratulations on purchasing one of the finest HF amplifiers in the world today. ACOM is pleased that you have chosen one of our products, and we will endeavor to provide you with the information and support you need to enjoy your purchase for many years. -
Page 8: Features
User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 1.4. Features Easy operation. The plate-load True Resistance Indicator (TRI) is an ACOM innovation that provides • quick and precise tuning, typically in less than 10 seconds. The auto-operate function will return the amplifier to the OPERATE mode automatically after each protection trip, saving time and avoiding manual switching. -
Page 9: Safety Considerations, Explicit Definitions
1.5. Safety Considerations, Explicit Definitions The ACOM 1010 HF Linear Amplifier is a Safety Class I unit. The grounding lead (yellow with 2 green stripes) of the power cable and the ground stud on the rear panel of the amplifier (marked GND) must be connected to the station’s grounding system for safe operation. - Page 10 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier PRECAUTIONS: D A N G E R ! H I G H V O L T A G E ! The amplifier works with high voltages up to 3000V, which are LETHAL! For your safety, pull the amplifier power plug out of the mains wall outlet and WAIT AT LEAST 30 minutes EACH TIME BEFORE you remove the cover of the amplifier.

Page 11: Installation
Note! Before you install your amplifier, thoroughly read this manual. First, carefully inspect the cardboard carton and its contents for physical damage. ACOM ships amplifiers in highly protected containers, but it cannot assure that mistreatment by shippers will not occur. -
Page 12: Amplifier Location Selection
User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 2.3. Amplifier Location Selection Position the amplifier near the place where it will be used. You will need an easy access to the command knobs and indicator's area, as well as to the rear panel cabling. - Page 13 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier Connect the station's grounding system to the wing-nut ground stud of the amplifier (on the rear panel, marked GND, see Figure 2-1 Connections Connect a suitable coaxial cable between the transceiver output to the amplifier (rear panel) RF INPUT SO-239 connector, using PL-259 connector.
- Page 14 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier W A R N I N G Before connecting the amplifier to your line (mains) supply, be sure that the line (mains) supply is correctly wired and is capable of providing the required current, i.e., up to 5A from 240V and 10A from 120V.

User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 3. POWER ON, CONTROLS AND INDICATORS D A N G E R Do not turn the amplifier on for at least 2 hours after unpacking it in the room where it will be used. - Page 16 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier The lower LED bar-graph will indicate reflected power up to 240W. The scale resolution is 30W. The OPER button alternatively switches between the operate and standby modes once the amplifier has completed its 150-second warm-up period (see Section 4.2 Changing Operate and Standby Modes...

Page 17: Operation
User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 4. OPERATION Operation of the amplifier is simplified through ACOM's innovative TRI tuning aid, Auto-Operate function, and automatic protection systems. To make full use of the amplifier's potential and to configure it to local conditions, the following information should be read carefully. -
Page 18: Rtty Mode
User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 4.3. RTTY Mode Select the RTTY mode to operate continuous-duty modes such as RTTY, SSTV or other data modes. The LED indicator above the RTTY button illuminates and the amplifier operating parameters are changed to reduce tube dissipation. - Page 19 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier The amplifier can operate safely as long as the REFLECTED POWER is LESS THAN 250W. Matching is assured for loads presenting a VSWR of up to 3:1. Nevertheless, for some loads and bands, matching is possible at even higher VSWR levels, but the drive power must be reduced to prevent the REFLECTED POWER from exceeding 250W.

Page 21: The Auto-Protection System
User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier The TRI indicator will not illuminate until at least 20W of forward power (output) is achieved. In the event successful matching cannot be accomplished, check the BAND switch position and antenna selection. Then check the antenna VSWR at the same drive frequency. - Page 22 User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier Fault information normally remains on the display for several seconds while the amplifier is in the standby mode. The auto-operate function will attempt to return the amplifier to the operate mode automatically. If the protection trips repeatedly, the user must attend to the cause of the trip, which is typically too much drive or antenna mismatch.

User's Manual | ACOM 1010 | HF Linear Amplifier 5. MAINTENANCE If no indicator glows upon switching the amplifier ON, the main fuse(s) may have blown (see Section Fuse Replacement 5.1. Cleaning W A R N I N G Do not use solvents for cleaning as they may be dangerous to you and damage amplifier surfaces and plastic components. -
