Page 10: Amplifier Operation
Amplifier Operation 1. Before turning on the unit, make sure the RF Input and Output connectors on the front panel are terminated with 50 Ohms system. 2. Turn on power from rear panel. Following message will display on LCD. Page 10 of 15 MANUAL_ACS-230-25W Rev. - Page 11 In normal condition following message will be displayed NOTE: Prior to turning the Front panel power switch ON, Please ensure that the RF output of the RF signal source connected to the Amplifier input is turned off or below -45dBm. When the unit turns on the ACS-230-50W system starts a self test.
- Page 12 3. Turn on Switch from the front panel as shown in picture. Upon successful completion of self test mode, LCD screen will display the Driver 1& 2 Current/Temperature, Module Current/Temperature and System Status. Please note that Pin, Pout, SWR and Gain will not be displayed until the amplifier sees an input of -45dBm.
