  • Page 4 Installation: Typical Harmonic Output Unpack the amplifier from it’s shipping carton and inspect for any signs of damage. The amplifier should be installed (either fixed or mobile installation), in a place that allows good ventilation and provides a suitable base to support it. Failure to allow for reasonable ventilation will cause the amplifier to overheat and damage may occur.
  • Page 5 The installation location must also provide a suitable ground system both for RF and the AC power supply, (if used). This is very important safety requirement for any radio trans- mission equipment but as power increases becomes increasingly important. A good RF ground will also help to prevent any returned RF from causing problems with the equip- ment.
  • Page 6 The amplifier should give full output with approximately 4-5W input. Excessive input The KL503 is designed to work into a 50 ohms resistive load and any antenna outside of power should be avoided and the amplifier should always be operated in a responsible this requirement must use an antenna tuning unit between the output of the amplifier and manner.
