Quick Start Guide:
A more complete guide to the installation is featured later
1.
Connect the RTX input connector to transceiver with
50 Ohm patch cable
2.
Connect the ANT Output of the Amplifier to SWR
Bridge / Wattmeter (If required), and then the Antenna
(50 Ohm load Impedance)
3.
Connect the Amplifier DC power Cable to a suitable
13VDC (± 1V) Power Supply or Auto Battery. Pay at-
tention to the correct polarity
4.
Make sure that the amplifier is switched off
5.
Adjust the Transceivers RF output power to 25W
(35W max) if it is capable of more than 25W output
6.
Switch on the Amplifier and start operating
7.
Check that the antenna VSWR is acceptable with the
amplifier in use. Any large increase in VSWR indi-
cates that the Antenna is not suitable for the power
being used. Operation should be halted immediately
to avoid damage to the Amplifier / Radio / ATU etc.

    Installation: Front / Rear Panel Description Unpack the amplifier from it’s shipping carton and inspect for any signs of damage. The ampli- fier should be installed (either fixed or mobile installation), in a place that allows good ventila- tion and provides a suitable base to support it. Failure to allow for reasonable ventilation will Front Panel cause the amplifier to overheat and shutdown prematurely.

    35W is the maximum permissible input power to The KL503 HD is fitted with an RX preamp, that when activated can help to increase the re- the amplifier, but approximately 25W input should be sufficient to realise full output, and an ceived signal level.
  • Page 4 The amplifier should give full output with approximately 25W input. Excessive input power should be avoided and the amplifier should always be operated in a responsible manner. The KL503 HD features an input attenuator that may be used to reduce the output of the am- plifier if the drive radio does not have the facility to reduce its output power.
