GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Introduction The OM Power model OM2200 HF is a manual tuning, full legal limit amplifier, designed for heavy duty use on all short wave amateur bands from 1.8 to 29.7 MHz (including WARC bands) and all modes. It is equipped with one FU728F ceramic tetrode. This type of tube can generate output power up to 2700W.
1.2.3. Indicators There are couples of LED and bar graph indicators visible on the front panel to inform you about value of some parameters or operation status: Bar graph indicators Power output - 50 LED Reflected power – 20 LED Current at screen Ig2 –...
Before opening the upper lid of the amplifier make sure that power supply has been disconnected AT LEAST 5 minutes, allowing the electrolytic capacitors to discharge fully. Disconnect power cord from the outlet! Make sure that all screws holding the case together are properly in place and tightened before carrying the amplifier with the handles! The amplifier must be installed in such a way that free flow of hot air from the tube is allowed.

The -120V for the control grid is regulated with zener diodes 3.3. Safety Devices Control and monitoring circuits ensure control and safety during malfunctions of the PA. These are on the Control board, which is located on the chassis subpanel. INSTALLATION NOTE Read this chapter carefully prior you will start installation.
Rear view of the amplifier OM2200 HF AC SOCKET FUSES OUTPUT AUX. FAN CONTROL INPUT 4.3. Control Cable Control cable maintains TX / RX switching of the PA (TX GND). The cable is shielded. On the side of the power amplifier a CINCH-socket is used. On the side of your transceiver you have to use a socket suitable for this transceiver.
4.4. Mains Supply Be sure you got PA with properly terminated mains cables, corresponding with your power system’s outlet. If not, contact your dealer. In such a case you should make the necessary changes using a licensed electrician. Be sure that your power system is correctly wired and properly rated! To use adequately sized and connected grounding system is also very important.
Never try to change antenna output during a transmission to avoid warranty loss. NOTE When you decide to have a short operating break, place the amplifier in the standby mode rather than switch it off. 5.1. Operation Elements There is couple of operational elements accessible or visible on the front panel. BAND- Band selector switch TUNE -...
Bar graph – shows output power . RF OUTPUT Bar graph – shows reflected power from the antenna. REFLECTED POWER Maximum level is 350W otherwise amplifier switches to STANDBY mode. Bar graph – measures the current of the second grid from -20mA to +80mA.
