Page 19: General Information
1.2 Purpose of Equipment The purpose of the LPA-9600 is to amplify the low level RF output of a separate exciter to produce 1.0 kW peak envelope power (PEP) or average power. The LPA-9600 is microprocessor controlled and operates in the frequency range of 1.6 to 30 MHz.
Page 20: Specifications
The LPA-9600 is designed with an EMP environment in mind. All control and power lines into and out of the LPA-9600 are filtered. This filtering on the standard unit is adequate for a mild EMP. But for full EMP hardening, the optional EMP filter, which replaces the existing filter, is required. This filter is designed per approved EMP techniques and decouples every input and output line (except the antenna).

BEFORE operating the unit. The LPA-9600 1 kW Linear Solid State Power Amplifier is packed in a box using double wall construction. The packing material should be removed carefully and the contents inspected for physical damage. Any claims for shipping damage must be filed promptly with the transportation company.
Page 28: Returning Equipment To Factory
Allow free circulation of air around the cabinet, and at least six inches air space between the back of the unit and any wall or partition. The companion transceiver may be placed on top of the LPA-9600 for voice or CW modes of communications.
Page 29: Configurations
Another non-resonant antenna is the longwire. The two most popular length longwire antennas are 75 and 150 feet. Both of these antennas require an antenna coupler to match the antenna to the LPA-9600. Figure 2.6-4 is an illustration of a 75-foot longwire installation. Note that the feed line from the antenna to the coupler is part of the antenna’s length.

Page 47: Theory Of Operation
See Figure 5.8-2. The Control Panel Module is a plug-in panel arrangement on the front of the LPA-9600 which contains the meter, the LCD Assembly, and the 3 x 4 keyboard. The LCD Assembly A2A1 is used to display the power level selected, the diagnostic information, and the function selected to be displayed on the meter.
Page 48: Computer Assembly A3
Connector A3A1J2 interfaces to the Filter Module A5. Connector A3A1J3 connects to the Control Panel Module A2. Connector A3A1J4 interfaces with the transceiver/exciter and the antenna coupler. Connector A3A1J5 interfaces with the front panel of the LPA-9600 by transferring control signals to the front panel lights, the bypass relay, and overtemperature fan.
Page 49 A3A3U1 thru U7. If this VSWR FAULT signal goes high, A3A3U1 will reduce the power produced by the LPA-9600 from 1000 watts to 500 watts. If is still high, A3A3U1 will place LPA-9600 in BYPASS, protecting it from the excessive VSWR FAULT VSWR.
Page 50 Microprocessor A3A3U1 is alerted to the overcurrent condition by U15. Once the condition is verified, then A3A3U1 removes that amplifier from operation, reducing the output of the LPA-9600 from 1000 to 500 watts. Use or disclosure of information from this document is subject to the restrictions...
Page 51 LPA-9600. A3A3U1 monitors the output of U9C and if it goes high for longer than 50 ms, then A3A3U1 causes the LPA-9600 to go to BYPASS by shutting down the power amplifier assemblies, preventing them from damaging the filter module.
Page 52 The purpose of the Reflected Fault Detector is to warn Microprocessor A3A3U1 when a severe reflected fault condition is occurring in the LPA-9600. If the reflected power level reaches and exceeds 200 watts, U9D goes high. A3A3U1 checks the reflected fault condition indicated by the Reflected Fault Detector to insure that it actually exists, and if so, immediately places the LPA-9600 in BYPASS.
Page 53 . When the LPA-9600 detects this signal, it immediately selects BYPASS operation so VOLT TUNE ENABLE that the power being sent through the LPA-9600 to the CU-9150 is the power from the transceiver. The LPA- 9600 monitors signals, , and from the CU-9150.

DETECT FAULT REMOTE FAULT OUT LOCAL controlled by Q6. U5G receives a high anytime Microprocessor A3A3U1 wishes to operate the LPA-9600 in BYPASS. This causes the Bypass relay K18 in the A5 Filter Module to energize. 4.3.2.25 BITE BITS The LPA-9600 is capable of self-checking certain elements of its circuit operation.
Page 55 LPA-9600 4.3.3.2 Microprocessor U1 The Microprocessor U1 controls the functions of Microprocessor Board A3A3. U1 contains three major busses. The first bus is AD0 thru AD7, a multiplexed address/data bus containing either data or address information. The second bus is A8 thru A15 and always contains address information. The third bus is the...
Page 56 The Power Clear Circuit is necessary to initialize Microprocessor U1 when power is first applied to the LPA- 9600. The circuit provides a low on pin 36 of U1 for a time after the voltage is applied to the LPA-9600.
Page 57 LPA-9600 4.3.3.11 Watchdog Circuit Q1, U2B, U3B The purpose of the watchdog circuit is to monitor the actions of Microprocessor U1 as it processes programming code. If U1 fails to function properly, then the watchdog circuit will time out and reinitialize U1.
Page 58 The LPA-9600 will continue to operate at 500 watts if only one power amplifier module is affected, but will go to BYPASS if more than one fails.
Page 59: Rf/Ps Module A4
LPA-9600 4.3.3.21 Keyboard Input Buffers U16A-U16D, U18, U20A-D The purpose of the Keyboard Input Buffers is to provide Microprocessor U1 a means by which it can detect which key of the 3 x 4 keyboard is being pushed. U1 reads Column 1 thru 4 of the keyboard via U18 on the AD0 thru AD7 lines.
Page 60 LPA-9600 4.4.2.1 General The +48 VDC Switching Power Supply is of the pulse-width modulating type, employing high efficiency and small size. The AC input is converted to high voltage DC (Input Section). The DC drives a half-bridge inverter operating at 50 kHz (Inverter Section).
Page 61: Power Amplifier Assembly A4A3
See Figure 4.11-4 and Figure 5.8-8 The four Power Amplifier (PA) assemblies A4A3 contain the solid state power amplifiers which produce the approximate 13 dB power gain of the LPA-9600. See Figure 4.11-4 for the block diagram of one PA assembly.
Page 62: Filter Module A5
LPA-9600 T2 combines the two 100 ohm amplifier outputs into a single 50 ohm module output which delivers a nominal output power of 300 watts. This output combiner has properties similar to the input splitter. Each amplifier output is presented a load impedance of 100 ohms, regardless of the condition of the other output. In the event that one amplifier is delivering more output power than the other, half of the power imbalance is dissipated in the combiner dump resistor R40, and the other half appears as additional module output power.
Page 63: Mother Board Assembly A5A10
500 watts and continues to operate. The Output Power Combiner is located on the rear screen panel of the amplifier in the cooling airstream to transfer the dissipated power into the air and out of the LPA-9600. NOTE: You cannot physically leave an RF/PS module out of the LPA-9600 and have the LPA-9600 operate.

Page 74: Table 5.4-1: Fault Messages
The output voltage from this +48V Power Supply A4A2 is low or missing. Solution: 1. Remove LPA-9600 bottom cover and disconnect +48 volts input from the indicated A4 Module. 2. Reset LPA-9600 controls and observe LCD display. 3. If fault message is not displayed, then the trouble lies in the A4 Module. Follow the RF/PS Module A4 fault isolation procedure in paragraph 5.5.1.
Page 75 The Power Supply current drain on this A4 Module has exceeded 17.5 amperes. Solution: 1. Remove LPA-9600 bottom cover and interchange output coax connections between the affected A4 Module and an operational module. 2. Reset LPA-9600 controls and attempt to transmit.
