BE CAREFUL! The linear amplifier will become hot when operating if continuously for long periods. BE CAREFUL! Set the transceiver’s (exciter’s) RF out- put power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the IC-PW1 will be damaged. During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear am- plifier, remote controller and microphone as far away... -

Page 8: Installation And Connections
Ferrite core installation The supplied ferrite core and cable clips (o and !0 in UNPACKING) should be attached to the AC cable of the IC-PW1 as illustrated below. This will help prevent interference such as TVI, etc. Attach and position... -
Page 9: Grounding
In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the linear amplifier and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner. The IC-PW1 has an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR continuously. q Slide the coupling ring down. Strip the cable jacket and soft solder. -
Page 10: System Interconnections
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS System interconnections 1 or 2 Icom 100 W HF transceivers can be connected as exciters to the IC-PW1. Non-Icom transceivers can be used, however, band selection will not be synchro- nized for each exciter. • Using 1 Icom exciter (transceiver) - Page 11 • Using 2 Icom exciters (transceivers) To an antenna ACC-1 REMOTE ACC-2 REMOTE IC-PW1 AC outlet (Non-Europe versions : 100–120/220–240 V Europe version • Using a non-Icom exciter (transceiver) Set the [EXCITER] switch to [1] when 1 exciter is con- nected;...

Page 13: Separating The Remote Controller
Separating the remote controller The control section of the linear amplifier can be sep- arated from the main body, doubling as a remote con- troller. It can be placed on the exciter or in another convenient place. q Disconnect the AC power cable. w Remove 8 screws from the sides of the linear am- plifier, then lift up the top cover. -
Page 14: Operation
- Select a band which uses a well-matched 50 tenna. (CPU resetting) If the controller’s power is supplied from non-Icom exciters or auxiliary power supply (p. 9), turn the exciter or auxiliary power supply ON while pushing [UP] and [DOWN] to reset the CPU. -

Page 16: Operation
Use the exciter’s antenna tuner to tune the line be- tween the IC-PW1 and exciter, if you have an an- tenna tuner connected to the exciter. i Transmit with the exciter and adjust the exciter’s output power to 50 W with the RF output power control on the exciter. -
