755c-6 : 200MHz, 6.5W output, +24Vdc supply Figure 2 is a block diagram of 750c series driver. The center frequency of the driver is determined by the free-running quartz-crystal oscillator. This frequency accuracy and stability are better than 25ppm; the oscillator is not temperature stabilized.

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER MAY ALSO RESULT IF THE RF OUTPUT CONNECTOR IS OPERATED OPEN-CIRCUITED OR SHORT-CIRCUITED. All 750c series drivers require a stable d-c power for operation. The required voltage is +24 / 28Vdc at a current drain of approximately 470mA EXCEPT model 750c-L. This lower power driver operates from 15Vdc.
ISOMET INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT Install the Driver on a heat sink as shown in figure 1. Use heat conducting compound between the Driver and mounting face and the heat sink. With no d-c power applied, connect the positive (+) DC to the center terminal of the feed-thru terminal as shown in figure 1.

ISOMET If fitted, remove the PWR ADJ snap-in plugs from the driver case (see fig 1). The PWR ADJ pot is a multi-turn type. Minimum power is when fully anti-clockwise (CCW). With an insulated alignment tool or screwdriver: Rotate the PWR ADJ potentiometer CCW at least 11 turns, then CW approx 5 turns.
ISOMET MAINTENANCE Cleaning It is of utmost importance that the optical apertures of the deflector optical head be kept clean and free of contamination. When the device is not in use, the apertures may be protected by a covering of masking tape.
