    Tune the exciter to a middle band frequency e.g. 215Mhz, wait for the PLL to lock then gradually raise the output power of the exciter. Verify the increase in the output power the of PJRL250 and simultaneously monitor the current "I"; they should increase propor- tionally and assume about the some final value.
  • Page 26 FIRST LEVEL MAINTENANCE 4.2 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE The only regular maintenance needed by PJRL250, is the periodic replacement of the blowers, and the cleaning of dust filters and any dust accumulated inside the amplifier. The time between overhauling of the blowers depends upon several environmental factors, temperature, humidity, dust pollution etc.
