- Page 2 Do not attempt to operate this unit prior to reading this manual. Warranty Electronics & Innovation Ltd., (hereafter E&I) warrants for the period of three years from the date of original delivery, each unit to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. For the period of 36 months E&I will, at its option, repair or replace defective parts so as to render the unit fully operational such that it performs according to the original specifications;...
- Page 3 600 KHz. It is rated at 500 watts of RF power with low harmonic and intermodulation distortion. A Class D design, the 500S06 will amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex modulation signals within the bandwidth of the amplifier. The amplifier has 57 dB gain, it is unconditionally stable and will not oscillate even with combinations of mismatched source and load impedance.
- Page 4 Chapter 2 Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION The 500S06 RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the 20 to 600 KHz. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required. The 500S06 produces rated power output at its output connector into 50 Ohms. It will produce less power at other load impedances.
- Page 5 Chapter 3 Technical Description 3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 500S06 is designed to amplify signals by 57 dB in the frequency band of 20 to 600 KHz. The signal from the front panel RF connector is fed into the input of the pre-amplifier module.
- Page 6 There is a current limit protection circuit to protect the unit, in addition to the input drive clamp. Current and voltage samples are taken from the output and fed to the BNC connectors on the front panel for monitoring purposes. The AC supply is fed through an EMI filter to two power supplies that convert the AC to 74 Vdc for the amplifier.
- Page 7 Chapter 4 Maintenance 4.1 INTRODUCTION The E&I 500S06 RF amplifier requires no periodic maintenance. The instrument is unconditionally stable and is fail-safe under all load conditions. Damage can only be externally caused by overdrive in excess of 2 watts (+33 dBm) or backfeeding the output of the unit from another high power source or incorrect connection to the AC input.
