Page 10: Operating Procedures
Operating Procedures 1. Before turning on the unit, make sure the RF Input and Output connectors on the front panel are terminated with 50 Ohms system. 2. Turn on power from rear panel. Following message will display on LCD. Page 10 of 16 Rev 1.0 www.valuetronics.com... - Page 11 3. Turn on Switch from the front panel as shown in picture. 4. Unit runs in Self test mode. LCD screen will display the bias settings, temperature, SWR, Gain, Pin & Pout of the module and driver after finishing self test mode.
- Page 12 Please note that initially, there is no RF input given to the Power Amplifier so it will not show any value for Pin, Pout, SWR and Gain. 5. When RF input is applied, the front panel LCD updates values of Pin, Pout, SWR, Gain, Current and temperature status of PA and Driver.
- Page 13 6. Connect USB cable between Unit and Computer to operate unit in Remote operation. For more details, check commands list. COMMAND DESCRIPTION SR.#. Displays the serial number of the unit Displays the current and temperature of the unit. Power amplifier and power supply shut down. Detecting USB Port.
- Page 14 7. Before switching off the power from the front panel, make sure the RF output reduced to a safe level (-50dBm) or completely removed input from RF Input. 8. In the event of any fault occurring, the unit is automatically shut down and turns off RF DC power.
