- Page 2 A - Introduction Thank you for purchasing the HAL 1200 Atlantic. (Automatic Transistorized Linear Amplifier No Tune Inside Computerized). This compact and lightweight desktop HF + 50MHz linear power amplifier has a maximum input power of 2.4 KW. Our solid-state broadband power amp technology makes it the smallest and lightest in the industry.
- Page 3 B-7 The amplifier has fast acting sophisticated protection circuits controlled by the latest microprocessor technology. Please note, however, any such actions that cause the same fault to occur repeatedly, will lead to failure of the valuable final power MOSFET transistors. B-8 Before checking into the amplifier, always disconnect the mains power supply, with the power disconnected, press the power switch to "POWER"...
- Page 4 C - Features C-1 Our solid-state broadband design engineers worked to make the HAL 1200 Atlantic, the lightest and most compact 1200 W HF amplifier in the industry. C-2 The amplifier is equipped with a newly developed band decoder. The amplifier’s decoder whit the microprocessor, on detecting RF input, changes bands automatically without any external connection, or as the data signal is received from the connection of the associated HF transceiver’s...

SEMIAUT : Semiautomatic band change with the help of the internal decoder, only the connection to the TX GND is required. (from StandBy mode), status STBY, send a carrier, (CW, FM, ..) with a minimum of 10W power, runs the Change Band, status changes in SET B, switch to Operate,...
- Page 15 Selection; QUIT : Return to previos screen. Selection; RESET : Select this option if and only if you are having malfunctions of the software screening program. All Data and Settings will be lost. The tracks stored in the case of diagnostic assistance will no longer be available.
- Page 16 M - Operation M - 1 Connect AC cord and coax cables as illustrated in section Connection. Connect the cable from TX GND to TX GND or the remote terminals of transceiver, where it is marked “SEND” or “REMOTE”. These terminal pins are shorted to ground when the transceiver is in TX/ON AIR mode.
- Page 17 M – 6 With the driving power from 45W to 65W, are automatically inserted in the input some attenuators, to prevent distortion of the amplification, for this reason, in some cases, the output power can be lower than with an optimal drive. This case is indicated by an "H"...
- Page 18 N - Protection & Safety HAL1200 Atlantic is equipped with various protection circuits, handled by the 16-bit microprocessor . The microprocessor controls three ( 3 ) levels of security and protection. First level (min) : the anomaly is handled automatically and in some cases is reported.
