lnstallation IiRs
Like any electronic apparatus, the FP-l0304 should be
installed in a location which allows free air circulation, so
as to provide efficient cooling for the power supply cir-
cuitry, The FP-103OAsfiould not be installed in locations
exposed to moisture, as a significant electric shock haz-
ard will exist.
We recommend that this unit not be installed in extremely
hot, dusty, or humid locations, nor in areas exposed to
d i r e c t s u n s h i n e .

area.
fl Connect a good earth ground to the GND terminal on
the bottom case, using a heavy, braided cable for con-
nection to your main station ground system.

AC cable into your station's wall outlet.
t Confirm the expected current drain for the radio(s) to
be connected to the FP-1030,4. The two pairs of snap-
in terminals can only handle a combined current of 6
Amps, while the screw-on terminal can provide up to
2 5 A m p s .

f Turn the FP-10304 ON first, then turn on the radio(s)
connected to the power supply, Operation may now
com mence.
[f When operation is completed, turn the radio (s) OFF
first, then turn off the power supply.
