DocumentDocumentTAJFUN 1000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL www.vhelectronics.sk www.kenwood.sk Acknowledgment Thank you for purchasing Power linear amplifier TAJFUN 1000 432 from VH Electronics. During its production, we used the latest knowledge in the field of VHF Power amplifiers and the most advanced technology in the management, communication and display systems. We believe that our product will exceed your expectations and will be working properly to your satisfaction. Please take a few moments to read this manual and get acquainted with this device. I. GENERAL INFORMATION I.1 Description TAJFUN 1000 432 is a small, lightweight but robust LDMOS VHF Power Amplifier (hereafter PA) working in amateur 70cm band with output power up to 900W. I.2 Technical parameters Frequency Coverage Operating Mode 430 - 434 MHz Amateur band FM, SSB, CW, DIGI Output Power 900W CW 700W SSB, 600W @ 21°C FM and DIGI 50% duty cycle Input Power 18 - 22W ( Inside 3dB hybrid attenuator ) Power Gain Typically 18dB LDMOS MRFE6VP61K25 ( 1200W ) PUSH PULL Configuration Class Operating AB Input / Output Impedance 50 Connector 2 x N-female Suppression of harmonics 70 dBc (Low Pass Filter) Intermodulation distortion -32 dBc Cooling Coaxial Relay Communication ports Power Supply Inside Robust heatsinks, 3 fans PA + 1 fan Power Supply CX600NC CX140D USB, LAN Input: 195 - 277VAC, 45 - 66Hz Working temperature Dimension Weight Output: 53VDC / 1800W 0 - 45°C, Max. Humidity 90% 266 x 105 x 294mm ( width x height x depth ) 6,2kg _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk I.3 Protection, measurements and display Protection Control / Display PWR, REF, Temperature, Imax, Umax/Umin Colour TFT display Measurements and display: o Drain Current o DC Voltage o Output Power PWR o Reflected Power REF o Peak Power PEP o Temperature I.4 Put into operation If your device was transported or stored in a cool or cold environment, it is necessary to unzip it first and let it dry in a warm enviroment (by doing this you will protect your device against a possible water condensation). Then you should connect the connecting coaxial cable to the RF INPUT and RF OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel (N-female connector) and attach the PTT RCA (CINCH) connector. Broadcasting (Tx) is active when connected to GND. Back panel _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk Insert a supplied power cord into the POWER. Then turn on the power switch. Initializing and control equipment starts. After a short time the fans will start, initialize the TFT touch screen and display: Basic menu - "Home QSO" , "Contest QSO" By pressing an icon on the screen we select: I.4.1 Mode Home QSO This mode is suitable for the standard operation of the Home for the occasional QSO with less demand for cooling of the PA. Speed cooling fans are continuously controlled (PWM) according to the temperature of the LDMOS transistor independently of the control of the PTT (Rx/Tx mode). Advantage quiet operation. I.4.2 Mode Contest QSO This mode is suitable for the Contest, eventually for DIGI operation with high demands on cooling of the PA. After switching of the PTT (Tx mode) it switches the maximum speed of the cooling fans. After switching off the PTT (mode Rx) the speed is continuously controlled (PWM) according to the temperature of the LDMOS transistor. Advantage - powerful cooling for demanding operations. After selecting the operating mode we will get to the menu for Display operation. In this menu, the PA does not respond to control PTT. Coaxial relays RF INPUT linking directly to the RF OUTPUT connector (bypass the amlifier). This mode ideal for local QSOs at low power wihout having to disconnect the PA. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk By pressing on the Icon, you can choose from the following views: o Standard o Bargraph o Peak o All values I.4.3 Standard It shows the performance of the Output Power - PWR, Reflected Power REF, both appears in a bargraph and their values are represented in a numerical form + it shows the values of the Temperature, Current and Voltage Mode Rx Mode Tx I.4.4 Bargraph It shows the performance of the Output Power - PWR, Reflected Power - REF and the Temperature TEMP; they are all shown in a bargraph and their values appear in numerical form I.4.5 Peak It displays values as Standard, but PWR PEP and REF PEP are displayed in the peek values and the maximum values are represented during the hold of the PTT (Tx mode) _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 5 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk I.4.6 All values It displays values as Standard. PWR PEP and REF PEP are displayed in the peak value and the maximum value are represented during the hold of the PTT (Tx mode) + it shows the values of the Coupler U PWR and U REF [mV] for servicing. I.5 Responding in excessing the parameters Alert / Block-Warning I.5.1 Output Power PWR Alert - when crossing PWR above the set value (1000W) it gets into a red bargraph, the numeric value turns red and the buzzer beeps Block - when crossing PWR above critical value (1100W) it declares "Warning" on the display and it blocks the LDMOS (Inhibit -5V), it turns the coax relay off and it blocks the PTT. In order to restore operation it is necessary to "Restart" confirm "Warning" and return to the Display operation Alert Block - Warning _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk I.5.2 Reflected Power REF Alert - when crossing PWR above the set value (100W) it gets into a red bargraph, the numeric value turns red and the buzzer beeps Block - when crossing REF above critical value (110W) it declares "Warning" on the display and it blocks the LDMOS (Inhibit -5V), it turns the coax relay off and it blocks the PTT. In order to restore operation it is necessary to "Restart" confirm "Warning" and return to the Display operation Alert I.5.3 Temperature Alert - when crossing the temperature above the set value (65°C) it gets into a red bargraph, the numeric value turns red and the buzzer beeps Block - when crossing PWR above critical value (70°C ) it declares "Warning" on the display and it blocks the LDMOS (Inhibit -5V), it turns the coax relay off and it blocks the PTT. In order to restore operation it is necessary to "Restart" confirm "Warning" and return to the Display operation Alert _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 7 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk I.5.4 DC Voltage Alert - when crossing DC Voltage above the set value (50V) the numeric value turns red and the buzzer beeps Block - when crossing DC Voltage above critical value (55V ) it declares "Warning" on the display and it blocks the LDMOS (Inhibit -5V), it turns the coax relay off and it blocks the PTT. In order to restore operation it is necessary to "Restart" confirm "Warning" and return to the Display operation Alert I.5.5 Drain Current Alert - when crossing Current above the set value (31A) the numeric value appears red and the buzzer beeps Block - when crossing Current above the critical value (35A ) it declares "Warning" on the display and it blocks the LDMOS (Inhibit -5V), it turns the coax relay off and it blocks the PTT. In order to restore the operation it is necessary to "Restart" confirm "Warning" and return to the Display operation Alert _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 8 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk BLOCK DIAGRAM _______________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 10 VH Electronics Slovakia www.vhelectronics.sk I.6 Sequencer I.6.1 Time control coaxial relay Control unit ,,Control Board" switch input and output coaxial relays in the correct time sequence according to the PTT signal.
