Inspect unit for any sign of external damage. Do not use this equipment if there is physical damage or missing parts. Verify the input AC voltage to the main power supply. For a system with a digital controller option DO NOT USE OR CONNECT a PoE enabled ethernet switch to a system. Our digital controller does not support PoE connection and will cause permanent damages to a controller unit. INTENDED USE This product is intended for general laboratory use in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications. RF OUTPUT LOAD & PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED The RF output connector must be connected to a load before the AC switch is turned on. AC & RF power must be off before disconnecting the output load or other components. The main power source to the equipment must have an uninterrupted safety ground that has sufficient size to the power cord. REPAIR & MAINTENANCE All repair or maintenance work must be performed by a factory authorized technician in order to extend the operating life of this equipment and not to void any outstanding warranty. FORCED AIR COOLING This equipment requires forced air cooling. All air inlets and outlets must be cleared and free of blocking at all time. Insufficient air flow will result in damaged equipment. SAFETY SYMBOLS This symbol is marked on the equipment when it is necessary for the user to refer to the manual for important safety information. This symbol is indicated in the Table of Contents to assist in locating pertinent information. Dangerous voltages are present. Use extreme care. The caution symbol denotes a potential hazard. Attention must be given to the statement to prevent damage, destruction or harm. This symbol indicates protective earth terminal. 3 | P a g e - Ver. 1.0 11-22 SPECIFICATIONS ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: 50, 25°C Parameter Specification Band A B Operating Frequency Band 1 - 1000 MHz 1 - 6 GHz Power Output @ Psat 30 Watt Min / 50 Watt Typ Power Gain 45 dB Min Power Gain Flatness 4.0 dB p-p Max Gain Adjustment Range 20 dB Min Input Return Loss -10 dB Max 2-Tone Intermodulation (IMD) -30 dBc Typ Harmonics <-20 dBc Typ Spurious -60 dBc Max Operating Voltage 100 - 240 VAC Power Consumption 500 Watt Max Input Power Protection +10 dBm Max1 Load VSWR Protection 6 : 1: Max2 Sample Port (optional) -40 dB 1 Units with optional digital monitor and control, for basic units <10 Sec without damage 2 Units with optional digital monitor and control, for basic units <1 minute at rated Pout ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS Parameter Operating Ambient Temperature Storage Temperature Relative Humidity Altitude Shock & Vibration 3 MIL Spec available for quotation Specification 0 to +50 °C -40 to +85 °C up to 95 % 3000 meters Normal transport3 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Parameter Dimensions W x H x D Weight RF Connectors Input/Output/Sample Interface Connector AC Power Cooling OPTIONAL: Digital Monitor & Control (DMC) FWD, REV, VSWR, GAIN, ALC, V & I, TEMP, Optional Safety Interlock (INT) e Specification 430 x 88 x 700 mm 12 Kg.

INCOMING INSPECTION Inspect unit for any sign of external damage. Do not use this equipment if there is physical damage or missing parts. Inspect all front and rear panel connectors for damage. Inspect fans and their airways for any damage or blockings. For a unit with a digital controller option, the USB and ethernet interface and commands list is in the second part of the manual. RF & AC CABLE CONNECTION RF Input and Output connectors are outlined in the specifications table. Use the standard AC cable that was supplied by the manufacturer or higher power rating cables than the manual specifies. Refer to the front and rear panel description page for the location of RF and AC connectors. For a system with a digital controller option DO NOT USE OR CONNECT a PoE enabled ethernet switch to a system. Our digital controller does not support PoE connection and will cause permanent damages to a controller unit. RF TURN ON PROCEDURE Connect RF input to an RF Pulse Generator and Gating signal. Connect a suitable load for the power rated and continuous operation to the output connector. Turn on the AC switch, display will show STANDBY. Optionally, connect the unit to a digital control Software or Ethernet connection. Set the RF generator to nominal 0dBm and set the desired frequency in the specified range. Select Gain or ALC and set to the desirable output power level then press the ONLINE button. Use the front panel LCD gain adjust or the remote function to adjust the output power on the power meter and the LCD screen to desired levels. Refer to Appendix-1 for detailed operating instructions of the local and remote controller. RF TURN OFF PROCEDURE Decrease the RF drive from the RF generator to below -20dBm and press STANDBY on the LCD or via the control software. Turn off AC switch on the front panel. Disconnect any unnecessary cable connections. 5 | P a g e - Ver. 1.0 11-22 DECLARATION OF CE CONFORMITY We, Advanced Amplifiers Corp, declare under our sole responsibility that the product to which this declaration relates is in conformity with the following standard(s) or other normative document(s): Council Directive 98/37/EC on the Safety of Machinery Directive Council Directive 2014/35/EC on Low Voltage Equipment Safety LIMITED WARRANTY Advanced Amplifiers warrants that goods delivered hereunder, at the time of delivery, will be free from defects in workmanship and material and will conform to the requirements of the purchase order.
