Grounding
The Remote control box has to be grounded properly! Connect the screw on the rear panel of the box to your local grounding system with a copper-cable; use a cross-section of 4 mm2 at least. Connect your transceiver and amplifier to the same grounding system of your shack carefully! If you use a power amplifier with higher output you have to be aware that your grounding system works properly. All parts have to be grounded to the same system. Use short cables and make sure that there are good contacts! Otherwise you run the risk of damaging your equipment, having problems with TVI/BCI or your signal may be distorted.
Deployment instructions:
- Connect unit with the OM2501A power amplifier using the supplied cable
- Supply 12V DC voltage to power socket using supplied PSU
- Check that green POWER LED and yellow STBY LED are both lid. Shall any connection fault occur it will be indicated by sequenced POWER and STBY flashing and FAULT led will be lid constantly.
- Turn the PA on using the ON button. Tube heating process will begin. This will be indicated by green LED on the ON button and by flashing of four LEDs (TUNE,GRID,SWR,DRIVE) (WAIT led will be also lid on the PA’s front panel)
- After heating process PA is now ready to be turned into operating mode using OPERATE button. Use same switch to enter STBY / OPERATE (works as reset shall fault state occur)
Warning:Â It is absolutely a must to observe and follow all best practices and safety precautions as well as your local health and safety law and fire / electricity regulations. We do recommend using visual remote control like Web Camera etc.
