Amplifier Use:
The amplifier operational baseplate temperature must be within the operational
temperature range stated in the amplifier operation manual. Depending on the design and
thermal requirements, using a heatsink with cooling fan is always recommended for safe
reliable operation. A heat sink without a cooling fan may also be used. Damage caused from
overheating will void the warranty.
Confirm the system is designed and calibrated for 50 Ohms. Any impedance mismatch may
cause performance issues.
Confirm the amplifier output load is matched for a 50 Ohm impedance and will not exceed
the maximum output load VSWR limit for the amplifier. Exceeding the maximum output load
VSWR limit will result in reflected signal that could damage the amplifier and void the
warranty.
Confirm adequate system grounding is established. The DC power supply and amplifier must
have a common ground in order to operate properly.
Power supply must be able to provide adequate current for the amplifier. Power supply
should be able to provide 1,5 times the typical current or 1,2 times the maximum current
(whichever is greater).
As long as the input and output ports of the amplifier are connected to a 50 Ohm load and
RF-signal is applied, the amplifier can be powered up with DC voltage.
Ensure that the power and DC voltage is off then connecting or disconnecting the input or
output of the amplifier.
Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the amplifier.
The amplifier is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with amplifier.
