2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGE!

The power amplifier is using high voltage up to 3300V DC, which is very dangerous for

human life! Read next safety instructions carefully first, before you will start to install

and operate power amplifier! NEVER VIOLATE NEXT RULES!

NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN to play around PA or to touch power amplifier or

connected cables in working condition, or to push anything into the case holes!

The amplifier contains high voltage circuits. Never turn the amplifier on without

the upper lidin place. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHORT OR BYPASS safety switch under

upper lid!

OM2200A amplifier can be operated ONLY if both of supply cables are connected!

The amplifier reaches optimal parameters in 2 phase’s system, if you do not have 2 phases,

connect both mains cords into the same phase.

The OM2200A amplifier is neither to be used in a WET or HUMID environment

nor to be exposed to RAINFALL!

Do not turn the amplifier on without having connected the ANTENNA or properly

rated DUMMY LOAD! A hazardous HF voltage may build up on the antenna connector

after turning the amplifier on with no antenna or dummy load connected!

Before opening the upper lid of the amplifier make sure that power supply has been

disconnected AT LEAST 5 minutes allowing the electrolytic capacitors to discharge fully.

Disconnect power cord from the outlet!

The amplifier must be installed in such a way that free flow of hot air from the tube

is allowed. The amplifier must not be installed in a constrained surrounding (i.e. tight

shelves etc.). During long time operation ventilation grid can reach high temperature. Do

not touch the top cover of the PA in these places during operation.

The amplifier must be properly grounded during operation.

During operation the amplifier must be installed in such a way that the rear side

remains accessible.

The amplifier is an A category product. In a household it can influence other electric

appliances. In such cases the user is to take proper actions to mitigate this disturbance.

Make sure that all screws holding the case together are properly in place and

tightened before carrying the amplifier with the handles.

Read this manual carefully. Fallow all of instructions during installation and

operation to avoid damage to the amplifier not covered by manufacturer´s warranty! Do

not attempt to perform any change of hardware or software!

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3.1. HF part

In this amplifier a tetrode FU728F is used in a grounded-cathode circuit (input into control

grid). This amplifier achieves excellent linearity by the voltage stabilization of the control grid

bias and the screen voltage. The power input is given to the control grid, using a broadband

input circuit with an input impedance of 50 Ohms. This adaptable input circuitry ensures a

good input SWR (better than 1.2:1) on all amateur bands.

The output of the amplifier is a Pi-L circuit. The ceramic capacitor for TUNE and LOAD are

divided. This enables the amplifier to be tuned exactly and makes it possible to easily return

to the previously set positions after band changes.

3.2. Power Supply

The power supply consists of 3 kVA toroidal transformer and rectifier block. A soft start is provided

using relays and resistors.

The high anode voltage is made by combining 8 x 420 V (total 3300V DC) @ 1.5A. Each has its

own rectifier and filter. In the high voltage circuit, safety resistors are employed to protect the

amplifier against overload.

The source for screen grid is regulated by parallel stabilization with FET transistors and delivers

a voltage of 350V at 100mA.

The -120V for the control grid is regulated with zener diodes.

3.3. Safety Devices

Control and monitoring circuits ensure control and safety during malfunctions of the PA. These

are on the Control board, which is located on the chassis subpanel.

4. INSTALLATION

NOTE

Read this chapter carefully prior you will start installation. Before unpacking inspect shipping

woody container first, if it is not damaged. Keep all of packing parts for possible future

shipment. Check unpacked power amplifier. If you find some damaging, contact your dealer

immediately to keep full warranty.

During installation go step by step according to next parts.

4.1. Grounding

The amplifier has to be grounded properly! Connect the screw on the rear panel of

the amplifier to your local grounding system with a copper cable; use a cross-section of 4

mm2 at least.

Connect your transceiver to the same grounding system of your shack carefully!

Use a minimum length cables and make certain that the connections are both physically and

electrically sound. With poor grounding, you may risk damaging your equipment, having

problems with TVI/BCI or your transmitted signal may be distorted.

4.2. Coaxial Cable

The output of the transceiver is to be connected to the input of the amplifier via RG58 or

similar cable. For the connection between the power amplifier and the antenna, RG213 or

similar coaxial cable suited for high power is recommended. Both the INPUT and OUTPUT SO-

239 sockets with Teflon insulation is used.

AUX Fan Remote I/O Interface INPUT

4.3. I/O Box and Interface

Control of Amplifier and communication with TCVR as well as Antennas / BPF switching can

be done via the rear panel I/O Interface.

Control cable maintains TX / RX switching of the PA (TX GND). The cable is shielded. On the

side of the power amplifier a CINCH-socket is used. On the side of your transceiver you have

to use a socket suitable for this transceiver. During transmitting the middle pin is connected

to the ground.

The relays of the OM2200A have to be switched earlier than HF is applied (cold switching).

Modern transceivers they have a time delay between PTT switching and power output.
