IMPORTANT:
– Ensure proper shielding between the final stage and audio stage with exciter. Install a good feed-through capacitor on the +50V supply wiring to prevent RF interference.
– Excessive drive levels can damage the amplifier. Ensure your equipment includes appropriate protection circuits.
– Amplifier efficiency is dependent on supply voltage. For maximum efficiency, adjust the supply according to the desired output power, typically at 1-3 dB gain compression.
– RF pallets are sensitive. If you lack sufficient experience, consider a fully finished product. Misuse can lead to damage, and no warranty is provided. Every pallet is tested and fully operational upon dispatch.
– Ensure proper airflow across the pallet to prevent overheating.
Warnings and Notes:
– Do not exceed maximum supply voltage for your pallet to avoid damage.
– Use PTFE coaxial cable for RF input (RG178) and output (RG142). Keep leads very short.
– A heatsink is essential. Ensure proper airflow across the pallet to prevent overheating.
