2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE!

The power amplifier is using high voltage up to 3200V 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!

Never turn the amplifier on without the upper lid in place. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHORT OR

BYPASS safety switch under upper lid!

The OM2000A+ 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 10 minutes allowing the electrolytic capacitors to discharge fully.

Disconnect power cord from the outlet!

Any work inside the PA (internal fuses replacement, tube replacement, etc.) can be carried out

only by professionally qualified person!

CAUTION

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 it!

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.

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

his amplifier is using a ceramic tetrode FU-728F in a grounded-cathode circuit (input into

control grids). The OM2000A+ 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 grids, using a

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

ensures a good input SWR (better than 1.5 : 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

Power amplifier is using one 3 KVA toroidal transformer. A soft start is provided using relays and

resistors (placed on the switch-ON board). The high voltage is made by combining 4 x 575V AC (total

abt. 3200V DC) @ 1.2A. Each has its own rectifier and filter. In the high voltage circuit, safety resistors

are employed to protect the amplifier against overload (placed on the power supply board).

The separated supply for screen grid is regulated by stabilization with MOSFET and delivers abt. 330V

DC at 100mA. Control grid voltage is also stabilized (-120V DC). Change of stabilized first grid voltage

is controlled by the software (EBS for example).

Primary section of the transformer is adjustable for 230 - 250 VAC. Factory setting is 240VAC.

If the AC voltage in your network is 230 or 250 Volts, you need to set the correct value before

first starting of the PA. See part 7.1. for more information. Other primary voltage is possible on

request (for example 200V 50/60 Hz for Japan).

3.3. Safety Devices

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

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

One of the important safety element is mechanical

switch for AC blocking at opened amplifier.

4. INSTALLATION

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

carton 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.

Type of supported TCVR and working

frequency are visible on the display.

AUTO LED is ON.
