Connecting RF Power
Note: After installing the load, the RF transmission line can be attached using standard coaxial line cou-
pling kits.
Using a “QC” Connector Coupling
Use a 50 ohm coaxial cable such as RG-218/U or -220/U (-17A or -19A), appropriate for the frequency and power
level of operation.
Note: Use a cable connector which will mate with the one on the load.
Using a 13-30 Coupling
Use 50 ohm coaxial cable such as RG-8A/U, RG-9U, RG-213/U, or equivalent with a male 13-30 plug.
WARNING
Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being
applied. Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
