AC Power
Connection
The ac power supply required for this unit is 115/230 V, depending on
the model, @ 50/60 Hz, 1
φ . The blower is equipped with an IEC 320
“cold” (65 ° C) ac inlet.
Connecting RF
Power
After installing the load, the RF transmission line can be attached
using standard coaxial line coupling kits.
“QC” Connector Coupling:
Use 50 ohm coaxial cable such as
RG-218/U or -220/U (-17A or -19A), appropriate for the frequency and
power level of operation. Use a cable connector which will mate with
the one on the load.
Swivel Flanged Coupling:
To couple the swivel flange with a flanged
RF transmission line, use an appropriate coupling kit. Refer to
Figure 5 while following the instructions below:
y Insert the center bullet and push it in until it is fully seated.
y Connect the coaxial input in a straight line and push carefully on
the center conductor to close.
CAUTION
Check the local electrical code for proper ac hookup prior to
operation of the unit. Make sure the neutral or return hookup is
only used for that purpose.
WARNING
Turn off ac power and RF power when attaching the power cable.
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.
