3–2 FM1000A User’s Manual
These steps summarize the operating procedures you should use for the initial
operation of the power amplifier and power supply. More detailed information
follows.
1. Ensure that the external remote control unit is properly connected (See the
Pin Out Description Table, Section 2.6, page 2–8 for proper pin configura-
tion). If not using a remote control unit, pin 7 must be tied to ground pin 6.
2. Connect Antenna.
3. If using an external remote control, enable the power supply via the remote
I/O connector.
4. Turn on (flip up) the AC input circuit breaker located on the rear panel of the
power supply (do not turn on the front panel power switch yet).
3.1 Initial Power-up Procedures
5. Turn on the exciter (a Crown FM30 or equivalent) and adjust its RF power
output level until the In Reference (In Ref) voltage, as indicated on the
PA1000 front panel Digital Multimeter, is between 0.4 and 0.8volts. This is
not a drive dependent amplifier; therefore drive must be at a constant level
regardless of main output power.
Note: The unit will not operate until the exciter is active.
