User manual ICOM IC-PS30

[. . . ] AVOID using or placing the linear amplifier or remote controller in areas with temperatures below ­10°C (+14°F) or above +40°C (+104°F). AVOID placing the linear amplifier or remote controller in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the linear amplifier against walls or putting anything on top of the linear amplifier. The linear amplifier will become hot when operating if continuously for long periods.

See the diagram below for connection procedures. AC input voltage is automatically selected. The IC-PS30 can accept either 100­120 V AC or 200­240 V AC power. * However, we recommend using 200­240 V AC rather than 100­120 V AC for better power supply efficiency and longer periods of transmission. * Europe version: 230 V AC only s Unpacking After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the delivering carrier or dealer. For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the IC-PS30, see UNPACKING on p. ii of this manual. s Ferrite core installation The supplied ferrite core and cable clips (o and !0 in UNPACKING) should be attached to the AC cable of the IC-PS30 as illustrated below. This will help prevent interference such as TVI, etc. Attach and position the cable clips to the AC cable as illustrated. Ferrite core Cut the cable clips so that enough length remains to secure the ferrite core in place. s Selecting a location Select a location for the linear amplifier that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electro-magnetic sources. The linear amplifier and remote controller sections of the IC-PS30 can be separated. Use the shorter end (from the bushing) to connect to the remote controller. Control cable JACK unit MAIN unit Separation cable (Fig. 1) u Remove 2 screws from the cable hole cover on the linear amplifier rear panel. Insert the separation cable into the cable hole. Keep the hole cover and screws for future use. Longer end (from the bushing) OLLER CONTR e Unplug the control cable from J3 on the MAIN unit. Control cable (step i) J3 Control cable (step e) (Fig. 2) i Plug the other longer end (from the bushing) of the separation cable into J10 on the JACK unit through the cable hole. Connect the grounding wire as shown below. Connect the control cable to J11. r Remove 2 screws from the front panel of the linear amplifier, then detach the remote controller. 1) Attach the dummy panel onto the space left by the controller using the 2 screws. t Remove 5 screws from the rear panel of the remote controller, then remove the rear panel. Control cable J11 Separation cable To J3 (MAIN) J10 JACK unit o Plug the other end of the control cable into J3 on the MAIN unit. 2) !0 Replace the top cover and 8 screws. 10 3 OPERATION s When first applying power (CPU resetting) Before first applying power, make sure all connections required for your system are complete by referring to chapter 2. Then, reset the linear amplifier using the following procedure. [. . . ] · The antenna is not properly tuned. Sensitivity is low. Operating band does not change automatically. · Cable connection is faulty. · The CI-V setting is not properly programmed. · Reverse connection on the antenna input and output. · [ALC adj] is not adjusted properly. Output power is too low. · The linear amplifier circuit is turned OFF. [. . . ]
