1 Product Appearance

1.1 Front Panel

 LAN

 Connector:10M/100M Ethernet

 Note:Ethernet port for web-based remote control

(ipaddress: 192.168.1.210, username/password: anywavecom/anywavecom)

 LED_PWR

 Green light will be on when the DC voltage of internal power supply is within the normal range

(48 VDC ~ 52 VDC).

 Green light will flash when the DC voltage of internal power supply is out of the normal range

(48 VDC ~ 52 VDC).

 Green light will be off when the external power supply is turned off, or internal power supply

module does not work.

 LED_RS485

 Green light will flash once per second when the internal communication is normal.  Green light will stay constantly on or off when the internal communication is abnormal.

 LED_FWD

 Blue light will be on when RF_OUT has power output.  Blue light will be off when the RF button is turned off, or the PA enters the auto-protection mode

and therefore shuts down its RF output. There are several situations which will result in auto-protection mode, such as the input power is too high, the reflected power is too high, or the temperature is too high.

 LED_ALARM

 Red light will be off if there is no alarm.  Red light will be on if there is any alarm.

 RESET: reserved.

Note:

1) The front fan covers can be removed to clean the air intake path. No screw driver is needed, and no

disassembly of the PA is required.

2) When a warning occurs and the PA enters auto-protection mode, the only way to clear this state is to

cycle power on the PA module once the problem(s) is resolved. Otherwise all warning LEDs will remain on even if the problem(s) no longer exists.

1.2 Back Panel

 RF IN

 Connector: N  Impedance: 50 Ω  Note: If input power from RF_IN is lower than rated input value, the output power will be lower

than rated output power accordingly. This is because the PA has a fixed gain. If the input level from RF_IN is higher than the rated value, it will result in RF output distortion and performance deterioration. If the input level is more than 1 dB higher than the rated value or the output power is higher than preset FWD threshold, it may trigger the current-limiting function. The PA will enter the auto-protection mode, and there will be reduced RF output or even no RF output.

 RF_OUT

 Connector: 7/16 DIN  Impedance: 50 Ω  Note: RF_OUT must be connected with a load, otherwise the PA will enter the auto-protection

mode and there will be in no RF output.

 RS485

 Connector: DB9-M  Note: Connected to REMOTE (PRS-485-1) port of Controller, which is

used for control and communication between the Controller and the PA.

 AC INPUT: 176~300VAC, 47~63Hz, 16A/220VAC (single-phase, 3-wire – L1, L2, GND)  AC Power Breaker: ON/OFF

Note

1) The electrical interface characteristics are measured at rated power. Values may change.

2) Operating in abnormal conditions may result in damage to the equipment. Long operating hours in

severe environments may reduce the reliability of the entire system, which may cause permanent damage to equipment. Make sure all electrical interface characteristics and environmental parameters are within the defined range listed above before operating this equipment.

3 Control Interface

3.1 Local (Controller) Interface

Local control and monitoring of the PA unit can be accomplished via the Controller touch panel interface. Use a standard serial cable to connect the PA DB9 RS485 port to the Controller PRS-485-1 RS485 port (please reference the 500W VI TX QSG for the system interconnect diagram and details). With this connection established, the PA information will be displayed on the Controller touch screen and web interface, as shown below:

Note: The displayed settings and numbers contained in the screens below are for illustration purposes only and may be different from those in actual use.
