Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on the outdoor permanent
structures. RF exposure compliance is addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the
responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Anywave Communication Technologies,
Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

WARNING
THE VOLTAGES, CURRENTS, AND RF ENERGY IN THIS EQUIPMENT ARE
DANGEROUS. PERSONNEL MUST AT ALL TIMES OBSERVE ALL SAFETY
WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND REGULATIONS.
IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY, ENSURE THAT ALL POWER HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE REMOVING COVERS,
ENCLOSURES, OR SHIELDS. DO NOT PERFROM SERVICE ON THE
EQUIPMENT WHEN ALONE OR FATIGUED. KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT AND
DO NOT TAKE RISKS.
This manual is provided as a general guide for trained and qualified personnel well aware of
the dangers inherent in handling potentially hazardous electrical transmission equipment.
The installation, operation, maintenance and service of this equipment involves risks both to
personnel and equipment and must ONLY be performed by qualified personnel exercising
due care. Anywave Communication Technologies, Inc. shall not be responsible for injury or
damage resulting from improper handling or from the use of improperly trained or
inexperienced personnel performing such tasks.
All local building and electrical codes as well as fire protection standards must be observed in
the installation and operation of the equipment.

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

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.
