Atec PST-AR User Manual

DESCRIPTION:

Series AR amplifiers are rack-mountable units which incorporate the Series AM amplifier in a cabinet containing a built-in universal AC power supply (for models up to 100 watts). Models are available for operation at frequencies from 1 MHz to 2 GHz and output power from 10 to 250 W. They are forced-air cooled by blowers built into the mechanical package. AR models are also available with an optional IEEE BUS for remote control and monitoring (ARD version).

FEATURES:

■ Frequency Range: 1 MHz to 2 GHz; bandwidths

to multi-octave

■ Power Output: 10 to 250 watts

■ CE Compliant

■ Universal AC input (Models up to 100 watts)
