General

The 3160 Power Amplifier is designed to provide 125 W transmitting power for a 2110M or 2110 Manpack Transceiver. The 3160 provides 12 V DC to the transceiver from a suitable power source. When the 3160 is connected into the transceiver system, it is automatically detected when the transceiver is switched on.

NOTE A 100 W option is available.

Power supply options

The 3160 Power Amplifier requires a 12 V DC supply. This may be supplied by one of the following sources:

• 3020 Transceiver Supply (fixed station only; this requires connection to the AC mains supply)

• 12 V DC vehicle battery (see Figure 3 on page 7)

• 24 V DC vehicle battery via a 24 V to 12 V voltage regulator (see Figure 4 on page 7)

You can mount the 3020 Transceiver Supply or

Overview

Typical layouts

The 2110M or 2110 Manpack Transceiver and a 3160 Power Amplifier may be installed in a mobile station or a fixed station.

The equipment may be arranged in one of two layouts:

• basic layout, in which items are located separately and

• stacked layout, in which all items are bolted together in a

A 2110 amplifier adaptor panel (supplied with the 3160) is attached to the rear of the 2110 cradle. When the manpack transceiver is inserted into the cradle, it connects with the 2110 amplifier adaptor panel. A special power adaptor cable connects the 2110 amplifier adaptor panel to the 3160 and an appropriate 12 V DC power source. A coaxial cable connects the antenna output from the connector on the front panel of the transceiver to the RF INPUT connector on the 3160. The RF output from the 3160 is sent to an antenna system via a coaxial cable connected to the connector.

Care and safety guidelines

The following guidelines are intended for best performance of the equipment and operator safety:

• Ensure that the 3160 and manpack transceiver are in a well-ventilated area.

• Check the mounting points regularly if the installation is subject to continuous vibration.

• Ensure that the installation is grounded to a suitable earth point.

• Check the safe working distance for the type of antenna you are using at 125 W output.

Overview

Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook 13

Overview

Compatibility

The following hardware build standards are required for operation with the 3160:

Transceiver type Build standard

2110M Manpack Transceiver A or later
