1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Model 8000-003 RF Power Amplifier is capable of supplying a minimum of 500 watts into a 50 ohm load over the frequency range 80MHz to 1000MHz. The amplifier is designed with sufficient gain so that it may be used with normal output levels of signal sources.
A safety interlock on the rear panel is also provided, which will mute the

high power factor, and a wide voltage range operation. The unit is air cooled with integral fans and is protected against faulty cooling by excess temperature sensing.
air flow, or fan failure, and any potential imbalance between the 250W amplifier units.
The amplifier is designed for rugged operation into a variety of loads and is primarily intended for use as an RF power source for EMC susceptibility testing, but is also applicable to other systems requiring a wide-band linear amplifier.
This amplifier is designated as Professional Equipment and should not be operated by untrained staff. As this product has the capability to generate high levels of RF energy it is not intended for use in a residential environment.
Standard Configuration
The 8000-003 amplifier system comes already assembled and connected in a
19-inch 25U rack.
The N type input and 7/16 output connectors are located on the rear panel.

CAUTION: Before performing any maintenance, see Before You Begin on page 13.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts within the 8000-003 amplifier system. Maintenance of the amplifier system is limited to the external cables.
WARRANTY
To prevent electrical shock DO NOT remove the covers.
Warranty will be void if the covers are opened.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT BEFORE CLEANING. Clean the exterior of the cabinet using a damp cloth.
Note: The cables which form part of the amplifier are matched lengths and are
critical to its performance. If replacement is necessary use only genuine spares.
2.0 Maintenance

Unpacking
The 8000-003 amplifier system is supplied fully assembled in a 19 inch 25U rack.
If any signs of damage are found no attempt should be made to install or operate
the amplifier system. Contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service immediately to report the problem.
If the shipping carton has been damaged, retain the shipping carton and packing
material for the carrier's inspection. Check that the equipment is complete and is in an undamaged condition, and then contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service for further advice.
Safety Information
This RF amplifier has been designed and tested in accordance with BS EN61010-1
and has been supplied in a safe condition. This manual contains warning information which must be followed to ensure safe operation and to retain the apparatus in a safe condition.
This apparatus does not incorporate components liable to explode or implode
during normal operating conditions.
In normal operating conditions this apparatus does not liberate injurious or
poisonous gases.
Sound levels of this apparatus in a rack are below 85dBA as required by
EN61010-1.
If local regulations have a lower limit, appropriate action should be taken in line
with the local regulations so as to comply.
This apparatus is of Installation Category 2.

Before You Begin
WARNING: This apparatus is capable of delivering harmful levels of radio frequency power. Ensure at all times during operation that the RF output is properly terminated with an adequately rated termination or transducer and that the cables and connectors attached to the apparatus are in good condition.
The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose live parts.
This apparatus must only be serviced by qualified service personnel and must be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for adjustment, replacement, maintenance, or repair.
Make sure that only fuses of the required rated current and of the specified type are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders are prohibited.
Warnings

Installation

CAUTION: Before connecting any components, see Before You Begin on page 13.
5.0 Installation
Star / Delta Configuration
If supplied with 3 phase mains in Star (Y) connection, a neutral line must be supplied. In Delta configuration no neutral is required.
Mains Input
Mains input is via a ready wired IEC 60309 3 phase plug.
Star (Y) configuration is supplied with a 5-pin plug. Delta configuration is also
supplied with a 5-pin plug; although neutral is present, it is unused.
If the plug requires rewiring, the brown, black, and grey lines are live 1, 2, and 3
respectively, blue is neutral (Star (Y) only), and green/yellow is earth.
Amplifier Protection
The amplifier is protected by means of a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) which is located at the rear of the power supply unit. Where possible it is best to position the amplifier so that the MCB is accessible.

Operation
17
CAUTION: Before placing into operation, see Before You Begin on page 13.
Note: Make sure you are satisfied with the contents and condition of your
system prior to placing it into operation.
Warning: Avoid exceeding the stated maximum input level as this can cause a risk of damaging the equipment.
Warning: There is a significant risk of an electrical or burn hazard; to avoid this, always ensure the output is terminated into a suitable load prior to switching on the equipment.
6.0 Operation
Equipment Use
The equipment must only be used for its intended purpose.
All parts of the equipment must remain connected to ensure that protective circuits
operate. Disconnecting parts of the equipment may impair operation and safety.
Mains Switch
The amplifier is switched on or off by pressing the green/red button on the front of the power supply unit.
Standby/Operate Switch (Centre Unit)
Pressing the standby/operate switch toggles the state of the amplifier between Standby and Operate modes. The blue halo indicator flashes in Standby mode, whereas steady blue indicates Operate mode.
Page 18
18
Operation
WARNING: The centre conductor of the RF output represents a severe burn hazard to personnel.
Never operate the amplifier without a proper termination or with defective cables or connectors.
Fault Indicator (Red LED)
Should a fault be detected, the red LED on the centre unit front panel will be illuminated. The amplifier will be forced into standby mode and the unit will cease to function (only the fans will continue to operate). This action is latching, therefore only when the fault has been cleared can the amplifier be reset; this is done by pressing the standby/operate switch.
The reasons for the system fault light to illuminate are as follows:
Excess module temperature
Air cooling failure (fans failing to operate)
Power supply failure
Interlock Indicator (Orange LED)
When the rear panel interlock is activated the interlock indicator will illuminate and the amplifier gain stages will all be turned off. This action is latching; therefore, the amplifier will return to Standby mode when the interlock is released.
Local Lockout Indicator
This indicator is used when the USB/GPIB Interface option is fitted. Refer to the separate Remote Control Interface manual supplied.
RF Input (Depending on model)
The RF input will accept a signal from an RF generator. This input must be within the operating frequency range of the 8000-003 amplifier system. An amplitude of up to 0dBm will be sufficient to saturate the amplifier. Operation outside the specified frequency range should not be attempted as it may subject the amplifier to undue internal stress.
RF Output (Depending on model)
This connector must be suitably terminated at all times during operation. Ensure that the cable is capable of handling the power available, which may be as much as
900 watts.
