HF/50 MHz ALL BAND
1 kW LINEAR AMPLIFIER
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. This may result in an electrical
shock or burn.
RWARNING! NEVER carry the linear amplifier
by yourself. At least two persons must carry the linear
amplifier since it weights approx. 25 kg (55 lb).
RWARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage until the
linear amplifier is grounded. Touching the linear amplifier may result in an electrical shock.
RNEVER apply AC voltage that exceeds the sug-
gested voltage. This could cause a fire or ruin the
IC-PW1/EURO.
RNEVER use an extension cord with the AC power
cable. Extension cords may cause fire or electrical
shock.
RNEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any
internal part or connectors on the panel of the linear
amplifier. This will cause electric shock.
RNEVER expose the linear amplifier or remote con-
troller to rain, snow or any liquids.
NEVER allow children to play with the linear amplifi-
er or remote controller.
DO NOT operate the IC-PW1/EURO before adjusting
the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots properly on the
rear panel of the linear amplifier.
AVOID using or placing the linear amplifier or remote
controller in areas with temperatures below –10°C
(+14°F) or above +40°C (+104°F).
AVOID placing the linear amplifier or remote controller
in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID placing the linear amplifier against walls or
putting anything on top of the linear amplifier. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
BE CAREFUL! The linear amplifier will become hot
when operating if continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! Set the transceiver’s (exciter’s) RF
output power to less than 100 W, otherwise, the ICPW1/EURO will be damaged.
During maritime mobile operation, keep the linear
amplifier, remote controller and microphone as far
away as possible from the magnetic navigation compass to prevent erroneous indications.
The IC-PW1/EURO cannot be used with the AH-2
HF
AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER
.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device,
not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your
authority to operate this device under FCC regulations.
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the lin-
ear amplifier.

Push momentarily to turn power ON.
w TRANSMIT INDICATOR [TRANSMIT] (p. 16)
Lights green while transmitting.
During transmission, a humming may sound
depending on the output power. This is caused
by the large current produced by the power supply and does not indicate equipment malfunction.
e ANTENNA TUNER INDICATOR [TUNER] (p. 16)
• Lights while the antenna tuner is activated.
• Blinks while tuning and the SWR becomes 1.5:1
or greater on the 50 MHz band.
• Goes out after slow blinking when antenna turner
cannot tune the selected antenna (SWR 1.5:1 or
greater).
r ANTENNA TUNER SWITCH [TUNER] (p. 17)
• Turns the antenna tuner ON and OFF (bypass)
when pushed momentarily.
- The [TUNER] indicator lights while the antenna tuner is
activated; blinks while tuning.
- While operating in the 50 MHz band, the antenna
tuner does not start automatically. Push [TUNER] for
2 sec. to tune the antenna manually.
• Starts to tune the antenna manually when pushed
for 2 sec.
- When the tuner cannot tune the antenna (SWR 1.5:1
or greater), the tuning circuit is bypassed automatically after 20 sec.
t LINEAR AMPLIFIER SWITCH [AMP/PROTECT]
Turns the linear amplifier ON and OFF.
- The [AMP/PROTECT] indicator lights green when the
linear amplifier is ON. (p. 16)
- The [AMP/PROTECT] indicator lights red when the protector circuit is activated. (p. 17)
- When the linear amplifier is OFF, the [AMP/PROTECT]
does not light and the exciter’s signal is applied to one
of the output connectors or the IC-PW1/EURO’s anten-
na tuner.
y LOWER BAND SELECTOR [DOWN] (p. 16)
Selects the lower operating band when pushed.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the
delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the IC-PW1/EURO, see SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES on p. ii of this manual.
■ Ferrite core installation
The supplied cable ties (o in SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES) should be attached to the AC cable of the
IC-PW1/EURO as illustrated below.
NOTE: Only one ferrite core is attached with the ICPW1EURO.
■
OPC-853 AC cable with line filter
The IC-PW1EURO must be used with the OPC-853
AC cable to satisfy European R&TTE requirements.
■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the linear amplifier that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold,
or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electro-magnetic sources.
The linear amplifier and remote controller sections of
the IC-PW1/EURO can be separated. The remote
controller can be placed near the operator for easy
monitoring of linear amplifier conditions at any time.
See p. 10 for separation instructions.
The linear amplifier must be placed on a solid founda-
tion since it is very heavy.
■ AC power cable connection
A suitable AC power plug must be connected to the
AC power cable end. See the diagram below for connection procedures. AC input voltage is automatically
selected.
The IC-PW1/EURO can accept either 100–120 V AC
or 200–240 V AC power.* However, we recommend
using 200–240 V AC rather than 100–120 V AC for
better power supply efficiency and longer periods of
transmission.
* Europe version: 230 V AC only
DD
Single-phase 3-wire line (200–240 V AC)
q The green wire from the AC power cable must be
connected to the protective earth.
w The black and white wires from the AC power cable
can be connected to either terminal.
*Use the appropriate AC plug if required.
DD
Single-phase 2-wire line (100–120 V AC)
q The green wire from the AC power cable must be
connected to the protective earth.
w The black wire from the AC power cable must be
connected to the hot (live) wire.
e The white wire from the AC power cable must be
connected to the return wire.
DD
Three-phase 3-wire line (200–240 V AC)
q The green wire from the AC power cable must be
connected to the protective earth.
w The black and white wires from the AC power cable
can be connected to 2 of 3 wires.

secure the ferrite
core in place.
