INTRODUCTION
The Model 417A TITAN III is an advanced design linear amplifier using two
4CX800A high power tetrodes in a grid driven configuration. This amplifier uses
a ducted forced air cooling system and operates easily at 1500 watts output with
maximum efficiency of 65% .
Two panel meters provide system monitoring. One meter is dedicated to full
time plate current measurement. The other meter is switchable among plate
voltage, screen grid current, forward power, or reflected power.
Two front panel LEDs indicate overdrive conditions for the control grid and
screen grid circuits. Plate current overdrive trip is provided at 1.5 amps.
Band coverage includes 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15 meters as shipped from
the factory. With proof of authorization, 12 and 10 meters may be enabled with an
optional matching network from TEN-TEC (model # 417A-10).
Primary power of 240 VAC is required. Remember, tune-up at 1500 watts
output and 240 VAC line voltage can require up to 20 amps line current. The
TITAN III primary AC lines are fused at 20 amps. ABC-20 fuses or equivalent
must be used in replacement to protect the tubes. Interlocks on the high voltage
power supply are provided to ensure operator safety. NEVER DEFEAT THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS !!!!

UNPACKING
Carefully remove the amplifier from the packing carton and inspect it for signs of damage.
Carefully remove the high voltage power transformer from its’ packing carton and inspect it for
signs of damage. If the amplifier or transformer has been damaged, notify the delivering carrier
immediately, stating the full extent of the damage. Save all damaged cartons and packing
material. Liability for any shipping damage rests with the shipping carrier.
Complete the warranty registration form and mail to TEN-TEC immediately (include a copy of
your amateur radio license if you are requesting the 10 meter option). Save the packing material
for re-use in the event that moving, storage, or reshipment is necessary.
Shipment of your TITAN III in other than factory packing material may result in damage.
This is not covered under TEN-TEC warranty.

CHAPTER 1
INSTALLATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION: When setting up
the station, provide adequate ventilation for
the amplifier. Also, select a location that
allows comfortable access to the front
controls and adequate clearance for rear
panel connections.
1.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
The TITAN III amplifier draws up to 20
amps at 240 VAC. Care should be taken not
to overload house wiring circuits usually
fused or circuit breakered at 15 to 20 amps.
A straight run circuit with # 10 / 2 wire with
ground and breaker or fuses at 20 amps is
strongly advised. Do not connect the TITANIII to AC voltage until installation of HV
power transformer is completed.
1.3 HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER
INSTALLATION: DO NOT CONNECT
THE AC LINE CORD TO 240 VAC WALL
OUTLET BEFORE INSTALLATION OF
THE HV POWER TRANSFORMER.
Check to make sure the amplifier is
unplugged from the wall. Remove the top
cover of the amplifier. Note only 10 screws
were initially installed at the factory. This
was done to simplify your task. (If the cover
won’t come off, check for screws in the
underside bottom edges). Temporarily
remove the left side chassis rail (four longer
flat-head screws). There are four 10 x 32
nuts (TEN-TEC part #54005) in the packing
kit. You must use these to mount the
transformer and not the nuts in the
transformer shipping carton. Identify the
large open area in the chassis where the
transformer mounts. Note the location of
the four threaded studs in the chassis. Start
two nuts on only the two studs closest to the
center of the amplifier chassis. Just “start”
the two nuts, engaging only a few threads.
Orient the transformer with the two wire HV
lead side of the transformer coil toward the
center chassis shield. Being careful not to
disturb the printed circuit board behind the
meters, align the slots in the transformer
bottom mounting bracket under the two nuts
that you just installed. Slide the transformer
toward the center shield until the studs are
seated in the transformer mounting slots
about midway. Align the slots in the other
bottom mounting bracket with the two
remaining studs in the floor of the chassis
near the outside of the amp. Install the two
remaining nuts on the open studs. Using a
long nut driver or socket, tighten all four
nuts. Connect the two wire HV cable to the
socket on the HV rectifier board A2 (81944)
mounted on the center shield. Note the plug
will seat properly in the socket in one
direction only. Visually inspect the
connection for proper seating. Connect the
four wire primary cable to the four wire
cable extending from the rear chassis area
near the smaller low voltage transformer.
Again this plug will only seat properly in
one direction. Care should be taken when
re-installing the side rail and top cover not to
pinch this cable. Excess cable length may
be looped and tucked between the side rail
and fan housing scroll. Remember to install
all 34 screws in the top cover when reassembling. The extras you need are in the
packing kit. To access the five screws along
each bottom edge, carefully tilt the amplifier
on it’s side or slide it to the edge of the table
and work from below.
Never ship or transport the amplifier with
the transformer installed !!! Serious
damage to the chassis may result.

1.4 TRANSCEIVER
INTERCONNECTIONS: When using the
TITAN III with TEN-TEC transceivers with
TX EN and TX OUT connectors, follow the
diagram in Figure 1-1. The QSK-PTT/VOX
switch on the TITAN III should be in the
QSK position for all modes of operation.
This hook-up arrangement will work with
the OMNI series, PARAGON I and II,
PEGASUS, JUPITER, and ORION. Some
modern Yaesu transceivers are also
equipped with a full break-in keying loop
that can be utilized in a similar fashion. If
you are unsure about connecting this
equipment, please contact the TEN-TEC
factory for instructions.
When connecting the TITAN III with all
other transceivers, use the diagram in Figure
1-2. Note that the key or keyer must be
connected to the KEY IN jack on the
TITAN III, a cable is run from KEY OUT
to the key input jack on your transceiver,
and the line from the external T/R N.O.
relay contacts on the transceiver must be
connected to the PTT/QSK jack on the
TITAN III. When using this configuration,
the QSK-PTT/VOX switch on the amplifier
must be in the PTT/VOX position for SSB
operation and in the QSK position for CW
operation.
1.5 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS:
The TITAN III amplifier is designed for use
with antennas resonant at the frequency of
operation and having an impedance within
the limit of 25 to 100 ohms, or an SWR of
2:1 or less (<10% reflected power). Note
that any SWR other than 1:1 will result in
TUNE and LOAD settings different from
those in the manual reference chart (Figure
2-1). The nominal load impedance of the
amplifier is 50 ohms. Antennas can exhibit
an SWR of more than 2:1 in some part of the
band. For operation under these conditions,
we recommend using an antenna matching
network that will enable the TITAN III to
work into a 50 ohm load for maximum
power transfer to the antenna.
CAUTION!!!
Never attempt to operate the TITAN III
without first connecting a suitable
antenna or 50 ohm resistive load of
sufficient power rating or
SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY RESULT!
1.6 GROUND CONNECTION: In the
interest of personal safety and to reduce the
possibility of stray RF pickup on
interconnecting cables, all station equipment
should be well grounded to earth and to
supply line ground bus. It is important to
strap all equipment chassis together with
short heavy leads. This ground bus may
then be tied to an external earth grounding
rod.
1.7 HIGH POWER OPERATION: The
TITAN III amplifier operates comfortably
at a maximum of 1500 watts output. New
owners often find that other components in
their station may not. Before operating at
this power level, be certain to check the
following items:
1. The coax from the TITAN III to the
feed point of your antenna must be
top quality RG-8 or better. We
recommend silver plated connectors
rather than chrome plated
connectors. Make sure that all coax
connectors are tight.
2. All coax switches or relays in the
feed line must be rated at 1500 watts
or higher. NEVER ACTIVATE INLINE SWITCHES WHILE
TRANSMITTING.
3. Verify that the components in your
antennas are rated for the TITAN III
maximum power levels (dipole
center insulator, end insulators,
baluns, traps, etc.) Make sure that
all radiating sections are well clear
of metallic objects such as rain
gutters and antenna supporting
1-2
Page 12
structures. For the first few hours of
operation, check the SWR
frequently. Any increase in
reflected power is an indication that
something between the amplifier and
the antenna elements, including the
end insulators, is heating and must
be corrected.
4. A solid earth ground is often
essential. Every station will have a
unique electrical ground due to
location of equipment, distance
between units, distance from house
wiring ground rod, distance from RF
ground rod, etc. Keep equipment
ground straps as short and thick as
possible and RF ground rod as close
to the station as possible.
5. If you use an antenna tuner, make all
SWR/matching adjustments with the
TITAN III in the STANDBY mode
using transceiver low power only.
6. If any of your home entertainment
electronic devices have RF leaks, the
TITAN III may find them. If you
are not familiar with standard
procedure for controlling this type of
interference, consult the ARRL
Radio Frequency Interference
Manual.
depending on input RF drive level. A
negative output voltage will be present at the
ALC jack only when the TITAN III is in the
OPERATE mode and the input RF drive is
above the threshold setting. Leave this
control fully clockwise if you have no
requirement for external ALC.
1.9 COOLING SYSTEM: The TITAN III
uses a pressurized cabinet with the main air
intake through the right front side of the
chassis and exhaust through the tube
chimneys on the right rear top of the
amplifier. It is safe to operate the amplifier
as long as there are no impediments to the
flow of air near the air intakes and/or the
exhaust.
1.8 ALC: Most solid state transceivers do
not provide connection for ALC input and it
is unnecessary to make any external ALC
connection to these rigs. The ALC output
jack is used primarily with tube-type
transmitters or transceivers with a negative
going ALC system. The ALC ADJUST
control is used to set the threshold for proper
ALC action. This is -1 to -15 VDC

CHAPTER 2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 INTRODUCTION: The following
instructions will enable the operator to quickly
place the TITAN III in operation. Included are
descriptions of the front panel controls and rear
panel connections, followed by a detailed tuneup procedure. Refer to Chapter 3 operation and
safety tips.
2.2 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: The front
panel controls and their functions are described
below.
2.2.1 BAND SWITCH: This switch selects the
desired frequency of operation. This is a ten
position switch that covers the 160 meter to 10
meter bands. NOTE: A built-in switch stop
prevents operation in the 10 and 12 meter bands.
For 10 and 12 meter operation you must contact
the factory for an authorized modification kit.
2.2.2 TUNE: This control adjusts variable
capacitor C1 to provide resonance at the
operating frequency. Figure 2-1 shows the
approximate settings for both the TUNE and
LOAD controls on each band. Keep in mind
that the settings in this chart are for operation
into an ideal 50 ohm resistive load. There is
also a blank log chart that you may use to record
the actual control settings for your antennas.
2.2.3 LOAD: This control adjusts variable
capacitor C2 for the proper amplifier output
loading. See Figure 2-1.
2.2.4 POWER: This switch routes the AC line
to the primary of the low voltage supply. When
on, the TITAN III will power up and the
indicator light in the POWER switch will light.
2.2.5 OPERATE/STANDBY: This switch,
when in the OPERATE position, places the
amplifier online. When in the STANDBY
position, the amplifier is bypassed and only
the transceiver power is routed to the
antenna. When in the OPERATE position,
the indicator light in the switch will light.
NOTE: No high voltage will be read on the
metering when this switch is in STANDBY.
The OPERATE/STANDBY switch also
serves as the plate current trip-off circuit
reset switch. At 1.5 amps plate current, the
plate current trip-off circuitry will activate.
The lighted segment of the
OPERATE/STANDBY switch will go out
when plate current trip-off has occurred. To
reset, switch back to STANDBY and
immediately back to OPERATE. The
lighted segment of the switch should now be
lit again and the amplifier is ready to use.
2.2.6 QSK/PTT: This switch, when in the
QSK position, configures the key circuits for
CW/QSK operation. For late model TENTEC transceivers with TX EN and TX OUT
connectors, or late model Yaesu transceivers
connected using a full break-in keying loop,
this position is used for all modes of
operation. Placing the switch in the PTT
position allows the TITAN III to be
controlled by the PTT/VOX input jack
rather than the KEY IN/KEY OUT loop.
2.2.7 MULTIMETER SWITCH: This
switch connects the right hand meter to
monitor various amplifier parameters.
A. Plate voltage (Ep) - When in this
position, the meter reads plate voltage.
This voltage is line voltage dependent
at a ratio of 12.5 V plate per 1 V line.
Plate voltage is approximately 3000
VDC at a line voltage of 240 VAC.
Therefore, at a line voltage of 250
2-1
Page 15
VAC the meter will read a little higher
(3125 VDC).
B. Screen current (Is) - When in this position,
the meter is paralleled with a resistor in
series with the screen supply. This
monitors screen grid current. The upper
limit for screen current is 75 mA.
NEVER OPERATE THE TITAN III IN
EXCESS OF 75 mA SCREEN GRID
CURRENT. A warning zone indicator is
used on the face of the meter to alert the
operator. In addition to the analog meter,
the screen overdrive LED indicates
excessive screen current.
C. Forward power (FWD) - When in this
position, the meter is connected to the
forward port of a bridge circuit at the
antenna output. This measures forward
RF output power. It is, however, more
load dependent than an external
wattmeter. If your antenna is far from
resonance, the accuracy is not as good and
power measurements should be made
externally.
D. Reflected power (REF) - When in this
position, the meter is connected to the
reverse port of the bridge at the antenna
output. Reflected power is read at 1/10
indication scale of forward power (200
watts full scale).
2.2.8 PLATE CURRENT METER:
Full time plate current metering is provided
by the left analog meter.
2.2.9 OVERDRIVE: These two LEDs indicate
grid overdrive conditions.
A. When the screen overdrive LED is lit, the
screen current is approaching or has passed its
limit. Reduce drive from the transceiver
immediately and retune.
B. When the control grid overdrive LED is
lit, the control grid current is approaching or has
passed its limit. Reduce drive from the
transceiver immediately and retune.
2.2.10 WAIT: This LED indicates a 3 minute
warm-up period for the tube at initial power up.
After being turned on for 3 minutes, the wait
LED goes out and the TITAN III can be
placed in the operate mode.
2.2.11 PEAK POWER BARGRAPH:
This meter is connected to the bridge at the
antenna output through an emitter follower
to monitor peak RF output power. When the
red LED is lit, 1500 watts output has been
reached.
2.3 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
AND CONTROLS: The rear panel
connections and their functions are
described below.
2.3.1 TRANSCEIVER: This is a standard
SO-239 receptacle designed for a mating
PL-259 plug. RG-58U or similar 50 ohm
coax is required to connect the TITAN III to
the transceiver.
2.3.2 ANTENNA: This is a standard SO239 receptacle designed for a mating PL-259
plug. RG-8 or similar 50 ohm coax rated for
1500 watts is required for connection to the
antenna.
2.3.3 KEY IN: This jack is the input for
the TITAN III transmit/receive relay
system. When used with late model TENTEC transceivers, this jack is connected to
the TX OUT connector on the transceiver.
When used with other transceivers, a key or
keyer is connected to this jack for QSK CW
operation.
2.3.4 KEY OUT: This jack is a protected
output from the TITAN III which passes the
KEY IN to the transceiver after all relays in
the TITAN III have closed and it is ready to
transmit. When used with late model TENTEC transceivers, this jack is connected to
the TX EN connector on the transceiver.
When used with other transceivers, this jack
is connected to the transceiver CW key input
jack.
2.3.5 PTT/VOX: This jack is an input to
the TITAN III transmit/receive relay
2-2
Page 16
circuits. When used with late model TEN-TEC
transceivers, this jack is not used. When used
with other transceivers, this jack is connected to
the normally open (grounding) contacts of the
relay key out jack of the transceiver.
2.5 TUNE UP PROCEDURE: The
following section describes important points
to observe during tune up. A suggested
procedure for safely tuning up the TITANIII is included.
2.3.6 ALC: This jack provides a negative going
ALC voltage, used primarily with tube type
transmitters/transceivers. See section 1.8 for
detailed information.
2.3.7 ALC CONTROL: This control adjusts
the ALC threshold voltage from approximately 1 to -15 VDC depending on RF input from the
transceiver.
2.3.8 AC LINE: This cable is connected to
standard 240 VAC. Be sure the line used to
power the TITAN III is capable of supplying 20
amps of current at 240 VAC, and that it is
protected by either fuses or circuit breakers of
20 amps. Wire size of the AC feed line should
be at least 10/2 with ground or larger.
2.3.9 LINE FUSES: Primary line fuses (ABC-
20) are accessible through these panel fuse
holders. Replace with ABC-20 or comparable
fuses only.
2.4 INITIAL TURN-ON: The following
steps should be followed when turning on your
TITAN III.
A. Set multimeter switch to the plate voltage
(Ep) position.
B. Place the power switch to ON. If any of
the following do not occur, press OFF at
once and investigate before proceeding.
1. The power switch light should light.
2. The meter lights should light.
3. The fan motor should start and air
flow should be felt at the exhaust port
on top of the amplifier.
4. The wait LED should light.
5. All meter indications are zero.
6. All other LEDs are not lit.
NOTE: HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT ONLY
IN THE OPERATE MODE. THE OPERATE
MODE IS DISABLED FOR 3 MINUTES
WHILE THE WAIT LED IS LIT.
2.5.1 CHECKS TO MAKE BEFORE
TUNING UP: Check the load connected to
the amplifier. This can best be done by
leaving the TITAN III in the BYPASS
mode and using only the transceiver output
power. Use a reliable SWR bridge or
wattmeter to determine the SWR of the load
(antenna) connected to the amplifier. If the
reflected power is less than 10% of the
forward power, the VSWR is less than 2:1.
If the reflected power is 4% or less, the
VSWR is 1.5:1 or lower. A VSWR of 2:1 or
less is essential.
2.5.2 IMPORTANT POINTS TO
REMEMBER: The most important
parameters to observe during tune up are the
control grid current and screen grid current.
Excessive grid current even for a relatively
short period of time can and will damage the
tube. If grid currents are not exceeded, the
4CX800A tubes will deliver many years of
trouble free service. In the TITAN III the
control grid is monitored by front panel
LED indicator. When control grid current is
exceeded, the GRID overdrive LED will
light. Reduce the drive immediately and
retune the TITAN III. Screen grid current is
monitored by the multimeter, (when in the Is
position) and by an LED overdrive indicator
continuously. Screen grid current should be
kept to a minimum during tune up and
always in a positive direction. When screen
current is exceeded the SCREEN overdrive
LED will light. Reduce drive immediately
and retune. After tune up, erratic lighting of
either overdrive indicator could indicate
breakdown in the load (antenna
components). Reduce drive and check for
arcing or heating of baluns, coax or other
elements. Brief blinks of the LEDs at initial
power-on or key-down are OK.
2-3
Page 17
2.5.3 SUGGESTED TUNE UP
PROCEDURE: Following is the
recommended procedure for safe and proper
tune up of the TITAN III.
A. Set the band switch to the desired band.
For 160 meter operation between 1.9 and
2.0 MHz, use position 160B.
B. Set the multimeter switch to the Ep
position.
C. After the wait LED goes out, place the
STANDBY/OPERATE switch to
OPERATE. The STANDBY/ OPERATE
switch will light and high voltage is
indicated on the multimeter (nominal
3000 VDC).
D. Set the meter switch to the Is position.
Always monitor Is (screen grid current)
with the multimeter during tune up. Use
FWD and REF positions momentarily for
checking output power. Output power
can also be monitored on the LED
bargraph power meter. Always monitor
the overdrive LEDs. Reduce drive and retune the amplifer if either is lit.
E. For initial tune up you may set the TUNE
and LOAD controls to their center
positions. Alternatively you may refer to
the suggested settings in the chart in
Figure 2-1. Keep in mind that these
settings are for operation into an ideal 50
ohm load and will vary with your
installation.
F. Turn the transceiver RF output control to
between 10 and 20 watts. Note: at very
low transceiver power outputs (<10 watts)
the amplifier may not respond when
attempting to tune up. This is normal.
Increase drive power slightly and continue
tune up. IF AT ANY TIME THE TITANIII DOES NOT RESPOND AS
EXPECTED, REMOVE DRIVE POWER
IMMEDIATELY AND CORRECT THE
PROBLEM BEFORE CONTINUING.
G. Key the transceiver and slowly increase
the drive power until you see the plate
current increase.
H. Adjust the TUNE and LOAD controls for
a peak in RF power output. Increase the
drive power until screen current appears
and adjust the TUNE control for a
peak in screen grid current. Adjust
the LOAD control clockwise to
reduce screen grid current if it is being
driven above 60 mA at your desired
power output. Always re-peak the
screen current and RF output with the
TUNE control after any LOAD
control adjustments. Watch the plate
current meter during tune up. If the
plate current is much over 1.0 Amp at
the TUNE control Is/RF peak, reduce
loading with a small counterclockwise rotation of the LOAD
control (toward higher numbers on the
dial skirt) and re-peak the TUNE.
Remember: Readjust the TUNE
control for a screen grid current and
power output peak each time you
adjust the LOAD control. There will
be some interaction between these
controls. Too-high peaked screen
current can always be reduced at the
expense of higher plate current by
increasing the loading (clockwise
LOAD adjustment).
I. Gradually increase the drive level
from the transceiver until you reach
the desired output power level while
carefully touching up the LOAD and
TUNE controls until both plate and
screen currents read at or slightly
above mid-scale. Screen grid current
of 45 to 60 milliamps is normal for
1500 watts output. NEVER EXCEED
75 MILLIAMPS SCREEN GRID
CURRENT.
J. Once you have the amplifier tuned up
and operating on the desired
frequency, you can log the LOAD and
TUNE settings in the chart provided

repeatable for the same frequency,
antenna, and SWR when used in the
future.

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION AND SAFETY
3.1 INTRODUCTION: The following paragraphs provide additional information for operation
of and safety from your TITAN III amplifier.
3.1.1 HIGH POWER TETRODES: The 4CX800As are very rugged and normally operate
with a large margin of safety in the TITAN III. They will deliver outstanding service for many
years if not damaged by abuse...especially excessive grid current or blockage of cooling air flow.
KEEP THE AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST VENT AREAS
COMPLETELY CLEAR !!!
WARNING !!! DO NOT ALLOW THE SCREEN GRID CURRENT TO
EXCEED 75 mA!
3.1.2 INTERLOCKS: The TITAN III is equipped with interlock switches intended to shut off
the power and short out the high voltage power supply when the cover is not securely fastened in
place. These protective interlocks are provided to protect you from POTENTIALLY FATAL
ELECTRIC SHOCK resulting from accidental contact with lethal voltages inside the amplifier.
However, you should never depend on interlocks alone to protect you by removing dangerous
voltages. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AC LINE CABLE TO THE TITAN III BEFORE
REMOVING THE TOP COVER.
WARNING !! THE AMPLIFIER SHOULD NEVER BE
ENERGIZED WITH THE COVERS REMOVED!!
DO NOT DEFEAT THE INTERLOCK SAFETY
SWITCHES!!
3.1.3 FUSES: Except in rare instances of component failure, blowing one or both primary fuses
indicates that maximum safe average power capabilities of the amplifier have been exceeded.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
5.1 INTRODUCTION The following sections contain detailed circuit board subassemblies
used in the Model 417A. Also included are circuit trace drawings and detailed component
layout diagrams. These drawings are followed by a schematic diagram for the complete
amplifier.
5.2 INPUT MATCHING BOARD A6
(81946)
filter, impedance matching networks,
ALC
The 15M INPUT FILTER BOARD A7
(81953) is the standard input filter shipped
with the TITAN III. This is a five pole
elliptic filter consisting of L1, L2, L3, C1,
C2, and C3. This filter provides increased
roll-off of frequencies above the 15 meter
band. An optional 15/10M INPUT
FILTER BOARD A8 (81954) is available
from TEN-TEC to qualified amateur radio
operators, upon receipt of a copy of their
amateur radio license.
This board contains the input
and
circuits.
Note: Operation on the 10 or 12 meter
bands will also require additional
modifications to the bandswitch
assembly. Please contact the factory for
instructions or further information.
The impedance matching network of
R4–R12 and L3 on assembly A6 matches
the input of the 4CX800As to the driver
impedance of approximately 50 Ohms.
The ALC circuit on A6 samples the
input RF power to the amplifier. A6D1
rectifies this sample and produces a
negative voltage proportional to input
power for control of some exciters. The
ALC threshold is set by potentiometer
A11R52, located on the rear panel. Turn
this control fully clockwise if ALC is not
used.
H.V. POWER SUPPLY BOARD A2 (81944) This board contains the high voltage rectifier
bridge (D1 – D20), H.V. filters (C1 – C8 and C14), and H.V. meter circuits.

Page 29
5.4 SCREEN SUPPLY AND GRID BIAS BOARD A10 (81950) This board contains the
screen supply, grid bias supply, and protective circuits for the 4CX800As. The screen
voltage is rectified by diodes D4 – D7 and filtered by C1 – C3 and C15. This DC voltage is
then regulated by pass element Q8. Load resistors R25 – R27 provide a current drain to
insure screen current remains in the positive direction. MOV Z1 protects the power supply in
the event of tube arc and insures the screen voltage can’t surge above 450 VDC. R23
provides a voltage drop proportional to the screen current to drive the front panel screen
current meter.
Grid bias voltage is rectified by D13, then filtered by C10. Q1 senses the key condition
and via Q2 and Q4 switches zener diodes D2, D8 and D16 in during key down and out during
key up. This zeners the bias voltage to approximately –55 VDC during TX and –100 VDC in
RX. Due to differences in tubes, J21 allows adjustment of grid bias in 4 settings:
-47VPins 1 and 3 shorted
-55VPins 2 and 3 shorted
-60VPins 1 and 2 shorted
-68Vno pins shorted
This adjustment is factory set to match the tubes shipped with the amp. If the tubes are ever
replaced, the jumper setting should be selected to produce approximately 200 – 400 mA of
plate current when keyed with no drive. The circuitry of Q7 senses grid current and begins to
fold back grid bias toward cutoff as grid power approaches 2 watts. Zener diode D1 provides
regulation for the negative 16 VDC power supply to run the meter circuits on the meter
switch board and the relay hot-shot circuit on the SWR board.
5.5 QSK BOARD A11 (81949) This board contains the low voltage supply, turn-on relay
sequencing circuits, and T/R relay control.
The low voltage is rectified by D1 – D4 and filtered by C6. U1 and Q2 provide regulation
for all low voltage circuits except the negative 16 VDC supply.
After a 3 minute warm-up period determined by RC time constant of R4 and C5, Q19 and
Q11 will conduct, turning on the pass element Q5. This initiates amplifier power up.
When the STANDBY/ OPERATE switch is put in the OPERATE position, this voltage is
applied to relay sequencing circuits Q3, Q6, Q4 and Q10. These circuits insure plate and
screen voltages arrive at and leave the tube in the proper order.
Q20 senses plate current and disables the amplifier when plate current parameters are
exceeded (such as excessive plate current during a tube arc). Both plate voltage and screen
voltage are removed when plate current of 1.5A is reached.
The QSK CONTROL CIRCUIT consists of Q12-Q18 and Q21-Q23. This circuit samples
input key requests, standby/operate modes, power on/off state, state of output relay, and RF
presence at the antenna connection and input of the amp. Hot switch protection is provided
regardless of mode. In the QSK mode, using the key in / key out loop, the key in request
from the transceiver is tailored by the QSK CONTROL circuit to insure smooth QSK action
of the input and output relays.
K2 senses power OFF or STANDBY and places the key circuit in bypass for exciter
operation in barefoot mode.
K3 senses OPERATE mode and routes the key request to the amplifier control circuits.
K4 passes the “key in” to the KEY OUT jack when all relays are closed and ready for RF.

5.8 METER/SWITCH BOARD A12 (81947) and DISPLAY BOARD A13 (81952)
This board contains the metering circuits for the front panel meters. A12S1 selects the
parameter to be monitored. This selection is then sent to multimeter M1. The multimeter has
three calibrated scales for measuring plate voltage, screen current and forward or reflected
RF power. The KW scale should be divided by ten when measuring reflected power.
A12U1 samples screen and control grid current and drives the appropriate LED to indicate
excessive current of either screen or control grid. Q1 samples forward RF power voltage
from the SWR board. This voltage is peak-held by C8 and sent to U2 to drive the peak
reading display LEDs on DISPLAY BOARD A13.
5.9AC LINE DELAY BOARD A9 (81945) This board contains the step start relays and
associated circuitry to control inrush current while the H.V. filter capacitors charge.
