Automatic
control
–
when connected
to a transceiver with CAT capability, the amplier will track
the operating frequency, and will change bands accordingly.
•
Even
if
not
CAT connected,
the amplier monitors the input signal frequency through the built-in
frequency counter and automatically switches bands.
•
Remotely controlled by
RS232
port.
•
Takes
care
of
itself
during
operation
via continuously
working
protection
circuits
in
all
modes.
•
The operator
can
monitor
more
than
10 parameters of the amplier in operation.
•
Easy
maintenance
–
detailed
data
(55
parameters)
about each of the last 28 hard-fault protection
trips is stored in
the
amplier’s
memory.
•
Convenient for expeditions and eld operation due to the extremely compact and lightweight
construction and the built-in switching-mode power supply (SMPS) that operates with extended
mains voltage range of 93-265VAC,
with
no
internal switch
over.
The
consumed
current
is
purely
sinusoidal,
Power
Factor
Corrected
(PFC)
andinrush limited. This makes the operation
from unstable mains and generators easy and troublefree.
•
Perfect electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with both highly sensitive devices and the powerful
devices
in
the
radio
station
(receivers,
computers,
other
ampliers)
exceeding
the
standard
EMC requirements due to the used PFC and built-in radio-frequency lters.

Safety considerations, explicit denitions
The ACOM 700S linear amplier is a Class I apparatus regarding protection against electric shock, i.e.
the third grounding lead of its mains cord (colored yellow with two green stripes) and the grounding stud
on the rear panel, marked GND (Fig. 2-1), must be connected to the grounding system of the shack for
safe operation.
The ACOM 700S amplier is designed to meet international safety standards and complies with the CE
electromagnetic compatibility requirements, as well as the FCC regulations.
This
operating
manual
contains
precautions,
cautions,
and
warnings
that
MUST
BE
CОMPLIED
TO
by the user to ensure safe operation and maintaining of the ACOM 700S amplier in a safe working
condition.
