CAUTION!
Check the amplifier upon receipt for visible damage. If any is noticed, please call TPL at 800 HI POWER to
request an RMA number (Return Material Authorization). If purchased through a dealer, ask them to follow this
procedure for best results.
EXPENSIVE COMPONENTS MAY BE DESTROYED IF THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED ON IN A
DAMAGED CONDITION.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: This amplifier produces RF voltages that can cause painful and dangerous RF
burns. Use caution! Connect and disconnect all RF connectors with the AC power and drive
power off.
DRIVE POWER: RF power transistors, although quite rugged in most respects, are easily
damaged by overdrive. Be careful no to overdrive this amplifier, even for an instant. Higher than
rated drive power may destroy the transistors and VOID ANY WARRANTY.
TERMINATIONS: The parameters of this amplifier will degrade if it is operated into anything
but a 50 Ohm load. That may mean any, or all, of the following; lower power output, increased
current drain, higher operating temperature, lower efficiency and reduced lifetime.
