4.1 ImportantOperationtips
Donotcoverrearorbottomventilationholes.ProperaircirculationthroughouttheANDROMEDA
Transceiverisnecessarytopreventpossibleoverheatingandfailure.
Theradioisfactorycalibratedto100Wintoa 50ohmDummyLoad.Operatingathigherlevelswill
damagetheradio.PleasereviewCCWandICASspecifications.
Data/AM/FM
andothercontinuousdutymodesmustbeoperatedat30Worlesstoremainwithin
theoperationallimitsoftheradio.
Inputvoltagemustbe13.8vdc+/‐5%,wellregulatedat30APeakandproperPOLARITYmustbe
observed.
DISCONNECTtheAntennaduringThunderstormsorwhennotinuse.
Please
ensurethatyouselectthecorrecthardwaremodelduringsoftwaresetup:ANAN‐7000DLE.
Installthesuppliedrubberfeetonthebottomofthecaseforpropercooling.
4.2 HeatDissipation
ANDROMEDAusesaheavydutyAluminiumheatsinktodissipateheatwithtemperaturecontrolled

ThePowerAmplifierMOSFETtransistorhascharacteristicsthatfarexceedtheneedsofnormal
Transceiveroperation.
4.3 QuickStart
Makesurethatyouhavethefollowingequipmentandaccessories:
 A13.8v30APowerSupply
 50OhmDummyloadcapableofatleast100Wloadcapacity
 DCPowerCable(Supplied)
 OptionalKeyboard/Mouse(eitherUSBorWireless)
 USB3.0HUB
WiththeRadioswitchedoff:
1. Connect
theKeyboard/MousetooneoftheUSBports,ifrequired
2. ConnecttheDCpowercabletothePowerPoleconnector.PleaseensurethattheREDside
correspondswiththePositivesupply.
3. ConnecttheprovidedUSB3.0hubtotheThunderboltconnectoronthebackpanel,theUSB
HUB
hasanHDMI/EthernetandfurtherUSBports.
4. ConnectthemonitortotheHDMIportontheUSB3.0HUB
5. ConnecttheDummyLoadtotheANT1connector.
6. SwitchontheRadio,youshouldseethepowerbuttonlightupandthentheinternalPC
booting.Oncewindows10
bootsandisreadydoubleclickontheThetisicontolaunchthe
SDR.
