Summary

Certificate of Conformity

Introduction

HLV-550 Specifications and Performance

Details on frequency range, gain, power limit, and performance metrics like spectral purity and IMD.

Safety instructions

General Safety Precautions

Covers high frequency energy, mains connection, user qualifications, operating environment, and duty cycle limits.

Electrical connections

Mains Voltage and Frequency Requirements

Specifies permitted mains voltages (180-260V AC) and frequencies (50-60 Hz) for operation.

RF Connector and Cable Guidelines

Details on using N-type connectors, PTFE insulation, and proper cable handling to prevent damage.

Warranty

Warranty Coverage and Exclusions

Outlines the 2-year warranty, conditions that invalidate it, and specific damages excluded.

Front panel operation

Power Switch and Status Indicators

Explains how to turn on the amplifier, the 'ON'-LED, and the power-on sequence.

Preamp Control and Functionality

Describes activating external preamplifiers via the 'PREAMP' switch and its voltage supply.

Standby Mode Operation

Details the 'STANDBY' function, its effect on the RF unit, and associated indicator LEDs.

Protection circuits

Protection Circuit Activation and Reset

Explains how protection circuits activate (LEDs, sound), their triggers, and how to reset the unit.

Overload and Overheat Protection Triggers

Details triggers like reflected power, overdrive, and overheating (>55°C) that shut down the RF unit.

Transmit operation

RX;TX Switching and PTT Activation

Explains how PTT or ground on the 'CONTROL' jack activates RX/TX switching.

Amplifier Sequencing and PTT Function

Describes the internal sequencer, PTT function, and voltage supply for MOSFETs.

SSB Input Power and Compression Limits

Advises on input power limits for SSB to maintain spectral purity and avoid distortion.

REMOTE control

Remote Control Functions and Wiring

Details remote control of functions (RESET, PREAMP, PTT) via an external switch wired to ground.

Output Power Monitoring via 7-pin DIN

Explains output power monitoring via 10V DC on Pin 5 of the 7-pin DIN plug.

Cooling technique

Blower Control and Airflow Management

Describes temperature-controlled axial blowers and increased airflow during TX operation.

Cooling Attention and Duty Cycle Limits

Warns against covering inlets/outlets and specifies duty cycle limits for safe operation.

Block diagram

Amplifier Functional Components

Illustrates the main blocks: power supply, RF amplifier, couplers, and control board.

Adjustment of protection thresholds

Protection Threshold Trimpot Adjustments

Guides on adjusting trimpots for protection circuits, emphasizing careful clockwise/counter-clockwise adjustments.
