Cubic SWAN SS-15 User Manual

The
transceiver
can be
nodified
fron a
SS-15
to
either
a
Model
SS-100 or SS-200
at any tine following
purchase.
The SS-100
or
SS-200 RF Anplifier is
mounted
in
place
on
the
rear
panel,
taking
care that the
power
connector
for
the
RF Amplifier is
properly
seated
and
connecting
the
input and output coax
cables.
(See
Figure 2),
The
coaxial
jumper
cable used
for
the
SS-15
must be
removed.
(If
the
jumper
is left
connected
and a SS-100 or
SS-200
RF
Amplifier
is
mounted in
place
on
the
rear
panel,
the trans-
ceiver
will
operate as
a- SS-15 but will
+o!
give
any ALC
indica-
tion or control
and
can
be easily oil6itlirven
causr.ng
distortion
and
possible
pernanent
danage). The
transceiver
can also
be
modified from
?
SS-100 to
a SS-200 by
just
replacing the
RF
Amplifier with the correct
unit.
POWER
SOURCE
When using
a Swan
power
supply with the
transceiver,
plug
the
output cable
from
the
power
supply into the
DC
PWR connector
on
the- rear
panel
of the
transceiver.
Connect
the
lrower
supply
AC
cord to 120
VAC. It should
be
noted that
the
Models SS-15
and
SS-100
transceivers
require the
Swan
Model
PS-10
powelr supply
and
tlie
Model SS-200
transceiver
requires
a Swan
Model"
PS-20
power
supply.
A
power
supply
or a battery
source of,
IZ to
15
volts DC
(negative
grbund)
is'ieQuired.
Undei"
no circunstance
should the
input voltage
6e al1or^red to
-exceed
15 volts.
Unreliable
transceiver
performance
nay
occur
if
the input
voltage
drops nuch below
17, volts.
-
Voltage
regulation at the
DC
PWR
connector
should
be such
that
under
full
load
the
input
voltage
at the connector
would be
greater
than
11
volts and
with little
or no load the
input
voltage
would be
no
more
than
15 volts.
In order
to obtain
specified
transceiver
per-
formance
as
listed in
the transceiver
I
s
specification
,
13.5
volts
is required
at the
DC
PWR
connector
at fu1l
load.
It is recommended
that
fu1l
power
output
in the
CW
mode by
used
for full
load
-during
vo,ltage re-gulation
measurernents.
The
following
table
provides. the
naximum
cuirent
requirements
for
the
three transceivers
in
various
operational
nodes.
-
The
proper
DC
PWR connector
voltage
and
speaker
connections are
shown in
Figure 3.
