Wiring everything together
Wiring things up and first power-up
Wiring the CyberMax series amplifier is easy, just make sure you read the previous chapter and setup antenna, cable and
exciter properly.
- Make sure your antenna is ok (low reflected power).
- Now connect the antenna cable to the amplifier. Even better is to use dummy load, if you have it.
- Connect the mains cable to the amplifier (do not power up yet)
- Connect the jumper cable between amplifier and signal generator / exciter
- Now power up the amplifier and wait for it to boot-up. It will wait in stand-by until RF signal appears.
- Set desired power in percentage with the big rotary button. Maybe 25% for a start.
- Power up the exciter and make sure it is set correctly (set expected drive power)
- If necessary disengage the stand-by mode (flip the switch at the front)
- Wait for the amplifier to ramp up the power to 25%.
- Let it run for some time. If everything looks good you can increase power to 50% or 100%.
- Make sure there is no unexpected above-normal heating of connectors, coax or anything else.
