Need help?Do you have a question about the TPL PA3-1FE and is the answer not in the manual?
Specifies the environmental operating limits for the amplifier, ranging from -30° to +60° Celsius.
Details the required DC input voltage range (11-15VDC) and its impact on power output performance.
States the typical current consumption (14 AMPS) and low standby current (<3 mA).
Defines the recommended duty cycle (40% for 70-140W output) to prevent damage.
Instructions on optimal amplifier placement, short coaxial cable runs, and proper antenna matching (SWR < 1.5:1).
Guidelines for wiring the DC connector directly to the battery using appropriate gauge wire and fuse protection.
Details connecting the transceiver to the RF INPUT and antenna to the RF OUTPUT using 50 Ohm coaxial cable.
Warning about painful and dangerous RF burns; disconnect power before making RF connections.
Caution against overdrive, which can damage transistors and void the warranty.
Ensuring supply voltage does not exceed 15 Volts DC to prevent amplifier damage.
Advice on mounting for airflow and avoiding obstructions to prevent overheating.
Importance of operating into a 50 Ohm load to maintain performance and lifespan.
Details the five-year warranty against defects and exclusions like misuse or improper installation.
Provides contact details for customer service, including phone numbers, fax, and email.
