PJ500M-C 5. Installation and Use This chapter is intended to summarize the necessary point for the installation of the device. In case any of the arguments is unclear, for example when you use it for the first time, please read carefully the whole manual.
PJ500M-C ATTENTION: It is essential that the unit is properly earthed to ensure both the safety of operation as well as the correct working of the equipment. 5.2 Operation Switch the amplifier on and verify the green "ON" LED being lit. The LCD display will indicate a first screen of presentation of the amplifier and next it will switch to a screen indicating the forward and reflected power.
PJ500M-C Normally, the device doesn’t require any human supervision for its normal operation. If any alarm condition arise, these are automatically managed by the embedded protection system, and notified to the user with the LEDs on the panel or via messages on the LCD display.

The power supply are housed in the left side of the amplifier. The Switching Power Supply is mounted on a heats that allows its cooling through forced ventilation. Housed inside to the PJ500M-C the are two transformers, both having a selectable input for voltages of 110 and 220 Volt.
PJ500M-C VDC=50V Vgs=3.5V Idq=200mA The active device employed is a Mosfet (the newer version uses SD2932, the older version uses BLF278). Wilkinson Splitter and Combiner Both the splitter and the combiner are realized in Strip-Line technology". The Splitter Card is used to split the RF power of the exciter and provide half of it to each R.F.
This optional device is designed to interface to the telemetry connector of the PJ500M-C/LCD, and its main role is to give to the user a number of dry contacts related to the status of the amplifier. The contacts can be configured as normally open or closed, and are triggered by the four user settable thresholds plus LOC/ REM, WAIT, FAULT, ON, OFF, INHIBIT.
PJ500M-C 8.13 PFC Switching Power Supply (optional) This optional module, replaces the assembly composed by the main transformer, the soft start board and the standard switching power supply. The data sheet of the module is included in the appendix of this manual.
This part of the manual contains the technical details about the different boards of the PJ500M-C LCD. This appendix is composed of the following sections: Esta parte del manual contiene los detalles técnicos a cerca de las diferentes tarjetas del PJ500M-C LCD.
