2 1 P ANEL DESCRIPTION q POWER SWITCH [POWER] (p. 12) Push momentarily to turn power ON. w TRANSMIT INDICA TOR [TRANSMIT] (p. 16) Lights green while transmitting. During transmission, a humming may sound depending on the output power . This is caused by the large current produced by the power sup- ply and does not indicate equipment malfunc- tion.
3 1 P ANEL DESCRIPTION ■ Rear panel q OUTPUT ANTENNA CONNECTORS [ANT1] – [ANT4] (p. 6) Accept a 50 Ω antenna with a PL-259 connector . w ACCESSOR Y SOCKET -1 [ACC-1] ACCESSOR Y SOCKET -2 [ACC-2] Enable connection to Icom exciters (transceivers).
4 1 P ANEL DESCRIPTION D ACC-1 SOCKET D ACC-2 SOCKET (w/[EXCITER] is “ 1 ” ) The following descriptions are applied when the [EXCITER] switch is set to “ 1 ” (default). When [EXCITER] is set to “ 1&2, ” [ACC-2] functions the same as [ACC-1] above for the 2nd exciter .
5 2 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS ■ Unpacking After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the delivering carrier or dealer . Keep the shipping cartons. For a description and a diagram of accessory equip- ment included with the IC-PW1/EURO, see SUP- PLIED ACCESSORIES on p.
■ Grounding T o prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob- lems, ground the linear amplifier through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod.
■ System interconnections 1 or 2 Icom 100 W HF transceivers can be connected as exciters to the IC-PW1/EURO. Non-Icom trans- ceivers can be used, however , band selection will not be synchronized for each exciter . See the following diagrams for making connections between the IC-PW1/EURO and an exciter (transceiv- er).
8 2 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS • Using a 13-pin ACC socket (IC-706 series) IC-PW1/EURO Ground Coaxial cable (supplied) ACC cable (supplied) Remote control cable (supplied) To an antenna ANT ACC-.
9 2 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS • Using 1 Icom and 1 non-Icom exciters (transceivers) NOTE: The speci fi cations for the SEND relay are 5 V DC 0.
10 2 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS • Using non-Icom exciters (transceivers) when the IC-PW1/EURO ’ s power is OFF T o use the antenna selector of the IC-PW1/EURO while the power is OFF , follow 1 of 2 methods. (1) Supply the antenna selector power to the ACC-1 socket Supply the 13.
11 2 INST ALLA TION AND CONNECTIONS The control section of the linear ampli fi er can be sep- arated from the main body , doubling as a remote con- troller . It can be placed on the exciter or in another convenient place. q Disconnect the AC power cable.
12 3 OPERA TION ■ Setting the ALC levels Before fi rst applying power , make sure all connec- tions required for your system are complete by refer- ring to chapter 2. Then, reset the linear ampli fi er using the following procedure. NOTE: Resetting CLEARS all programmed set- tings to default values.
13 3 OPERA TION The IC-PW1/EURO uses CI-V frequency data for automatic selection of the operating band. Program the exciter ’ s address to use this capability as follows: For non-Icom exciters, the IC-PW1/EURO cannot be controlled using the CI-V function, so this set- ting is not necessary .
14 3 OPERA TION ■ Programming the CI-V address (continued) D Setting the IC-PW1/EURO ’ s address It is not necessary to change the IC-PW1/EURO ’ s default CI-V address of 54H. However , if desired, the address can be changed using the internal address switch illustrated below .
15 3 OPERA TION t Push [DOWN] to turn the position memory function for the [INPUT] select switch ON. • The band indicators, [1.8] – [50], light continuously . y Rotate the 1st exciter ’ s dial until the LED [INPUT z ] lights continuously . u T urn the 2nd exciter ’ s power ON.
16 3 OPERA TION CAUTION: DO NOT operate the IC-PW1/EURO before adjusting the ALC levels properly with the [ALC adj1] and [ALC adj2] pots. (p. 1 1) It takes 15 sec. for CI-V line initial settings when several CI-V devices (more than 5) are connected to a CI-V line.
17 3 OPERA TION This linear ampli fi er has various protection circuits. D ALC circuit The ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit automati- cally limits RF output power by controlling the input level of the exciter . This prevents transmission of dis- torted signals when the input signal level exceeds the allowable level.
18 4 MAINTENANCE ■ T roubleshooting The following chart is designed to help you correct problems which are not equipment malfunctions. If you are unable to locate the cause of a problem or solve it through the use of this chart, contact your nearest Icom Dealer or Service Center .
