44• Automatic control – when connected to a transceiver with CAT capability, the amplifier will trackthe operating frequency, and will change bands accordingly.• Even if not CAT connected, the amplifier monitors the input signal frequency through the built-infrequency counter and automatically switches bands.• Remotely controlled by RS232 port.• Takes care of itself during operation via continuously working protection circuits in all modes.• The operator can monitor more than 10 parameters of the amplifier in operation.• Easy maintenance – detailed data (55 parameters) about each of the last 28 hard-fault protectiontrips is stored in the amplifier’s memory.• Convenient for expeditions and field operation due to the extremely compact and lightweightconstruction and the built-in switching-mode power supply (SMPS) that operates with extendedmains voltage range of 93-265VAC, with no internal switch over. The consumed current ispurely sinusoidal, Power Factor Corrected (PFC) andinrush limited. This makes the operationfrom unstable mains and generators easy and troublefree.• Perfect electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with both highly sensitive devices and the powerfuldevices in the radio station (receivers, computers, other amplifiers) exceeding the standardEMC requirements due to the used PFC and built-in radio-frequency filters.1-5. Safety considerations, explicit definitionsThe ACOM 700S linear amplifier is a Class I apparatus regarding protection against electric shock, i.e.the third grounding lead of its mains cord (colored yellow with two green stripes) and the grounding studon the rear panel, marked GND (Fig. 2-1), must be connected to the grounding system of the shack forsafe operation.The ACOM 700S amplifier is designed to meet international safety standards and complies with the CEelectromagnetic compatibility requirements, as well as the FCC regulations.This operating manual contains precautions, cautions, and warnings that MUST BE CОMPLIED TOby the user to ensure safe operation and maintaining of the ACOM 700S amplifier in a safe workingcondition.PRECAUTIONS:The EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS described below apply to this operating manual:W A R N I N G notes call attention to a procedure which, if not correctly performed,could result in personal injury or fire hazard by electric shock or lightning.C A U T I O N notes call attention to a procedure which, if not correctly performed, could resultin equipment damage, not only in the ACOM 700S amplifier.N O T E notes call attention to a procedure which, if not correctly performed, could result ininconvenience.
