2、ut covering the ham bands 80 through 10 meters. The FL-2000B uses a pair of 572B/T160 transmitting triodes in a class B grounded grid circuit configuration. The tubes are forced air cooled by two very quiet high speed internal fans. Automatic Level Control circuit controls the exciter gain to allow

3、the highest average power without distortion caused by peak clipping. Changeover circuit biases the tubes to cut-off, eliminating unwanted heat and diode noise generation when receiving. An internal changeover relay feeds the antenna to the exciter for barefoot operation when the FL-2000B is turned

4、off or is on standby condition. A built-in SWR bridge measures SWR on by barefoot and linear operations. The built-in solid state power supply requires no warm-up period and provides excellent voltage regulation. CAUTION DO NOT TURN ON THE FL-2000B WITH THE TOPSHIELD COVER REMOVED. THE HIGH VOLTAGE

Amateur Radio Directory Unpacking Carefully remove FL-2000B and tubes from their packing cartons and examine them for any visible shipping damage, check the control knobs and switches for complete freedom of actio

10、n. Should any damage be apparent, notify the delivering carrier immediately stating the nature of the damage in detail. Tube Installation. Tubes can be installed after removing the top cover (see SERVICING). First, check to see if the tube holders at the tube sockets are loose enough to install tube

11、s. If not, loosen them. Notice the mark pin of the tube base comes to the right of the socket for correct insertion into the socket. Push the tubes straight in to insert them and fasten the tube holders. Insert the plate caps on the top of the tubes. Check to make sure that the plastic choke coil ha

12、s enough clearance from the surrounding parts to avoid electrical short. After replacing the top shield of the tube compartment and the top cover, the amplifier can be connected for operation. In general, care should be taken to insure that enough space is allowed around the amplifier cabinet to per

13、mit adequate air circulation within the linear amplifier. Do not cover the top of the FL-2000B with books, papers or other equipment. Do not insert anything under the bottom of the FL-2000B or overheating may result. POWER REQUIREMENT The FL-2000B has a built-in power supply which can be operated fr

14、om either 100, 117 or 220 volts AC 50-60 cps. The FL-2000B is shipped from the factory connected to operate on 220 volts AC. - 3 - It is recommended that the FL-2000B is operated from its own 220 volt 10 amp or greater circuit. If 117 or 100 volts is all that is available, it should be fused for 20

15、Amps, circuit conductors should be larger than #10 and no other equipment should be operated from this circuit. Do NOT, under any circumstances, operate the FL- 2000B from a 115 volt lighting circuit, as the circuit conductors are not large enough to carry this load. The following diagram shows the

16、wiring connections for 1 10, 1 15 and 220 volt operation. Connections must be made as shown or serious damage may result. - 4 - Downloaded by? ? Amateur Radio Directory ANTENNA REQUIREMENT The FL.-2000B has been designed for use with an antenna resonant at the operating frequency and having approxim

17、ate impedance within the limit of 40 to 80 ohms. The nominal output impedance of the FL-2000B is 50 ohms. When the impedance of the antenna used is far from this value, it is recommended that an antenna matching network be used which will allow the FL-2000B to work into its nominal 50 ohm load for m

18、aximum power transfer into the antenna. GROUND REQUIREMENT The FL-2000B should be connected to a good earth ground through as short and as large a gauge wire as possible for best performance and maximum safety. A connecting post marked GND is provided on the rear apron of the chassis. CAUTION NEVER

19、OPERATE THE FL-2000B WITHOUT FIRST CONNECTING IT TO AN EARTH GROUND, AND AN ANTENNA OR 50 OHM DUMMY LOAD, OR SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY RESULT. EXCITER REQUIREMENT To operate the FL-2000B at its maximum power input, it will be required that the exciter deliver 100 Watts PEP SSB output. Our FT-400/500, FT-56

20、0, FT-200 and FT-101 transceivers and FL-400 transmitter all have sufficient power to drive the FL-2000B at its maximum input. The exciter should be placed as close to the amplifier as practical to avoid long coax and ground connections. ALC On the rear of the FL-2000B, a terminal is provided for co

21、nnection to the exciter of the ALC voltage which controls the gain of the exciter to prevent distortion caused by peak clipping. - 5 - Relay Control RY and E terminal on the rear of the FL-2000B are provided for connection to the exciter relay circuit which is normally open, and which closes on tran

22、smit and thus keys the FL-2000B at the same time. E terminal should be connected to ground for exciters whose relay contact connects to ground on transmit. The terminals are jumpered with a wire for testing purposes when the unit is shipped from the factory. OPERATION CAUTION BE SURE THAT THE FL-200

23、0B IS CONNECTED TO A 50 OHM ANTENNA SYSTEM OR A 50 OHM DUMMY LOAD AND THAT THE PROPER POWER CONNECTION HAS BEEN MADE FOR THE LINE VOLTAGE THAT IS TO BE USED. (SEE PAGE 4) For all modes of operation, the FL-2000B is tuned up with a single R. F. frequency driving it. The exciter may be tuned up on CW

24、into the antenna connected to the FL-2000B with operation switch at STBY position, or by leaving the FL-2000B power off. After the exciter has been tuned up, turn the exciter to standby and turn the operation switch to OPER position. Presetting of the Controls POWER switch : OFF OPER switch : STBY S

25、WR/IP switch : IP BAND switch : Desired band PLATE Control : To the number given in the following chart LOAD Control : Fully counter-clockwise on number zero - 6 - BAND PLATE LOADING 80 4 2 40 6-7 3 20 7-8 4 15 8-9 5 10 9 6 Turn the power switch of FL-2000B on and wait for a few seconds for tube war

26、m up. Turn OPER switch onto OPER position. Turn on the exciter and increase the exciter output while not exceeding 0.2 Amps plate current and tune the-plate control for dip in the plate current. Alternately adjust the plate and heading controls while increasing the exciter-power in small increments

27、until maximum R. F. output occurs at 0.5 Amps plate current. Do not exceed 10 seconds at maximum input to protect the tubes. To measure relative power output, set the meter switch to SWR and F (forward) position. If the relative output meter goes off scale during tune up, reduce the meter sensitivit

28、y control in a downward direction. Approximate settings of the loading control at maximum input are given in the chart on page for 50 ohm load. Now you are ready for CW and SSB operation. For SSB operation, the exciter should be adjusted to run the FL-2000B plate current between 0.2 and 0.3 Amps und

29、er normal voice operating conditions, because the meter cannot follow speech speed. For AM operation, tune up the FL-2000B as described previously. Then the exciter should be adjusted to run the FL-2000B at 0.2 Amps plate current with unmodulated carrier. To measure the SWR of the antenna system, se

30、t the meter switch to SWR and apply R. F. power to the antenna. Adjust the meter sensitivity control to read - 7 - full scale at SWR switch F position. Turn SWR switch to R position, then SWR may be read directly from upper scale of the meter. THEORY OF OPERATION The FL-2000B is designed to use two

31、572B/T160 zero bias triodes in a class B grounded grid configuration. The RF driving power delivered to the input is applied to the tube filaments through a changeover relay and a pi-network on each band which is selected by the input switch S2a. The input switch is ganged to the band switch S1. The

32、 RF voltage appearing on the grid of the tube is coupled through C203 to ALC rectifier diodes D201 and D202. The plate potential of D201 is determined by R1, R2, R3, so that adequate automatic level control voltage is available to control the exciter. The bias is set by R4 for 0.09 Amps idle current

33、. In standby, the cold end of S4 is opened so that bias voltage cuts off the tubes. The plate circuit is coupled to the 50 ohm output load by an adjustable pi-network through the SWR bridge circuit. SERVICING WARNING EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHENEVER MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS INSIDE THE CABINET.

34、 BEFORE OPENING THE CABINET COVER, UNPLUG THE POWER PLUG FROM THE AC LINE. Removing Top and Bottom Covers After disconnecting the power cord from the AC line, the top cover can be easily and safely removed by pulling up the two lock fasteners. The bottom cover can be removed by taking out the four s

35、crews on it. - 8 - Removing Shield Cover After removing the top cover, the shield cover of the PA compartment can be removed by taking out two screws on the shield cover. The safety lock shorts out the charge condensed in the capacitor. Removing the Cabinet After removing six screws on the front end

36、 and two in the bottom of the cabinet, the cabinet can be slid out backwards from the chassis and panel assembly. Tube Replacement If it becomes necessary to replace the tubes in the FL-2000B, the same manufacturer brand should be used. Trouble Shooting During long periods of operation, it is quite

37、possible that some problem will arise which cannot be cured by tube substitution. If this occurs, it is recommended that you either return it to your dealer or write us in detail. Input Coil Alignment The input coils are adjusted at the factory for the center of each band and are broad enough to cov

38、er the entire band. However, if the tubes are replaced with a brand other than originally supplied, the input coils may have to be realigned. The alignment is done with a 50 ohm SWR meter inserted between the exciter output and the FL-2000Bs RF input coax jack. First disconnect the FL-2000B from the

39、 power line, remove the top and bottom covers and disconnect the wiring from the high voltage transformer secondary terminals. Recover the top cover. The amplifier should be connected to the exciter as for normal operation with the exception of the SWR meter in the input line. Preset the controls as

40、 follows: - 9- Band Switch : On desired band to be tuned Loading : Fully counter-clockwise Plate Control : In the position described on page 7. With the exciter tuned up on CW in the middle of the band to be tuned, turn on the FL-2000B. The amplifier now works without plate voltage. Extreme care sho

41、uld be taken, because there is high voltage AC on the secondary terminals of the high voltage transformer. Increase the output from the exciter until the amplifier plate meter read 0.1 Amps. Tune the plate control for a dip in plate current and tune the slug on the correct input coil for a minimum r

42、eflected power reading on the SWR meter that is connected to the input line. After re-alignment, disconnect the power cord from the AC line and reconnect the disconnect wiring to the secondary terminals of the transformer. - 10 - Downloaded by? ?
