Installation 2.1Mounting

28、 The Model 8833-300 Load Resistor is equipped for either fixed installations or portable use. The load is Figure - 1 Outline Drawing TO-nnn-nn-nnn-nn Page 6 free standing or can be attached to a bench, etc., Refer to Figure-1, Outline Drawing, for location of the two mounting brackets and four mount

29、ing holes. Attach the load using four suitable fasteners. 2.2Orientation This equipment is designed for operation in an up- right position only, as shown in Figure-1, Outline Drawing. Do not attempt to operate in any other position. 2.3Vent The coolant filler inlet is capped with a shipping plug, Fi

30、gure-2, during transport from the factory. The ship- ping plug must be removed and replaced with the vent plug, Figure-3, before operation. The vent plug must also remain installed during cooling. 2.4Installing Vent Plug Warning Failure to properly vent the radiator during operation and cooling can

31、result in equipment damage and personal injury. Remove the shipping plug using a 3/4 flat wrench. Ensure the o-ring seal stays in place on the shipping plug. Ensure the o-ring seal is in place on the vent plug. Install vent plug. 2.5Thermoswitch A thermoswitch assembly, P/N 2450-056, is an avail- ab

32、le option. When installed in the radiator, it will prevent damage from accidental transmitter power overload or equipment malfunction. Being normally closed, the thermoswitch opens at a maximum safe temperature. Connected in series with the transmitter interlock, it cuts off transmitter power if loa

33、d tempera- ture exceeds this value. The assembly consists of the thermoswitch body, P/N 2450-040, with coupling jack, P/N 2450-018, attached. Thermoswitch Installation Place the unit on its back, with the connector end up. This position prevents coolant spillage. Use a 9/16 allen wrench to remove th

34、e socket plug on the front face of the radiator. Replace the plug with the thermoswitch. Use an acceptable pipe sealing compound sparingly, on the external threads only, of the thermoswitch. Do not contaminate coolant with pipe sealing compound. Observe closely for coolant leaks upon completion. Con

35、necting the Thermoswitch, see Figure-4 Unscrew the knurled ring-nut A at the lower end of the coupling jack assembly. Pull it off the ther- moswitch jack B. Unscrew the small knurled cover fitting C from the base plug D of the connector to release the base. Thread the interlock wires through the cla

36、mp E (with washers F inside) and with its threaded fitting in p l a Figure - 2 Shipping Plug Figure - 3 Vent Plug RF Load Resistor Model 8833-300 Page 7 Note: Be sure that the knurled ring nut A is in place over the base plug D with the knurled end outward (towards face). Screw on the cover ring C.

37、Fasten the cable clamp E, and tighten the two yoke screws H on the cable. Push the plug back on the thermoswitch, and tighten captive knurled connecting ring. Do not attempt to operate the equipment without interlock attached. 2.6Checking the DC Resistance VSWR and RF Impedance are the true benchmar

38、k of a quality dummy load. Checking the dc resistance is simply used to measure a change in the condition of the resistor over a period of time. If the application requires such measurements, follow the steps below to obtain a benchmark value before the unit is put into service. Preparation and Tool

39、s Required Be sure the vent plug is installed, see paragraph 2.4. Tools: Resistance Bridge or Ohmmeter with accuracy of 1% 50 ohms. Temperature of the load is 20 to 25C (68 to 70F). Procedure Using the resistance bridge or ohmmeter, check the dc resistance of the load before it is put into service,

40、see Figure-5. Record the value and keep for future use. Normally the dc resistance of the load will be a nominal 50 ohms. Stabilization of the resistive film or temperature can cause a change in the dc resis- tance. Check the resistance of the load periodically, accord- ing to use, and compare this

41、resistance with the original reading. If the values vary more than 2 ohms this could be an indication of a failing resistive ele- ment. 3.Theory of Operation 3.1General The Model 8833-300 RF Load consists of a film-on- ceramic resistor immersed in a dielectric coolant. The resistor, which is individ

42、ually selected for its accu- racy, is enclosed in an exponentially tapered housing, providing a reduction in surge impedance directly proportional to the distance along the resistor. When the resistor unit is immersed in the dielectric liquid, the characteristic impedance will be 50 ohms at the conn

43、ector end and graduate to zero ohms at the rear, where the resistor joins the housing forming the return conductor of the coaxial circuit. This produces a uniform, practically reflectionless, line termination over the stated frequencies of the load resistor. 3.2Dielectric Coolant The dielectric cool

44、ant, a low volatility, high flash point synthetic oil, is chosen for its desirable thermal char- acteristics and dielectric properties, to which the diameters of the resistor housing are matched. A synthetic rubber o-ring around the outside of the r e s Figure - 4 Thermoswitch Assembly Figure - 5 Ch

45、ecking DC Resistance TO-nnn-nn-nnn-nn Page 8 istor housing mount furnishes a seal for the radiator opening. A beveled flange retains the o-ring. The o-ring is pressed against the radiator face by the action of drawing up of radial V-band clamp around the enclosing beveled flanges. 3.3Radiator When i

46、nput power is applied, the resistor generates heat which is absorbed by the surrounding dielectric coolant. By convection, the heated oil flows through holes in the coaxial shell to the walls of the radiator tank. This radiator is a fabricated single-unit construc- tion, and is carefully designed of

47、 heat-sink sections on a unique vertical rhombic form. This provides a very high efficiency of heat transfer from the dielectric coolant into the surrounding air. 4.Operating Instructions 4.1Load Resistor Connection Warning Provide adequate ventilation and observe normal precautions when using dry c

48、leaning solvents. Many dry cleaning agents emit toxic fumes that may be harmful to your health if inhaled. Clean all conductors and insulator surfaces on the transmission line face and check the RF input con- nector. Use an aerosol type contact cleaner or any dry cleaning solvent on a cotton swab st

49、ick, if nec- essary. Attach the Model 8833-300 Load Resistor to the RF line with a 50 ohm coaxial cable such as RG-218/U or RG-220/U (-17A or 19A) with a suitable plug attached. Check that all coaxial power line connec- tions are properly tightened. Avoid the use of adapt- ers and elbows whenever possible. 4.2Load Resistor Operation Warning Never attempt to disconnect RF equipment from a transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard. Proceed according to the instructions pertaining to the specific transmitting equipment. There are
