INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
I AC power cable connection
A suitable AC power plug must be connected to the AC power cable end. See the diagram below for connection procedures. AC input voltage is automatically selected. The IC-PW1/EURO can accept either 100120 V AC or 200240 V AC power.* However, we recommend using 200240 V AC rather than 100120 V AC for better power supply efciency and longer periods of transmission.
* Europe version: 230 V AC only

I 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 equipment included with the IC-PW1/EURO, see SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES on p. ii of this manual.
I Ferrite core installation
The supplied cable ties (o in SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES) should be attached to the AC cable of the IC-PW1/EURO as illustrated below.
Attach and position the cable ties to the AC cable as illustrated. Ferrite core Cut the cable ties so that enough length remains to secure the ferrite core in place.
D Single-phase 3-wire line (200240 V AC) q The green wire from the AC power cable must be connected to the protective earth. w The black and white wires from the AC power cable can be connected to either terminal. *Use the appropriate AC plug if required.

NOTE: Only one ferrite core is attached with the ICPW1EURO.
I OPC-853 AC cable with line lter
The IC-PW1EURO must be used with the OPC-853 AC cable to satisfy European R&TTE requirements.
D Single-phase 2-wire line (100120 V AC) q The green wire from the AC power cable must be connected to the protective earth. w The black wire from the AC power cable must be connected to the hot (live) wire. e The white wire from the AC power cable must be connected to the return wire.

white black green GND

I Selecting a location
Select a location for the linear amplier that allows adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other electro-magnetic sources. The linear amplier and remote controller sections of the IC-PW1/EURO can be separated. The remote controller can be placed near the operator for easy monitoring of linear amplier conditions at any time. See p. 10 for separation instructions. The linear amplier must be placed on a solid foundation since it is very heavy.
D Three-phase 3-wire line (200240 V AC) q The green wire from the AC power cable must be connected to the protective earth. w The black and white wires from the AC power cable can be connected to 2 of 3 wires.

I Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, 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. Make the distance between the GROUND terminal and ground as short as possible.

R WARNING: NEVER

connect the GROUND terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.

I Antenna

For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, along with output power and sensitivity. Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 antenna with more than 2 kW power rating, and feedline. 1.5:1 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for a desired band. Of course, the transmission line should be a coaxial cable. When using 1 antenna, use the [ANT1] connector.

Antenna SWR

Each antenna is tuned for a specied frequency range and SWR may be increased out-of-range. When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the linear ampliers power drops to protect the nal FET. In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the linear amplier and antenna. Low SWR allows full power for transmitting even when using the antenna tuner. The IC-PW1/EURO has an SWR meter to monitor the antenna SWR continuously.
CAUTION: Protect your linear amplier from lightning by using a lightning arrestor.

I System interconnections
1 or 2 Icom 100 W HF transceivers can be connected as exciters to the IC-PW1/EURO. Non-Icom transceivers 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 (transceiver). See p. 5 for AC power cable connection.
CAUTION!: When connecting the supplied ACC cable to an Icom transceiver, be sure to connect the cable to the 7-pin [ACC(2)] jack on the exciter (transceiver) side.
If the ACC cable is connected to the 8-pin [ACC(1)] jack, the protector circuit in the IC-PW1/EURO will not able to read the ALC signal. If operation continues using this setup, damage (including the possibility of explosion) to the connected transceiver and/or IC-PW1/EURO will occur.

y Push [UP]/[DOWN] to select [AUTO] for automatic band selection when a CI-V Icom exciter is used; or push [UP]/[DOWN] to select the desired band for manual band selection. u Use the exciters antenna tuner to tune the line between the IC-PW1/EURO and exciter, if you have an antenna tuner connected to the exciter. i Transmit with the exciter and adjust the exciters output power to 50 W with the RF output power control on the exciter.
- [TRANSMIT] indicator lights. - See the exciters instruction manual for transmitting.
o The built-in antenna tuner automatically tunes the antenna.
- SWR reading on meter-2 should be less than 1.2:1. - Push [TUNER] for 2 sec. to tune the antenna manually. - The [TUNER] indicator blinks while tuning. - The [TUNER] indicator lights while the tuner is activated.
NOTE: The band information is not updated while scanning. Turn the antenna tuner OFF and use the manual band selection while scanning. During split operation: When changing the frequency more than 100 kHz, the IC-PW1/EUROs antenna tuner presets the tuner to the new frequency. Use manual tuning during split operation. !0 When operating for long periods, select the temperature meter with [METER-1] to monitor the linear ampliers temperature.
- If the temperature meter reading is in the red HOT zone, the exciter should be returned to receive, otherwise, the protection circuit may be activated and the linear amplier may be turned OFF.
w Select the input/output antenna with [INPUT] and [ANT]. e Set the exciter to CW or RTTY mode with minimum output power. r Select the temperature and SWR meters with [METER-1] and [METER-2].

Temperature protection range
t Push [TUNER] and [AMP/PROTECT] to turn the automatic antenna tuner and linear amplier circuit ON.

D Band memory

The IC-PW1/EURO stores ON/OFF settings for the antenna tuner and linear amplier according to the operating band when at least 1 Icom exciter is connected to the [INPUT1] connector. The set conditions may not be stored when the linear amplier is turned OFF immediately after setting the antenna tuner and linear amplier.

[AMP/PROTECT]

[TUNER]
I Antenna tuner operation
The built-in automatic antenna tuner can match the antenna feed line impedance to 50 when the feed line impedance is within 16.7 to 150 for HF bands (VSWR 3:1) or within 20 to 125 for 50 MHz bands (VSWR 2.5:1). Once the tuner matches an antenna, the tuning circuit condition is memorized as a preset point for each frequency range (100 kHz steps, 70 ranges). Therefore, when you change the frequency range, the tuning circuit is automatically preset to the memorized point. This antenna tuner is also used when the linear amplier is turned OFF. Push [TUNER] for 2 sec. to start manual antenna tuning.

If the circuit breaker activates or the linear amplier stops functioning, try to nd the source of the problem, then push the circuit breaker button to ll the white parts. - Circuit breaker capacity: 20 A (U.S.A. version) 15 A (Europe version)

INSTALLATION NOTES

For amateur base station installations it is recommended that the forwards clearance in front of the antenna array is calculated relative to the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power). The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. As different exposure limits have been recommended for different frequencies, a relative table shows a guideline for installation considerations. Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specied in terms of V/m or A/m elds as they are likely to fall within the near-field region. Similarly, the antennas may be physically short in terms of electrical length and that the installation will require some antenna matching device which can create local, high intensity magnetic fields. Analysis of such MF installations is best considered in association with published guidance notes such as the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 and its annexes relative to amateur transmitter installations. The EC recommended limits are almost identical to the FCC specied uncontrolled limits and tables exist that show pre-calculated safe distances for different antenna types for different frequency bands. Further information can be found at http://www.arrl.org/. Typical amateur radio installation Exposure distance assumes that the predominant radiation pattern is forwards and that radiation vertically downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical height of 1.8 m. The gures assume the worst case emission of constant carrier. For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power density limits have been recommended: 10144 MHz 2 W/sq m EIRP clearance heights by frequency band 1 Watts 2.1 m 10 Watts 2.8 m 25 Watts 3.4 m 100 Watts 5m 1000 Watts 12 m Forward clearance, EIRP by frequency band 100 Watts 2m 1000 Watts 6.5 m 10,000 Watts 20 m 100,000 Watts 65 m In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmitter being activated for long periods. (actual recommendation limits are specied as an average during 6 minutes) Normally the transmitter is not active for long periods of time. Some radio licenses will require that a timer circuit automatically cuts the transmitter after 12 minutes etc. Similarly some types of emission, i.e., SSB, CW, AM etc. have a lower average output power and the assessed risk is even lower. Versions of the IC-PW1EURO which display the CE symbol on the serial number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Directive 1999/5/EC. This warning symbol indicates that this equipment operates in non-harmonised frequency bands and/or may be subject to licensing conditions in the country of use. Be sure to check that you have the correct version of this radio or the correct programming of this radio, to comply with national licensing requirement. NOTE: To meet European R&TTE regulations, the OPC-853 AC cable with EMC lter must be connected to the IC-PW1EURO.
