INSTALLATION 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. ii of this manual.
Ferrite core installation
The supplied cable ties (o in SUPPLIED ACCES-
SORIES) should be attached to the AC cable of the
IC-PW1/EURO as illustrated below.
NOTE: Only one ferrite core is attached with the IC-
PW1EURO.
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.
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 ele-
ments, 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 founda-
tion since it is very heavy.
AC power cable connection
A suitable AC power plug must be connected to the
AC power cable end. See the diagram below for con-
nection 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
DD
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.
DD
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.
DD
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.

AC cable
Ferrite core
Attach and position
the cable ties to
the AC cable
as illustrated.
Cut the cable ties
so that enough
length remains to
secure the ferrite
core in place.
