ACOM 1500 HF + 6 Meter Linear Amplifiers
ACOM 1500 HF + 6 Meter Linear Amplifiers are user-friendly and look after themselves. They are designed to safely withstand up to 300 watts of reflected power and up to 100 milliseconds duration of drive spikes. These amplifiers also continue to function with "soft" AC mains and will deliver more than half power at only 85 percent of nominal mains voltage. They can withstand voltage drops for up to 10 milliseconds and can tolerate 15 percent mains voltage spikes. This level of tolerance is especially important on Field Day, during DXpeditions, and at portable operating events where emergency power is relied upon. Please see the SPECIAL Note, below. The True Resistance Indicator (TRI) is a powerful tuning aid that helps the operator to quickly and precisely match the antenna impedance to the optimum tube load impedance. The auto-operate function (when enabled) maintains the amplifier in the OPERATE mode, thus avoiding unnecessary manual operations. Your ACOM amplifier will enable you to change antennas virtually instantaneously and allow you to use your antennas over wider frequency ranges. Broadband input matching presents a very good load to the transceiver over the entire spectrum of 1.8-54 MHz. These amplifiers produce virtually-silent QSK. The input bypassing and vacuum antenna relays are virtually silent even in the CW QSK mode; thanks to specially designed mounting hardware. ACOM 1500 amplifiers utilize a single 4CX1000A ceramic and metal radial-beam tetrode vacuum tube with plate dissipation of 1,000 watts. Tube protection includes permanent monitoring and automatic protection of plate and grid voltages and currents, as well as the exhaust air temperature. These pieces of data are essential to indicate 4CX1000A operating conditions. All ACOM 1500 amplifier status indications are explained via detailed text displayed on the dot matrix, high brightness, vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). LED indicators are provided for Power, Operate mode, Attenuation-on, Transmit, Selected antenna output, and ON/OFF conditions. * Frequency Coverage: 1.8-54 MHz * Power Output: 1,500W PEP, 1,200W continuous carrier; for continuous carrier transmissions longer than 15 minutes the external auxiliary fan must be installed * Intermodulation Distortion: Better than 35dB below PEP rated output * Hum and noise: Better than 40dB below rated output * Harmonic Output Suppression: 1.8-21.5 MHz; 50dB below rated output, 24-54 MHz; 66dB below rated output * Input and Output Impedance: Nominal values: 50 Ohm unbalanced output; Input circuit: broadband, VSWR less than 1.3:1, 1.8-54 MHz (no tuning, no switching); Bypass path: VSWR less than 1.1:1, 1.8-54 MHz continuously * RF Gain: 13dB typically, frequency response less than 1dB (60-85 W drive power for rated output) * Primary Power: 100-264V (100, 110,120, 200, 210, 220, 230 and 240V nominal taps), 50-60Hz, single phase, 3500VA consumption at rated output * SPECIAL Note: Order part number AOM-1500 to wire the AC plug yourself; order part number AOM-1000-240 for pre-wired 240 volt operation * Complies with CE safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements as well as FCC-regulations * Size: 16.6 x 14 x 7.7 in. * Weight 58.4 lbs. * Operating environments: Temperature range 0 to 50 degrees C, Humidity up to 95 percent at 35 C * Altitude: up to 3,000m (10,000ft) above sea level without output deterioration Note: For additional information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab.

ACOM 1010 HF Linear Amplifiers
ACOM 1010 HF Linear Amplifiers cover all bands from 1.8 through 29.7 MHz. They provide over 700 W PEP output (or 500 W continuous-modes) with less than 60 watts of drive and operate without special transceiver signaling; they need only "ground on TX" and the required drive. ACOM's exclusive True Resistance Indicator (TRI); enables faster antenna changes and use over wider frequency ranges. Also, a built-in antenna selector switch with two outputs is included to provide instant choice of antennas. Antenna matching can be achieved in less than 10 seconds and at a quarter of nominal output power, which results in lower risk of interference to other stations and greater safety to the amplifier components. A single ACOM 4CX800A high-performance ceramic-metal tetrode with plate dissipation of 800 watts is used for maximum efficiency. These amplifiers are self-monitoring. They are designed to safely withstand up to 240 watts of reflected power, up to 100 milliseconds of drive spikes (RF "tails" after a PTT or KEY release), and even operator tuning errors. They are also capable of operating at more than half their designed output at only 75 percent of nominal line voltage. Because they can tolerate deep voltage drops and 15 percent line voltage spikes, they are particularly well-suited for use in portable environments, such as Field Day and DXpeditions. Importantly, a variety of system parameters are continuously monitored and available to the operator to assure safe and efficient amplifier operation. Design of the high-voltage power supply eliminates the danger of turn-on transients affecting sensitive devices connected to the same line (mains) circuit. Moreover, the amplifier can be configured to accommodate any of eight nominal line voltages between 100 and 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. Please see the SPECIAL Note, below.

ACOM 1000 HF + 6 Meter Linear Amplifiers
ACOM 1000 HF + 6 Meter Linear Amplifiers are the world's best value in an Amateur HF amplifier. These amps provide you a comfortable 1,000 watts output on all amateur bands from 160 through 6 meters. The plate-load True Resistance Indicator (TRI) is a powerful tuning aid which helps the operator to quickly and precisely match antennas. The auto-operate function (when enabled) maintains the amplifier in OPERATE mode for you, saving on manual operations. Broadband input matches to the transceiver over the entire range of 1.8-54 MHz. ACOM 1000 amplifiers are both user-friendly and look after themselves. They are designed to safely withstand up to 300 watts reflected power, drive spikes of up to 100 milliseconds duration, drive RF "tails" after a PTT or KEY release and the operator's inadvertent tuning errors. They also withstand a "soft" AC line and will deliver more than half power at only 75 percent of nominal mains voltage. They can withstand voltage drops for up to 10 milliseconds, and up to 15 percent higher line-voltage spikes. These details are all important, particularly when used at Field Day, on DXpeditions and other portable operations. Be sure to read the SPECIAL Note, below. An ACOM 4CX800A high-performance ceramic/metal tetrode with plate dissipation of 800 watts is employed. On-board processing provides permanent monitoring and protection of plate and grid voltages and currents, as well as the exhaust temperature. Text messages, 12 different parameters, and strip peak-reading PEP meter are displayed on a dot-matrix, back-lighted LCD. LED indicators are provided for OPERATE, attenuator-on, and ON/OFF conditions. Records of the amplifier internal status are stored in nonvolatile memory for the seven most-recent auto-protection trips. This information is very valuable should diagnostics be needed. The input bypassing and the vacuum antenna relays are very quiet even in CW mode due to their special mounting. This results in virtually noise-free QSK!
