INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
IUnpacking
IAC power cable connection
After unpacking, immediately report any damage to the
delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.
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.
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.
The IC-PW1/EURO can accept either 100–120 V AC
or 200–240 V AC power.* However, we recommend
using 200–240 V AC rather than 100–120 V AC for
better power supply efficiency and longer periods of
transmission.
IFerrite 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.
*Europe version: 230 V AC only
DSingle-phase 3-wire line (200–240 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.
Attach and position
the cable ties to
the AC cable
as illustrated.
*Use the appropriate AC plug if required.
Ferrite core
Cut the cable ties
so that enough
length remains to
secure the ferrite
core in place.

Select a location for the linear amplifier 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.
GND
The linear amplifier 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 amplifier conditions at any time.
See p. 10 for separation instructions.
D
Three-phase 3-wire line (200–240 V AC)
q The green wire from the AC power cable must be

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
IGrounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, 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.
IAntenna
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical
importance, along with output power and sensitivity.
Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 Ω
antenna with more than 2 kW power rating, and feed-
line. 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.
Antenna SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and SWR may be increased out-of-range.
When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the lin-
ear amplifier’s power drops to protect the final FET.
In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the
linear amplifier 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.
When using 1 antenna, use the [ANT1] connector.
CAUTION: Protect your linear amplifier from
lightning by using a lightning arrestor.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
ISystem interconnections
1 or 2 Icom 100 W HF transceivers can be connected
as exciters to the IC-PW1/EURO. Non-Icom trans-
ceivers 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 (transceiv-
er). 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.
Icom standard 8 and 7-pin accessory jacks
(transceiver side)
[ACC(1)]
[ACC(2)]
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 contin-
ues using this setup, damage (including the possibil-
ity of explosion) to the connected transceiver and/or
IC-PW1/EURO will occur.

OPERATION
IAntenna tuner operation
The built-in automatic antenna tuner can match the
antenna feed line impedance to 50 Ω when the feed
line impedance is within 16.7 to 150 Ω for HF bands
(VSWR 3:1) or within 20 to 125 Ω for 50 MHz bands
(VSWR 2.5:1).
This antenna tuner is also used when the linear
amplifier is turned OFF.
➥ Push [TUNER] for 2 sec. to start manual antenna
tuning.
•When the tuner cannot tune the antenna (SWR 1.5:1 or
greater), the tuning circuit is bypassed automatically
after 20 sec.
Once the tuner matches an antenna, the tuning cir-
cuit 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 mem-
orized point.
While operating in the 50 MHz band, the antenna
tuner does not start automatically. Push [TUNER]
for 2 sec. to tune the antenna manually.
IProtection circuit
This linear amplifier has various protection circuits.
DLinear amplifier protection circuit
When a protection circuit is activated, a band indica-
tor blinks to show a problem as described below.
➥ [AMP/PROTECT] lights red when a protection cir-
cuit is activated.
DALC circuit
The ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit automati-
cally limits RF output power by controlling the input
level of the exciter. This prevents transmission of dis-
torted signals when the input signal level exceeds the
allowable level.
- Push [AMP/PROTECT] to cancel the protection circuit.

INSTALLATION NOTES
For amateur base station installations it is recom-
mended that the forwards clearance in front of the an-
tenna 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.
EIRP clearance heights by frequency band
1 Watts 2.1 m
10 Watts 2.8 m
25 Watts 3.4 m
100 Watts
5 m
1000 Watts 12 m
As different exposure limits have been recommended
for different frequencies, a relative table shows a
guideline for installation considerations.
Forward clearance, EIRP by frequency band
100 Watts
2 m
1000 Watts 6.5 m
10,000 Watts 20 m
100,000 Watts 65 m
Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified
in terms of V/m or A/m fields 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 instal-
lations. The EC recommended limits are almost identi-
cal to the FCC specified ‘uncontrolled’ limits and tables
exist that show pre-calculated safe distances for differ-
ent antenna types for different frequency bands. Fur-
In all cases any possible risk depends on the transmit-
ter being activated for long periods. (actual recom-
mendation limits are specified 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 1–2
minutes etc.
Similarly some types of emission, i.e., SSB, CW, AM
etc. have a lower ‘average’ output power and the as-
sessed 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.
•Typical amateur radio installation
Exposure distance assumes that the predominant ra-
diation 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.
This warning symbol indicates that this
equipment operates in non-harmonised fre-
quency bands and/or may be subject to li-
censing conditions in the country of use. Be
sure to check that you have the correct ver-
sion of this radio or the correct programming
of this radio, to comply with national licens-
ing requirement.
The figures assume the worst case emission of con-
stant carrier.
For the bands 10 MHz and higher the following power
density limits have been recommended:
NOTE: To meet European R&TTE regulations, the
OPC-853 AC cable with EMC filter must be connected
to the IC-PW1EURO.
