1.1 INSTALLATION

1. Cable Connection

1) Set up the Antenna Matching Unit at a place where avoid rain as possible.
2) Using the RG-8 Cable, Connect the J1 terminal placed at bottom with the Output
Transmitter terminal.
3) Using a thicker than 0.75mm Shield Cable (20AWG 3p), Connect the J2 A,B,C
terminal placed at bottom and the J5 6,7,19 terminal placed at Transfer unit of
Transmitter.
4) Using a thicker than 14 sq mm cable, Connect to the Ground.
5) Connect the antenna to the Output Terminal.

2. Reflect Power Adjustment

1) First, place the meter select switch “TUNE” on the front panel of Antenna
Matching Unit(KMW-250RB-MU), than make TX on for transmitter with 50W
output.

2) Turn the Impedance Select switch (S1) to minimum indication of Antenna

Current/Reflect Power meter(M1).

3) Turn the Fine Tuning Selector (S2) to minimum indication of M1.

4) When indication of M1 is considered as minimum, make transmitter output about

100W and tune “VERNIER TUNING” (L2) to minimum indication of meter.

5) Tune the Tap of “CORARSE TUNING Tap”(L3B) described as above to make

Meter indication up to minimum.

6) When tuning is completed, place transmitter’s output up to 250W (Normal output).

7) Place Meter Selecter Switch “HI” or “LO” and see Antenna Current’s value.

2.1 DESCRIPTION

The KMW-250RB Antenna Matching Unit (AMU) is designed to withstand harsh

environments encountered in offshore or desert installations. The AMU operates using
control and RF signals for the SA series Low Power NDB transmitter. The large tuning coil
with selectable coarse, fine and impedance taps offers uninterrupted operation over a wide
frequency range and different ground conductivities for a given antenna.

3.1 SPECIFICATIONS

1) Input Impedance : 50 ohms

2) Load Impedance : 2 to 25 ohms resistance, 200 to 1500 pF capacitance

3) Frequency : 190 to 625 kHz with a 200 to 1500 pF load

4) Power Input : Up to 500 watts peak, 250 watts continuous

5) Metering : Antenna current and tuning. Single meter with a four. Single meter
with a four position switch for OFF, TUNE, HIGH and LOW tuning

6) Tuning : Large coil with coarse taps, fine tapes and a rotating shorted ring
controlled by the autotune system

7) Lightning Protection : Lightning gap at the antenna terminal. Special passive

circuit that Protects the transmitter final amplifier from
lighting transients
