Description PIN Option and Specification

Output protection—Apex generators sense and employ several parameters for protection

Reflected power limit	20% of maximum forward power for units rated for less
	than 5500 W. 1000 W for 5500 W units. (PIN position 2
	defines the maximum forward power rating for the unit.)
Dissipation limit	Maximum PA dissipation—non-latching alarm LED
Low/high line bus	Bus voltage outside spec window—latching alarm LED
Over-temperature	Over-temp condition—latching alarm LED preceded by
	non-fault warning (user setting).
Output power range	All generators except the HALO will allow setpoints
	between 1% and 100% of full scale. The exception is the
	HALO 1.5k generator depicted by “L” in position 2 of the
	PIN number. This allows setpoints from 5 watts to 1500
	watts.
Output power regulation accuracy
Into 50 Ω non-reactive load	• ± 1% of setpoint or ± 0.1% of full-rated output,
	whichever is greater (all PIN position 2 options but K
	and L)
	• ≤ ±1% of setpoint or 0.25 W, whichever is greater
	(PIN position 2, option K & L)
Into 3:1 VSWR non-	± 3% of setpoint (load power regulation), over all load
reactive load	phase angles, or ± 0.25% of full-rated output, which ever is
	greater
Load regulation as a function	Less than 0.1% change in output power for 10% change in
of line regulation	ac line voltage

Load regulation as a function of temperature—(performance in accordance with the output power regulation accuracy)

Ambient air temperature	+5°C to +40°C
range
Cooling water temperature	+5°C to +35°C
range

Spurious outputs—Referenced to fundamental signal at full-rated output when operated in a 50 Ω non-reactive load

Harmonic related	-40 dBc
Non-harmonic related	-50 dBc
