Kenwood TS-480SAT, TS-480HX Fixed Station Installation, DC Power Supply Connection

1 INSTALLATION

FIXED STATION INSTALLATION

When you use the transceiver at a fixed location, the transceiver requires 13.8 V DC power supply (The TS-480HX requires 2 DC power supplies).

REMOTE CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION

1Attach the oval-shaped base to the front panel mounting bracket using two SEMS screws (M4 x 10 mm) as shown below.

2Slide the Remote Control panel along the mounting bracket rails until secure.

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (two 13.8 V/ 20.5 A or single

13.8V/ 41.0 A DC power supply(s) is required to transmit for the TS-480HX) that must be purchased separately. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cables to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The current capacity of each power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more.

1Connect the DC power cable(s) to the regulated DC power supply (two 13.8 V/ 20.5 A or single 13.8 V/ 41.0 A DC power supply(s) must be used for the TS-480HX); the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal.

¥When using a single 13.8 V/ 41 A DC power supply, connect 2 DC cables to the positive and negative terminals, as shown on page 2.

2Connect the DC power cable to the transceiverÕs DC power connector.

¥Press the connectors firmly until the locking tab clicks.

¥Attach the line filter(s) to the DC cable(s) as shown below (E-type only).

Note:

◆Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and the transceiver.

◆Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.

◆When two power supplies are used for the TS-480HX, the DC voltage difference at the transceiver DC IN connectors must be within 1.0 V DC.

◆Do not use different types (length and gauge) of DC cables to avoid voltage differences (TS-480HX).
