2.3     Mains Fuse Rating 

 
The Mains Fuse Fl is located on the rear panel. The replacement part number is F981-ND 
 

2.4     Rack Installation 

 
In  order  to  install  the  Model  325LA  in  a  standard  19  inch  relay  rack,  the  mounting 
brackets must be attached to the cover as follows: 

a. 

Remove  the  four  feet  on  the  underside  of  the  amplifier  if  the  minimum 

vertical usage of the relay rack is necessary. 

b. 

Remove  the  two  M4-10  screws  located  on  each  side  of  the  cover  nearest 

the front panel. 

c. 

Attach the rack mounting brackets to the sides of the unit using the screws 

removed in step (b). 
 

2.5 

Mains Lead Connection 

 
The unit comes supplied with a 6 foot mains cord.  
 

2.6     Cooling 

 
When the 325LA is enclosed by an external cabinet, provisions must be made to ensure 
an  adequate  flow  of  cooling  air  to  the  unit.  Ambient  temperature  of  the  air  must  not 
exceed 40° C. 
 

2.7 Proceed as follows: 

 

(i) 

Ensure that there is at least 3” / 7.5 cm clearance at the rear of unit for air flow. 

 

(ii) 

Ensure RF input voltage is not excessive 
a.  The  1  V  rms  indicated  maximum  input  voltage  is  5  times  the  level  of  the 

input  signal  required  to  achieve  maximum  output.  Input  voltages  in  excess 
of 2 volts peak may permanently damage the instrument. 

 

(iii) 

Connect the output via a 50 ohm coaxial lead and BNC plug to the load. 

 
(iv) 

Connect the input signal via a 50 ohm coaxial lead and BNC plug to the input 
connector.
