connection oF AntennA And poWer cAbleS
Please follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, as well as the DC
power cable. The DC power connector for the
FT-991
must only be connected to a DC source providing 13.8 Volts DC (±15
%), and capable of at least 23 Amperes of current. Always observe proper polarity when making DC connection:
The RED DC power lead connects to the Positive (+) DC terminal.
The BLACK DC power lead connects to the Negative (–) DC terminal.
We recommend the use of the
FP-1030A
(USA market only) AC Power Supply. Other models of power supplies may
be used with the
FT-991
, but the 13.8 VDC input voltage, 23 Ampere current capability, and DC cable polarity guide-
lines described above must be strictly followed.
Note that other manufacturers may use the same type of DC power connections as the
FT-991
transceiver; however, the
wiring conguration may be different from that specied for the
FT-991
transceiver. Serious damage can be caused if
improper DC connections are made; consult with a qualied service technician when in doubt.
High RF voltage is present in the TX RF section of the transceiver while transmitting.
Absolutely! Do not touch the TX RF section while transmitting.
Permanent damage can result when improper supply voltage, or reverse-polarity voltage, is applied to the
FT-
991
. The Limited Warranty on this transceiver does not cover damage caused by application of AC voltage, re-
verse polarity DC, or DC voltage outside the specied range of 13.8 V ±15 %. When replacing fuses, be certain
to use a fuse of the proper rating. The
FT-991
requires a 25 Amp blade fuse.
note:
Do not place the
FT-991
in a location with direct exposure to sunshine.
Do not place the
FT-991
in a location exposed to dust and/or high humidity.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the
FT-991
, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of performance due
to high heat.
Do not install the
FT-991
on an unstable desk or table. Do not place it in a location where objects may fall onto it
from above.
To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including
separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible, and keep trans-
mitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices.
Ensure that the DC power cord is not subject to undue stress or bending, which could damage the cable or cause it to
be accidentally unplugged from the rear panel
DC IN
jack.
Be certain to install your transmitting antenna(s) so they cannot possibly come in contact with TV/FM radio or other
antennas, or with power or telephone lines.
Check the DC volt-
age and current
rating (+13.8 V, 23 A) of the
power supply before con-
necting to the transceiver.
To prevent damage from
lightning, atmospheric elec-
tricity, electrical shock etc., please
provide a good earth ground.
Use a short,
thick, braided
cable to con-
nect your station
equipment to the
buried ground rod (or alternative earth
ground system).
