AMERITRON AL-82 FULL POWER LINEAR AMPLIFIER

CAUTION: Do not use the 220V wiring unless the line

voltage is always below 220 VAC. The Standard USA

voltage is 240 VAC not 220.

For 220V Operation:

For 220V connections (see Fig 3), follow the first three steps under the section titled “For 240V Operation”, then follow the

steps below:

1. Slide the RED boot back on the BROWN/WHITE wire.

2. Clip the terminal connector off the wire and slide off the RED boot.

NOTE: One of the tube pins is offset. This offset pin “keys” the tube base and socket.

Install the tube by aligning the tube pins with the socket contact terminals. Then, seat the tube with vertical

pressure ONLY. Do not “rock” or “twist” the tube.

2. Place the chimneys over the tubes and seat with the metal clips inside each chimney. Do not apply

excessive force or the glass chimney may crack.

3. Attach the blocking capacitors to the anode bracket and secure with the two 6/32 screws.

4. Install the plate cap connectors on the tubes in the positions shown. Be careful not to drop any hardware

inside the chassis.
