II. Description / Specification
The CPS-1001/S/13.56MHZ is a RF Generator operating with a center frequency of 13.56 MHz. The
power source produces maximum transfer of power into a 50 ohm resistive load, yet it is designed to
withstand large deviations in load impedance without failure.
The primary features of the CPS-1001 series are its solid-state design, small physical size and
reliability.
The CPS-1001 series amplifier is constructed with two main sections. The DC power section includes
all of the filter capacitors, rectifiers and regulators, as well as the three-phase 208 VAC power
transformer. Transformers to accommodate other line voltages are available through special order. The
rectifiers and bleeder resistors are mounted on a water-cooled copper heatsink. These components are
operated at about half of their rated outputs to insure the high reliability of this section. The RF section
consists of the oscillator control board(OCB), driver, PA 1000 power amplifier, combiner and
directional coupler assembly. The driver and power amplifier modules are mounted on water-cooled
heatsinks. All components are used well below their dissipation ratings for long life and low
maintenance operation.
The CPS-1001 is enclosed in a standard 19” rack mounted chassis. The chassis is 5.25” high and
16.125” deep (See the Control Drawing for further mechanical detail).

III. Unpacking and Inspection
1. Carefully unpack the unit and inspect for any obvious signs of physical damage that might
have occurred during shipment. Notify the shipping agent of any damage immediately.
2. Check the outside of the unit for missing or loose mounting screws or broken parts.
3. If there is shipping damage or the unit fails to operate properly upon receipt, report
damage to the carrier and Comdel immediately.
CAUTION: Breaking the seal or removing the warranty decal from this unit will void the
warranty. If internal damage is suspected, contact factory for assistance.
IV. Maintenance
The CPS-1001 is designed to run unattended for long periods of time. Should service be
required, the system is modularly designed for quick repair. The whole RF section could be
replaced in less than thirty minutes.
After a time, scale may build up on the inside of the cooling tubes. This could greatly reduce
the cooling capacity of the system. It is recommended that the system be flushed with a
descaling agent. A cleaning agent that does not damage copper, brass, stainless steel and nylon
tubing should be chosen.
V. Preparation for Use
A. Power Requirements
The CPS-1001 is designed to operate from a 208 VAC three phase line. The system will
function within specifications when line voltage fluctuates between 185 and 230 volts.
However, voltages over the recommended 208 VAC reduce the safety margins designed into
the system and should be avoided. Lower voltages impact power output and regulation. The
system draws a maximum of 8 amps per phase (at 208Vac line) when used to drive a load of 50
ohms. Under conditions of mismatch, the amplifier could draw slightly more current.
Nominal Input: 208 VAC, 3 Phase
50/60 Hz
8 Amps
This system utilizes 3 wire plus ground (no neutral) wiring.
B. Cooling Requirements
The CPS 1001 requires 6 liters/minute (1.5 gallons per minute) to cool sufficiently. The inlet
water pressure should not exceed 60PSI. Water temperature should not exceed 35°C, and
should not fall below a temperature where excess condensation could develop within the unit.
The ambient air temperature of the generator should not exceed 35°C. There should be
enough room over the top of the amplifier and along the sides to permit unobstructed airflow
through and around the unit.

C. Installation Procedures
1. This equipment must be installed in accordance with the directives of PREN50178 and
EN60208-1 / IEC-208-1.
2. This equipment is qualified to operate at pollution degree II and installation category II.
3. This equipment is intended to be powered from a 208VAC, 3 Phase source. For use at
other voltages, a safety isolation transformer must be used to power thisequipment in
accordance with the directives of EN60742 / IEC-742.
4. The installation of this equipment must assure that the AC power connector (UL/CSA) is
not accessible to the user/operator. Access may be gained only by a qualified service
technician.
5. Customer supplied AC mains connector installation to be in accordance with local
requirements
CAUTION: There are no user serviceable parts inside this equipment. Refer all service to a qualified
service technician.
VI. Operating Instructions
Operating and monitoring the CPS-1001 generator is accomplished either locally at the front panel or
remotely. A front panel toggle switch selects either local or remote control. The remote monitoring and
control interface is handled through the rear panel mounted 15-pin female “D” type connector, called J1.
A. Local Operation
1. Install 50 ohm coaxial load to output terminal of generator. Attach interlock sleeve on
output cable to capture output cable interlock. The generator is normally supplied with
Type N coaxial connectors. RG-8/u cable is sufficient to carry the output power from
generator to load. Load should have at least 1500W dissipation rating.
2. Pin 11 or rear panel connector J1 must be grounded to enable the main power contactor
(Pin 12 is ground). Pin 4 of rear panel connector J1 must be connected to Pin 9 (RF
enable).
3. With the front panel circuit breaker in the “OFF” position, attach the primary supply line
to the appropriate supply mains.
NOTE: Units are shipped wired for 208V, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz unless specified by
customer.
4. Place local/remote switch in “LOCAL” position.
5. Rotate power control knob fully counter-clockwise.
6. Check that cooling water is on.
7. Check to confirm that all cover and cable interlocks are satisfied.
8. Turn on the front panelcircuit power breaker.
9. Turn power control knob clockwise until full power is indicated on front panel power
meter. (Reflected power will not indicate.)

11
B. Remote Control Operation
1. To control power remotely, a positive DC voltage must be applied to Pin 5 of J1 (Pin 6 is
the return.) Control voltage of 0 to 10V yields an output of 0 to 1000 watts. Voltages put
on this pin exceeding 10 volts will produce higher power up to a point. However, warranty
of the unit cannot be maintained if the unit exceeds its design rating of 1000 watts.
2. Forward and reflected power can be monitored remotely through Pins 3 and 2 respectively
(Pin 6 is the return). Forward power is related linearly to 0 to 5 VDC corresponding to 0
to 1000 watts. Reflected power relates 0 to 5 VDC linearly to 0 to 1000 watts. (Optional
0 to 10 VDC may be chosen for full scale power monitoring.)

VII. Theory of Operation
The CPS-1001/S/13.56MHZ is a high frequency RF generator. The power source consists of three DC
Power Supplies, oscillator control board, driver, power amplifier, directional coupler and integrated meter
assembly. Schematic diagram dwg# FP0213RI is a compete system drawing down to the module level.
A. DC Power Supply (schem dwg# FP0213RI)
The DC supply consists of a three-phase transformer, a three phase full-wave, bridge rectifier,
and low-pass filter for the high current DC power supply. This supply is used primarily by the
driver and power amplifier (PA). There are two regulated low current power supplies. Both
are on the integrated meter assembly printed circuit board (+/-15VDC). The +/-15VDC
supplies are used in the oscillator control board (OCB) and on the integrated meter board.
The outputs of this stage are:
150 VDC max. Unloaded
41 VDC Loaded (1000 watts RF output)
1+15 VDC Regulated 250 mA max.
1-15 VDC Regulated 150 mA max.
B. Oscillator Control Board (schem dwg# FA0401RE)
The oscillator is a hermetically sealed crystal circuit clockoscillator with a frequency stability
of .01%. The signal from the oscillator is buffered and amplified by two stages of gain. This
signal is now fed into the OCB output stage. The output is a class “C” amplifier stage. Output
power of this stage varies from 0 to 1.0 watts by changing VCC. The VCC is changed via the
ALC (automatic level control) circuit. There are no trimming or adjustments required in the
RF part of the circuit due to its broadband and low “Q” matching networks.
The automatic levelcontrol (ALC) circuitry smoothes output power control and stabilizes
output power against line and load variations. Control is achieved through the MC34082

12
operational amplifier, U5A. This op-amp compares the forward power signal (from the
directional coupler board) to that of the DC reference signal applied to the non-inverting input.
The reference level is set either from the front panel potentiometer or from Pin 5 of the J1
connector.
When the reference is applied to the U5A, it drives the gain control transistor Q4, until the
squared forward power signal from the directional coupler is equal to the inverting input to the
op-amp provided by the reference. When the inverting signal equals the reference voltage on
the non-inverting input, the drive level holds constant.
The non-inverting input is the connection point for the protection circuits. The OCMA pulls
this point down when the load conditions force the amplifiers near their over-voltage, or over-
current limits. This limits the drive to the amplifiers until the match between the generator and
the load is corrected.
The reflected power limiter performs in the same way. When the signal from the reflected
power detector in the directional coupler reaches a pre-set limit, the U5B amplifier pulls-down
the reference line until the VSWR conditions are within safe limits.
The oscillator control board also includes linearizing circuitry, allowing both forward and
reflected analog power level signals to appear at connector J1 as linear representations of the
forward and reflected RF output power. Two squaring ICs (U2 and U4) are used to condition
the square law signals from the directional coupler.

C. Driver (schem dwg# FA0207R2)
The CPS-1001 driver consists of a two transistor “Class C” power amplifier stage. The output
stage of the driver feeds a splitter. The split signals are then used to feed the final power
amplifiers. With an input of 1.8 watts, a typical output would be 25 watts x2.

13
D. PA 1000/S Power Amplifier
The PA 1000 uses eight power bipolar transistors arranged in four pairs of push-pull class “C”
amplifiers. The input power from the driver is matched with a wideband transformer, T11 and
T13. The driver inputs are then split into two signals with T12 and T14 and fed into four push-
pull transformers T7-T8. Each of these four transformers drives the bases of two power
transistors. The transistors are operated common source with feedback.
The collector signals are coupled by a push-pull hybrid combiner T15, T18, T20, T23. The
outputs of these combiners are once again added together two two-way hybrid combiners.
There are no adjustments on the PA 1000/S.

E. Directional Coupler (schem dwg# FA0105RC)
The directional coupler has two detectors that monitor forward and reflected power. The
directional coupler produces voltages, which are proportional to the square of both forward and
reflected power. The signals from the two detectors are produced from inductive (current) and
capacitive (voltage) taps off the output line. The forward power and reflected power signals
are fed into the OCB where they are linearized. They are then used to drive the front panel
meters and for remote output monitoring. The reflected power signal is only present when the
generator is driving a load that is not purely resistive, or not 50 ohms. This signal is also used
to drive the VSWR shutdown circuitry.
F. CPS Meter Board (schem dwg # FA0603RE)
The CPS meter board is the major connection and routing point in the CPS generators. It is
also the location for the +/-15vdc and +12vdc power supplies, interlock transformer, over
voltage (OV) and over current (OC) foldback circuits, enable circuit and over temp circuit.
VIII. Adjustments and Calibration
The only adjustments required on the CPS-1001/S are made to the monitoring and transistor
protection circuitry. All of these adjustments have been performed at the factory and generally
will never have to be readjusted.
CAUTION: Unauthorized resetting of any adjustments will void the warranty.
A. Over Voltage / Over Current Adjustment
The OV OC potentiometer adjustments are located on the CPS meter board (R22 and R21).
These adjustments should be altered only when the generator is operating into a 50 ohm real
load. The procedure for adjustment is as follows:

14
1. Install 50 ohm coaxial cable from the output of the generator to the input of a RF
wattmeter, and from the meter to a 50 ohm coaxial load. The generator is normally
supplied with Type N coaxial connectors. RG-8/u cable is sufficient to carry the output
power from generator to load. Load and RF wattmeter should have at least 1500W
dissipation rating.
2. Pin 11 of rear panel connector J1 must be grounded to enable the main power contactor
(Pin 12 is ground). Pin 4 of rear panel connector J1 must be connected to Pin 9 (RF
enable).
3. With the front panel circuit breaker in the “OFF” position, attach primary supply line to
appropriate supply mains.
NOTE: Units are shipped wired for 208V, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz, unless specified by
customer.
4. Place local/remote switch in “LOCAL” position.
5. Rotate power control knob fully counter-clockwise.
6. Check that cooling water is on.
7. Turn on front panel main power breaker.
8. Turn power control knob clockwise until full power is indicated on front panel power
meter. Reflected power will not indicate.
9. Turn R21 and R22 adjustments to their maximum counter-clockwise limit. Maximum
power should now be at least 1400W.
10. Start turning OC R21 adjustment clockwise until output power drops; then back off
adjustment ¼ of a turn.
11. Turn the OV R22 adjustment clockwise until output power drops to 1350W.
B. VSWR Adjustment
The VSWR set is located in the oscillator control board (OCB) and is adjusted by R1 (10 K
pot). Under high VSWR conditions Q6 is biased onand pulls the control voltage low. When
this circuitry is activated, the unit will limit output power until the high VSWR condition is
eliminated. The oscillator module is set to go into protected operation when there is 200W
reflected. The procedure for adjustment is as follows:
1. Install 50 ohm coaxial cable from the output of the generator to the input of a RF
wattmeter. Leave the other end of the wattmeter open circuited.
2. Pin 11 of rear panel connector J1 must be grounded to enable the main power contactor
(Pin 12 is ground). Pin 4 of rear panel connector J1 must be connected to Pin 9 (RF
enable).
3. With the front panel circuit breaker in the “OFF” position, attach the primary supply line
to the appropriate supply mains.
NOTE: Units are shipped wired for 208V, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz unless specified by
customer.
4. Place local/remote switch in “LOCAL” position.

5. Rotate power control knob fully counter-clockwise.
6. Check that cooling water is on.
7. Turn on front panel main power breaker.
8. Turn power control knob clockwise until 200 W is indicated on the RF wattmeter.
9. Turn adjustment until the reflected power indication on the wattmeter just starts to drop.
10. Slowly turn power control knob clockwise if the reflected power indicated on the
wattmeter starts to rise, then go to step 9. Repeat this loop until the power control has
reached its maximum setting.
C. Output Power and Forward Power Monitor Calibration
The CPS-1001/S has a DC voltage output proportional to forward power. This voltage is
factory adjusted for 5 VDC on J1 Pin 3 when the generator is running at 1000W forward into a
50 ohm load. (The forward power calibration can be optionally set at other levels.)
1. Install 50 ohm coaxial cable from the output of the generator to the input of a RF
wattmeter and from the meter to a 50 ohm coaxial load. The generator is normally
supplied with Type N coaxial connectors. RG8/u cable is sufficient to carry the output
power from generator to load. Load and RF wattmeter should have at least a 1500W
dissipation rating.
2. Pin 11 of rear panel connector J1 must be grounded to enable the main power contactor
(Pin 12 is ground). Pin 4 of rear panel connector J1 must be connected to Pin 9 (RF
enable).
3. With front panel circuit breaker in the “OFF” position, attach primary supply line to
appropriate supply mains.
NOTE: Units are shipped wired for 208V, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz unless specified by
customer.
4. Place local/remote switch in “LOCAL” position.
5. Rotate power control knob fully counter-clockwise.
6. Check that cooling water is on.
7. Turn on front panel main power breaker.
8. Turn power control knob clockwise until there is 10.00 VDC on the SETPT (set point) test
point in the oscillator control module (OCB).
9. Adjust the FWD OUT pot (R34) until there is 5 VDC at the R40 FO test point.
10. Set the CAL pot (R44) until there is 1000W displayed on the RF wattmeter.
11. Turn power control knob until there is 1.00 VDC on the SETPT (set point) test point.
12. Adjust the CAL ZERO pot (R56) until there is 100W displayed on the RF wattmeter.
13. Go to step 8. Repeat this loop until the generator outputs the correct power at the 1.00 and
10.00 VDC setpoints.

14. Set R2 on the meter board so that at the 10.00 VDC setpoint the FORWARD POWER
meter reads 1000W.
D. Reflected Monitor Calibration
The CPS-1001/S has a DC voltage output proportional to reflected power. This is set by the
following procedure:
1. Install 50 ohm coaxial cable from the output of the generator to the input of a RF
wattmeter. Leave the other end of the wattmeter open circuited.
2. Pin 11 of rear panel connector J1 must be grounded to enable the main power contactor
(Pin 12 is ground). Pin 4 of rear panel connector J1 must be connected to Pin 9 (RF
enable).
3. With the front panel circuit breaker in the “OFF” position, attach primarysupply line to
appropriate supply mains.NOTE: Units are shipped wired for 208V, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz
unless specified by customer.
4. Place local/remote switch in “LOCAL” position.
5. Rotate power control knob fully counter-clockwise.
6. Check that cooling water is on.
7. Turn on front panel main power breaker.
8. Turn power control knob clockwise until 200 W is indicated on the RF wattmeter.
9. Adjust RFL OUT pot (R32) until the voltage at R28 RO is equal to the voltage at R40 FO.
10. Adjust R1 on the meter board until the REFLECTED POWER meter equals the setting on
the forward meter.
