3. First Aid
The personnel employed in the installation, use and maintenance of the device,
shall be familiar with theory and practice of first aid.
3.1 Treatment of electrical shocks
3.1.1 If victim is not responsive
follow the A-B-C's of basic life support
• Place victim flat on his backon a hard surface.
• Open airway: lift up neck, push forehead back
• clear out mouth if necessary and observe for breathing
• if not breathing, begin artificial breathing (Figure 2): tilt head, pinch nostrils,
make airtight seal, four quick full breaths. Remember mouth to mouth
resuscitation must be commenced as soon as possible
Figure 1 Figure 2
• Check carotid pulse (Figura 3); if pulse is absent, begin artificial
circulation(Figura 4) depressing sternum 1 1/2" TO 2" (Figure 5).
Figura 3 Figura 4 Figura 5
• APPROX. 80 SEC. : ONE RESCUER, 15 COMPRESSIONS
• APPROX. 60 SEC.: TWO RESCUERS, 5 COMPRESSIONS, 1 BREATH
• DO NOT INTERRUPT RHYTHM OF COMPRESSIONS WHEN SECOND
PERSON IS GIVING BREATH
• Call for medical assistance as soon as possible.

3.1.2 If victim is responsive
•Keep them warm
•Keep them as quiet as possible
•Loosen their clothing (a reclining position is recommended)
•Call for medical help as soon as possible
3.2 Treatment of electrical Burns
3.2.1 Extensive burned and broken skin
•Cover area with clean sheet or cloth (Cleansed available cloth article).
•Do not break blisters, remove tissue, remove adhered particles of clothing,or
apply any salve or ointment.
•Treat victim for shock as required.
•Arrange transportation to a hospital as quickly as possible.
•If arms or legs are affected keep them elevated
If medical help will not be available within an hour and the victim is conscious and
not vomiting, give him a weak solution of salt and soda: 1 level teaspoonful of salt
and 1/2 level teaspoonful of baking soda to each quart of water (neither hot or
cold). Allow victim to sip slowly about 4 ounces (half a glass) over a period of 15
minutes. Discontinue fluid if vomiting occurs
Do not give alcohol
3.2.2 Less severe burns (1st and 2nd degree)
• Applycool (not ice cold)compresses using the cleansedavailable cloth article.
•Do not break blisters, remove tissue, remove adhered particles of clothing, or
apply salve or ointment.

4. General Description
4.1 Mechanical Description
The VJ1000 is housed in a 19" rack-mountable frame, 14U high, of which 4U are free
and may be used for an exciter, a receiver or other equipment.
All controls and switches are situated on the front panel together with two analog meters.
There are no connectors on the rear panel.
Both the cooling air inlet complete with fan and filter, and the power cable entry hole may be
found on this panel.
A flue may be found on the top of the unit for the expulsion of hot air used for coooling the
unit, together with the RF output connector (to be connected to the antenna).
4.2 Electrical Description
The VJ1000 is a tube amplifier with an earthed grid allowing a wide-band input (no
calibration across the band) from 87.5 to 108MHz.
This amplifier is able to generate an output power of over 1KW from an input power of
approx. 20/25W.
The amplifier features motorized anode and load matching across the entire operational
band.
The VJ1000 is available in single phase version.
4.3 Controls and Indicators
Two analog meters are present on the front panel; one measures direct power output
and reflected power output (1 Fig.1), the other measures plate and grid currents (3 Fig.1).
The output power meter has only one scale 1KW f.s.,both for the measurement of the direct
power output and for reflected power output.
The meter for the measurements of the grid and plate currents has two scales too; one for
1A f.s.for the measurement of the grid current and for 100mA for the grid current.
For each of these meters there are the relative reading selector
(2 and 4 Fig.1).
In central position there are some switches and led indicators that concern to the plate and
load tuning: the two led indicators signal respectively the stop for the plate tuning at 87.5
MHz (6 Fig.1) and at 108 MHz (8 Fig.1), while the three selectorsare used rispectively for to
enable the engines of tuning (5 Fig.1), for the plate tuning (7 Fig.1) and for the load tuning (9
Fig.1).
Then there are three led indicators that signal alarms: for an excess of R.O.S. (10 Fig.1), for
insufficient fan pressure (11 Fig.1) and for an excess of grid current (12 Fig.1).
