PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Crescend Technologies C5 Series of RF power amplifiers are designed for trunking

and conventional repeater applications. Rack mountable and designed to accept a range

of input powers for a given rated output power, each amplifier covers a broad range of

frequencies without retuning. Closed loop power control is used to maintain a constant

output power under varying voltage, signal input, frequency and output load conditions.

Several design features work to protect the amplifier under adverse conditions.

Designed to fit in 7 inches of rack space, the C5 front panel includes status LED indicators

for DC and Alarm conditions. RF Input, RF Output, DC, summary alarm and power

cutback connections are found on the back of the amplifier. A rear mounted fan brings in

air from the back and blows the air across the heat sink fins exiting out the sides of the

amplifier.
