FEATURES
DU-1500T
The DU 1500 optimizes the performance of your antenna and transmitter or SWL receiver
By providing adjustable impedance matching.The DU 1500 also measures the Power and
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR),which allows you to tune the indicted SWR to the lowest possible ratio for the selected transmit frequency.

CONTROL/CONNECTORS
FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
1. Output (Transmitter)
Continously adjustable input capacitor
2. POWER/SWR METER
Dual needle meter displays FORWARD and REFLECTED Power in Watts.
The SWR in measured where the two needles intersect on the red scale.
3. INPUT (Antenna)
Continuously adjustable output capacitor.
4. DIRECT-TUNED MODE SWITCH
Five-position rotary switch an output coaxial connector.
1.TUNED COAX 1 selects theCOAX 1connector trough the impedace matching
circuit.
2.TUNED COAX 2 selects the COAX 2 connector trough the impedance matching
circuit.
3.DIRECT BYPASS selects BYPASS COAX connector bypassing the impedanc
matching circuit but provinding SWR,FORWARD,and REFLECTED power
meter readings.
4.DIRECT COAX 1 select the COAX 1 connector bypassing the impedance
matching circuit but providingSWR,FORWARD, and REFLECTED meter
readings.
5.DIRECT COAX 2 selects the COAX 2 connector bypassing the impedance
matching circuit but providing SWR,FORWARD,and REFLECTED meter
readings.
TUNED WIRE/BAL selects the BAL.LINE+COAX 1 connector through the
impedance matching circuit.
RANGE SWITCH
Two-position switch selects the range (200W or 2kW) of FORWARD and
REFLECTED Power displayed ont he power meter.
When the METER ( power range) switch 200W the FORWARD meter
Scale reads 200W full scaleand the REFLECTED meter scalereads 40W
Full scale.
When the METER switch 2kW,the FORWARD meter scale reads 2kW
Full scale and the REFLECTED meter scale reads 400W full scale.
REAR PANEL CONNECTORS
- RF INPUT
Coaxial connector for input from SWL receiver or transmitter.
2 COAX 1
Coaxial connector for output to Antenna One.
3. COAX 2
Coaxial connector for output to Antenna Two.
4. BYPASS
Coaxial connector for output to dummy load or third coax output.
5. GROUND
Post/Wing-nut type ground connector.
6 BALANCED OUTPUT
Two ceramic post for output toRF balanced twin-lead antennas.
7. Install Jumper
INSTALLATION
Select a location for the DU 1500 that allows the connectors to be free of any possible
Contact during operation.
WARNING:SOME BALANCED OR END-FED ANTENNAS WILL PRODUCE
HIGH RF VOLTAGES AT THE BANANA CONNECTORS.RF
BURNS MAY RESULT IF TOUCHED DURING TRANSMISSION.
