KPA1500

[Larry P. Greenberg]

My KPA1500 faults on all bands and goes offline.  The reset button quickly gets it back up only to fault again.  The error message is:

                Fault: 12V supply
                10.8 volts

The line voltage is stable with a pair of #10’s going to the breaker box.

Anybody got any ideas before I call support?

Larry, not enough info to help out.  If you have followed the manual and experienced this you have something very serious happening.  You probably don’t have good load.  If you have a dummy load, then connect output to it and try again.   A call to tech support would be best bet in your case.

Hi Larry,

Take a look at the control cable between the KPA1500 power supply and the RF
deck. A loose cable could cause this issue.

Make sure its plugged in firmly with the screws tightened on the connectors.

If there is still a fault, please contact [hidden email] (if you haven't
already) and we will help you get it resolved.

73,
Eric
