With no anode input power.The heater voltage must be reduced within 5 secondsafter the application of HT according to the scheduleshown on page 3.The magnetron heater must be protected against arcingby the use of a minimum capacitance of 4000 pFshunted across the heater directly at the input terminals;in some cases a capacitance as high as 2 mF may benecessary depending on the equipment design. Forfurther details see the <strong>Magnetron</strong> Preamble.2. The tuner mechanism is driven by means of the threethreaded holes in the tuner knob (see outline) via aflexible drive. The minimum torque required is 0.7 kgcm;the torque applied must not exceed 5.0 kg-cm.3. It is recommended that the magnetron is mounted in theelectromagnet by flange B so that the external polepieceis in contact with the electromagnet poleface. Careshould be taken in mounting the electromagnet, so thatno mechanical stress is applied to the magnetron stemprotruding through the electromagnet poleface.4. To minimise frequency deviation when the magnetron isrotated about a horizontal axis, this axis should beparallel to the axis of the tuner.5. The magnetron is designed for use with anelectromagnet type MG6053 which can be supplied ifrequired. The north seeking poleface of the magnetmust be adjacent to the magnetron anode face which isopposite the cathode stem. The axis of the field is in linewith the axis of the anode and is at right angles to the Hplane of the system waveguide. The user is invited toconsult <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> on the choice ofelectromagnets.6. Defined as the steepest tangent to the leading edge ofthe voltage pulse above 80% amplitude. Anycapacitance in the viewing system must not exceed6.0 pF.7. It is recommended that the magnetron should beisolated from the load by means of an isolator ofapproved design. Information on the characteristics of asuitable isolator may be obtained from <strong>E2V</strong><strong>Technologies</strong>.8. At the maximum pressure of 3.1 kg/cm 2 gauge themaximum leakage will be such that with an enclosedvolume of 1 litre the pressure will not drop by more than70 kPa in 7 days.<strong>MG5349</strong>, page 2# <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>
9. The frequency of the magnetron will vary during the first30 seconds after the application of anode voltage.Typically the frequency will be 1.0 MHz high 5 secondsafter switching on HT and 0.2 MHz high 60 secondsafter switching on.10. The maximum variation of peak output power when themagnetron is rotated through 3608 around any axis ofthe magnetron will not be greater than 4%.11. With a water flow rate 5.0 litres per minute. Otherfrequency ranges can be supplied on request.12. The maximum variation of frequency when themagnetron is rotated through 3608 around any axis ofthe magnetron will not be greater than 0.7 MHz.13. With the magnetron operating into a VSWR of 1.15:1.Pulses are defined as missing when the RF energy levelis less than 70% of the normal energy level in a 0.5%frequency range. Missing pulses are expressed as apercentage of the number of input pulses applied duringthe period of observation after a period of 10 minutesoperation.14. Measured with heater voltage of 14 V and no anodeinput power, the heater current limits are 7.0 Aminimum, 9.0 A maximum.HEATER VOLTAGE REDUCTIONSCHEDULEHEATER VOLTAGE (V)161412108642UPPER LIMITLOWER LIMIT6463A00 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0MEAN INPUT POWER (kW)RECOMMENDED PARAMETERS FOR VARIOUS POWER LEVELSMAGNETIC FIELD (GAUSS)1100 1200 1300 1400 1500 16003.5MAGNETIC FIELD (mT)110 120 130 140 150 1606493A3.02.5OUTPUT POWER (MW)2.01.51.0NORMALOPERATINGCONDITIONS30 35 40 45 50 55ANODE VOLTAGE (kV)75 80 90 100 110 115ANODE CURRENT (A)73 1 / 2 73 72 71 0FREQUENCY CHANGE (MHz)# <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>MG5349</strong>, page 3

HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS<strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> magnetrons are safe to handle and operate,provided that the relevant precautions stated herein areobserved. <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> does not accept responsibility fordamage or injury resulting from the use of electronic devices itproduces. Equipment manufacturers and users must ensurethat adequate precautions are taken. Appropriate warninglabels and notices must be provided on equipmentsincorporating <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> devices and in operatingmanuals.High VoltageEquipment must be designed so that personnel cannot comeinto contact with high voltage circuits. All high voltage circuitsand terminals must be enclosed and fail-safe interlock switchesmust be fitted to disconnect the primary power supply anddischarge all high voltage capacitors and other stored chargesbefore allowing access. Interlock switches must not bebypassed to allow operation with access doors open.RF RadiationPersonnel must not be exposed to excessive RF radiation. AllRF connectors must be correctly fitted before operation so thatno leakage of RF. energy can occur and the RF output must becoupled efficiently to the load. It is particularly dangerous tolook into open waveguide or coaxial feeders while the device isenergised. Screening of the cathode sidearm of high powermagnetrons may be necessary.X-Ray RadiationHigh voltage magnetrons emit a significant intensity of X-raysnot only from the cathode sidearm but also from the outputwaveguide. These rays can constitute a health hazard unlessadequate shielding for X-ray radiation is provided. This is acharacteristic of all magnetrons and the X-rays emittedcorrespond to a voltage much higher than that of the anode.Whilst <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> has taken care to ensure the accuracy of the information contained herein it accepts no responsibility for the consequences of any usethereof and also reserves the right to change the specification of goods without notice. <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> accepts no liability beyond that set out in its standardconditions of sale in respect of infringement of third party patents arising from the use of tubes or other devices in accordance with information contained herein.<strong>MG5349</strong>, page 6Printed in England# <strong>E2V</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>
