The Comdel CDX 2000 is a dual RF generator that provides two independent RF outputs, one at 13.56 MHz and another at 400 kHz. Each output can deliver up to 1000 W of continuous forward power. The unit is designed for standard 19-inch EIA rack mounting.[1]
The CDX 2000 contains two separate RF sections, each with its own oscillator, control board, and power amplifier. The high-frequency section (13.56 MHz) delivers power into a 50 ohm coaxial cable feeding a matching network connected to a nonlinear plasma source. The low-frequency section (400 kHz) delivers power into an L-C parallel resonant load that is inductively coupled to a plasma and self-tunes to the resonance of the L-C resonator. The actual forward RF output power tracks the command setpoint when reflected power is less than 200 W for each output.[1]
The CDX 2000 is designed to power a nonlinear plasma source from its 13.56 MHz output and an inductively coupled plasma from its 400 kHz output.[1]

Ensure clearance around the unit for proper airflow and connect a proper RF load to each RF output connector. Connect the unit to 208 VAC nominal, three phase, and turn on the main power breaker. The CDX2000 powers up automatically when AC power is applied and the rear panel circuit breaker is in the ON position. To switch from remote to local control, double-push the mode button (>>) on the front panel.[1]
The 13.56 MHz output delivers 0 to 1000 W continuous forward power into a 50 ohm coaxial cable feeding a matching network connected to a nonlinear plasma source. The 400 kHz output delivers 0 to 1000 W continuous forward power into an L-C parallel resonant load which is inductively coupled to a plasma. The actual forward RF output power tracks the command setpoint when reflected power is less than 200 W for each output.[1]
The CDX2000 has mismatch protection (forward power foldback if reflected power exceeds 200 W), an AC line protection circuit breaker on the rear panel, an RF output power connection interlock, a safety interlock via control I/O signals, an over-temperature fault that disables output, and control signal protection against short circuits or up to 30 V AC/DC on input signals.[1]
The dry weight of the Comdel CDX2000 is 61.4 kg (135 lb.) maximum.[1]
The unit must be bonded to Protective Earth (safety ground) prior to operation. The safety ground connection should be made at the rear panel using the 1/4-20 threaded ground stud. The ground wire should be a minimum of #14 AWG or equivalent green/yellow lead and a PE Ground symbol is marked next to the stud.[1]
Operating range is +10 to +40 °C ambient, 5-85% relative humidity (non-condensing, no ice formation), and 86-106 kPa air pressure. Storage and transport ranges are -25 to +70 °C, 5-95% humidity, and 70-106 kPa.[1]
