It is produced by the EIN RF Power Amplifier located at the bottom of the same rack. When it is running, the manual switch is set to the ON position, the red LED is steady and the needle on the display is above zero. The AC current comes out from the BNC OUTPUT plug, goes through a current monitor (looks like a small toroid) and finally goes to the RF coils. In the hall, the cable is connected to the RF coils along the RF mounting using simple connectors with screws. Those are protected by electrical black tape. They should never be touched when the RF Power Amplifier is running. The grounding of the system is provided by the RF Power Amplifier.
