INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Review this manual and become familiar with all safety markings and instructions.
Verify that the equipment line voltage selection is compatible with the main power source.
Protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if used in a manner not specified by Amplifier Research.
INTENDED PURPOSES
This equipment is intended for general laboratory use in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications. It is
designed to be used in the process of generating, controlling and measuring high levels of electromagnetic Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Therefore the output of the amplifier must be connected to an appropriate load such as an
antenna or field generating device. It is the responsibility of the user to assure that the device is operated in a
location which will control the radiated energy such that it will not cause injury and will not violate regulatory levels
of electromagnetic interference.
HAZARDOUS RF VOLTAGES
The RF voltages on the center pin of the RF output connector can be hazardous. The RF output connector should
be connected to a load before AC power is applied to the amplifier. Do not come into contact with the center pin
of the RF output connector or accessories connected to it. Place the equipment in a non-operating condition before
disconnecting or connecting the load to the RF output connector.
SAFETY GROUND
This equipment is provided with a protective earth terminal. The main power source to the equipment must supply
an uninterrupted safety ground of sufficient size to the input wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord
set. The equipment MUST NOT BE USED if this protection is impaired.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE
The RF amplifier should not be operated if there is physical damage, missing hardware or missing panels.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION
Adjustment, maintenance, or repair of the equipment must be performed only by qualified personnel. Hazardous
energy may be present while protective covers are removed from the equipment even if disconnected from the
power source. Contact may result in personal injury. Replacement fuses are required to be of specific type and
current rating.
