AMETEK CTS Solid State Amplifiers Safety Safety Aspects The amplifier described in this manual is designed to be used only by qualified personnel. Installation and use of the amplifier in a manner not specified in this manual may impair the protection provided by the amplifier. Before use, inspect the amplifier for damage which may impair safety.

AMETEK CTS Solid State Amplifiers WARNING: Do not touch the inner conductor of the RF-output connector. High voltages can occur on the inner conductor of the RF output connector, or on cables or anten- nas connected to it. These can cause RF burns if touched.

AMETEK CTS Solid State Amplifiers Use the safety interlock facility within danger areas. WARNING: Any area where personnel may come into direct contact with high power RF, or be exposed to non-ionising ra- diation, should be designated as a danger area. A barrier should be established around any such area, with a switch in place when the barrier is broken.
AMETEK CTS Solid State Amplifiers Installation General CAUTION! Exercise care when lifting. Amplifier models that are very heavy have a caution label on the top cover. Appropriate lifting practices should be observed during transportation, installation, or removal of the amplifier from its mounting position. When mounted in a rack, the amplifier must not be supported by the front panel fixing holes alone.
AMETEK CTS Solid State Amplifiers CAUTION: Ensure any cables and connectors mating with the RF input and RF output connectors are of 50-ohm impedance and are designed to handle the power at the frequencies generated by the amplifier. Although very similar, 75-ohm connectors must not be used.
