AMETEK CTS TWT 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 TWT 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 TWT 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 TWT Amplifiers Use cable with the lowest loss that is practical. The connectors or wave guide should not be over-tightened, and any tightening instructions for the connector or wave guide should be observed. Ensure that any bends in ca- bles conform to the recommended minimum-bend-radius of those cables, especially where the cables enter the RF connectors.
