AVCOM PSA-37XP Owner's Manual page 3

IF ONE OR MORE COMPONENTS OF YOUR EARTH STATION IS CONNECTED TO
120 VOLT AC LINE CURRENT. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU GROUND ALL COMPONENTS
OF YOUR SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY THE ANTENNA, TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY
OF DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WHEN USING INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS THE PSA-37XP, POWER HAND TOOLS,
AND ANY OTHER APPLIANCE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET, EXERCISE
GREAT CARE TO ENSURE THAT THE DEVICE IS GROUNDED EFFECTIVELY TO
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT USE WHILE STANDING IN WATER, ON DAMP
EARTH, OR WHILE IN PERSONAL CONTACT WITH A CONDUCTING SURFACE SUCH
AS A METAL LADDER OR CHAIR.
ALSO:
♦
USE PROPERLY GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET OR EXTENSION CORD
♦
DO NOT CUT GROUNDING PIN FROM LINE CORD PLUG
♦
USE FUSES OF CORRECT AMPERAGE
♦
DISCONNECT LINE CORDS WHEN WORKING INSIDE RECEIVER OR ON ANTENNA
♦
ENSURE THE ANTENNA AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF YOUR EARTH STATION ARE PROP-
ERLY
♦
GROUNDED
♦
DO NOT SERVICE EQUIPMENT ALONE—WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN ADMINISTER HELP
AND FIRST AID
♦
PERSONS WORKING WITH LINE VOLTAGES SHOULD BE TRAINED IN AND CAPABLE OF PER-
FORMING FIRST AID AND RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUES
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
1. The PSA-37XP supplies +13/+18 VDC on the RF connectors to power most LNA's. It is the customers'
responsibility to ensure that the components being powered by the PSA -37XP are compatible with +13/
+18 VDC. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of the component.
2. Do not couple the input of the PSA-37XP to high power RF sources such as walkie-talkies, CB radios,
transmitters, etc. Signal levels in excess of 0 dBm can damage the sensitive mixers in the instrument re-
sulting in otherwise unnecessary expense and repairs. External DC voltage not to exceed 50 VDC.
3. HANDLE WITH CARE- The PSA-37XP Spectrum Analyzer is a precision instrument designed for nor-
mal operating and handling conditions. It should be protected from abuse such as dropping, throwing, and
other rough handling. When being transported in a vehicle, or shipped, the PSA -37XP must be cushioned
and protected against shock and vibration.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PSA-37XP
