SELECT MOD > 50dBuV To display the frequency push the SET key. In order to display the parameter push the SELECT key. Display Password The Password mode is factory set to enable, and is not possible change this SET. The default password is 1 2 3. The WAIT of changing the password is as follows: •...
SELECT CONFIRM (Y/N) ? N=SEL. Y=SET. If the password is not corrected an error is displayed: SELECT ERROR PASSWORD After few seconds display will show again the parameters. • When the password is corrected the display will show: SELECT NEW PASS . = SEL . NEW FREQ .
SELECT STORED NEW PASSWORD If the confirmation password is wrong the display will show: SELECT ERROR CONFIRMATION IMPORTANT NOTE ! BE CAREFULLY ! Once the password is set, it must be remembered otherwise neither can the frequency be changed or a new password entered. Display Change of Frequency.

Environmental conditions for the installation Each equipment produced by our Company has been carefully designed and tested in compliance with the European normative. The reported marks placed in the rear panel and in the manual are relevant to the tests realized on the equipment according to rigorous safety criteria advised by the Country where the equipment will operate.
Page 10
No material such as a rope, insulating material, or clothing should cover the equipment at any time. Make sure that no kind of materials or objects can somehow reduce the regular cooling air flow through the equipment. Before operating the equipment, make sure that all the advises reported in the manual are fully complied.
Page 11
Package description Any equipment is always supplied by us inside a suitable package for a safe freighting, to avoid damages to the equipment due to small shocks. Basically, the package is a carton box sealed with adhesive tape with the manufacturer brand name, then externally tighten by a wide plastic cord.
Page 12
Small equipment or spare modules are usually supplied with the following kind of package: 1) Carton box 2) Polythene bag 3) Polystyrene material to absorb mechanical shocks...

Installing operations The installation of any electrical equipment should be always made by technical and specifically trained technicians, who are supposed to be aware of the risks related to the connection to an electrical supply. Before proceeding to the installation, it is mandatory to verify that the general electrical supply is fully in compliance with the normative of the Country where the equipment will operate.
Page 14
Disregarding the above mentioned advises and recommendations will bring damages to the internal components and risk of fire Make sure that the equipment is placed in a stable and secure position, to easily allow the access to the front panel and to the rear panel too. This will permit in the future a simple and fast inspection of the connections if they are necessary.

Maintenance and cleanness Routine maintenance and cleanness can be exclusively done when the equipment is not connected to the mains. Disregarding this caution, may have the effect of serious problems to the personal safety. For no reasons, the equipment should have any contacts with water or other liquids.
Page 16
Safety Read this chapter carefully before installation and use of the equipment. Introduction The equipment described in this manual, has been designed for use by properly trained personnel only. Adjustment, maintenance and repair of the exposed equipment should only be carried out by qualified personnel who are aware of hazards involved.
Page 17
If adjustment, maintenance, or repair of the opened instrument is unavoidable, it must only be carried out by a skilled person who is aware of the hazards involved. Caution and Warning Statements Caution Used to indicate correct operation or maintenance in order to prevent damage to, or destruction of equipment or other property.
Page 18
The equipment is designed for the following environmental conditions: Indoor use Altitudes up to 2000 m Temperatures between +5 C and +45 Maximum relative humidity of 95% for temperatures up to 20 The equipment is equipped with a number of input and output terminals as described in the Chapter Product Data.
Page 19
Symbols Symbol Colour: Explanation: High voltage terminal: a terminal at which a voltage, with respect to another terminal or parts exists or may be adjusted to 1000 V or more. (High voltage > 1000 V). Black/Yellow Live part shock risk of electric shock.
Page 20
General safety recommendations When connecting the equipment to the power, please follow these important recommendations: This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more than 10% of the voltage specified on the rear panel between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground.
Page 21
Good practices In maintaining the equipment described in this manual, please keep in mind the following, standard good practices: When connecting any instrument (wattmeter, spectrum ana- lyzer, etc.) to a high frequency output, use the appropriate atten- uator or dummy load to protect the final amplifiers and the in- strument input.
