Protecting Against Overpowering
The input circuitry of the analyzer can be damaged by applying signals that exceed
the maximum safe input level of +30 dBm average total power or +0.2 Vdc (when
DC coupled) or +50 Vdc (when AC coupled). Refer to the analyzer's specification
guide for more details regarding the Maximum Safe Input Level. Repairing damage
to the input circuitry can be expensive.
If the analyzer will be used to measure signals which might be near the maximum
safe input level, use external attenuators and/or limiters to help protect the analyzer
input. The External Gain, amplitude Corrections, and/or Ref Lvl Offset features may
be used to compensate for the gains and losses of external devices. External Gain and
Corrections are under the Input/Output menu and Ref Lvl Offset is under the
AMPTD Y-Scale menu.
Instrument Maintenance
Operator is responsible to maintain safe operating cond itions. To ensure safe operating
WARNING
cond itions, modules should not be operated beyond the full temperature range
specified in the Environmental and physical specification. Exceed ing safe operating
cond itions can resul t in shorter lifespans, improper module performance and user
safety issues. When the modules are in use and operation within the specified full
temperature range is not maintained, module surface temperatures may exceed safe
handling cond itions which can cause d iscomfort or burns if touched. In the event of a
module exceed ing the full temperature range, al ways allow the module to cool before
touching or removing modules from chassis.
Cleaning Connectors
Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the instrument power cord
removed, and in a well-ventilated area. Allow all residual alcohol moisture to
evaporate, and the fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a tightly closed
WARNING
container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire, use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or
carbon d ioxide; water may be ineffective.
Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. It causes skin irritation, may cause eye damage, and is harmful if swallowed or
inhaled. It may be harmful if absorbed through the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In case of spill, soak up with sand or earth. Flush spill area with water.
Dispose of isopropyl alcohol in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local
environmental regulations.
