RF POWER SUPPLY and MATCHINGBOX 3. Preparation 3. Preparation This section lists the necessary preparation and cautions from receiving this product until it can be used. 3-1. Check of accessories Table 3-1 PHS-N standard accessories Product name Remarks Quantity For single phase 100 V, 3 m (1) AC 100 V input cable User terminal AC 100 V (3 prongs with ground) HDAB-15S(05)
RF POWER SUPPLY and MATCHINGBOX 3. Preparation Danger: To prevent electric shock, always implement a protective ground before switching on the power of this equipment. The power supply cord included with this equipment is a three-prong cord with ground wire. Therefore, use a three-prong outlet with a protective ground terminal.
3. Preparation RF POWER SUPPLY and MATCHINGBOX Equipment must be used at an altitude of 2,000 m or lower. Ensure good airflow to the front and rear sides. Establish a gap of 10 cm from the front side and 10 cm or more from the rear side. When equipment will be installed in the cabinet or similar location, use panels with air-intake holes on the front and rear sides, and set a structure for the rear side so that heat does not accumulate inside.
