----------------------------------------------- WARNING -----------------------------------------------------
When supplying power to this equipment, use the 3-pin connector provided, to connect to a
grounded power outlet. If power is supplied without grounding to the equipment, there is a risk
of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
In the context of this document any voltage that is lethal is viewed as 'High Voltage'. Therefore,
even prime power (90 to 264 V AC) is dangerous because prime power potentials have been
known to cause death or injury.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------------------------
The operator cannot repair this equipment. DO NOT attempt to remove the equipment cover
or to disassemble internal components. Only qualified service technicians should service this
equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of severe injury to
untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.
----------------------------------------------- WARNING ----------------------------------------------------
ALWAYS TERMINATE THE OUTPUT WAVEGUIDE OF THE AMPLIFIER WITH AN
RF LOAD CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING FULL CW RF POWER. SIMILARLY
TERMINATE THE INPUT TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AMPLIFIER
BEING DRIVEN BY STRAY LEAKAGE SIGNALS. Incorporate the termination prior to
applying prime power to the amplifier. This procedure prevents self-oscillation and irradiation of
the local environment. Even if a source is not connected to the amplifier you are working with,
there are situations where the amplifier can go into a self-induced mode and generate high levels
of RF energy. Destruction caused under excessive load voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) will
void the warranty. Although the equipment has internal protection for VSWR higher than 3:1
and will automatically go in shutdown (with a delay of 1 second), still it is a safe procedure to
avoid unwanted effects.
