Damage caused by product misuse is NOT covered by warranty. Warranty Service The ARCHIMEDE 3000 is a high reliability equipment. Nevertheless, as any equipment which works 24 hours a day for years, some failures are possible. Because the reparation of the modules, inside the Amplifier, is very difficult on the field, we suggest in the event of any failure to contact our service.

Repairs may only be carried out by a person authorized by ITALAB. The ARCHIMEDE 3000 must be switched off and the power cord disconnected from the AC source when removing the top cover. Climatic Conditions In order to have the best performance in term of power, life span, etc, the following parameters must be respected: ...
The switching power supply, extremely compact and of excellent quality, is oversized for its final use. The ARCHIMEDE 3000 is run entirely by a powerful microprocessor that in real time controls all the important functions for an efficient work (ventilation, temperatures of the RF part, temperature of incoming and inner air, output power and reflected power).
Limitations of use can be applied in respect of operating frequency, transmitter power and/or channel spacing. Italab is not criminally and civilly liable for a not-legally authorized use. User's Manual ARCHIMEDE 3000 AR Page 7 of 40...
