Read this manual and become familiar with safety markings and instructions. 

Inspect unit for any sign of external damage. Do not use this equipment if there is physical damage or missing 

parts. 

Verify the input AC voltage to the main power supply 

 

INTENDED USE 

This product is intended for general laboratory use in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications.   

 

RF OUTPUT LOAD & PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED 

The RF output connector must be connected to a load before the AC switch is on. 

AC & RF power must be off before disconnecting the output load or other components. 

The main power source to the equipment must have an uninterrupted safety ground that has sufficient size to
