ONSIDERATIONS
The VSWR protection at the output of the amplifier is designed to protect the unit against
accidental operation with no load at the RF output connector by causing the SSPA to shutdown
automatically.
Please note that failure of the amplifier due to above condition will be attributed to abuse or
neglect and is not covered by our standard warranty.
WARNING:
Prolonged operation without a load at the output may cause severe bodily
harm, loss of sight, even death. Do not operate amplifier if the output RF connector is not
connected to a load.
