Seller warrants (i) that seller has title to the goods sold and (ii) that Amplifiers (all parts excluding traveling 
wave and vacuum tubes), Antennas, field monitors, field probes, field analyzers, field analyzer processor 
units,  system  controllers,  system  interlock,  power  meters,  leak  detectors,  RF  conducted  probes,  RF 
conducted  clamps,  Multi-tone,  EMI  receiver  systems,  RF  down  converters,  RF  conducted  immunity 
systems,  conducted  immunity  accessories,  radiated  immunity  test  systems,  safety  meters,  safety  sensor 
heads, tripods,  directional  couplers,  waveguide  adapters, termination loads,  load  attenuators,  impedance 
stabilization  networks,  and  coaxial  cables  will  be  free  from  defects  in  material  and  workmanship  for  a 
period of three (3) years from date of shipment shown on AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation invoice.

 

All modules, used in the amplifiers for the 1-6 GHz, 4-18 GHz, 6-18 GHz, all HPM products, and other 
applications,  are  hermetically-sealed.  This  sealing  process  protects  the  internal  hybrid  circuitry  from 
humidity  that  could  compromise  the  long  term  reliability  of  the  product.    These  modules  are  not  field-
repairable and should 

never

 be opened outside of AR’s Microelectronics Lab.  The modules in these product 

lines have a security label on two sides of the modules between the housing and lid/cover. If the security 
label is removed and or cut, the warranty of the module will be voided. 

Vacuum tubes in the ‘L’ series amplifiers, traveling-wave tubes in TWT amplifiers, and power heads will 
be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year.  

Contact AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation for warranty information regarding items not listed.   

Seller’s sole responsibility in fulfilling these warranties shall be to repair or replace any goods which do 
not conform to the foregoing warranties or, at seller’s option, to give buyer credit for defective goods.  The 
warranty  is  valid  only  when  used  in  the  country  specified  at  time  of  order.    Warranty  service  must  be 
obtained from the repair facility designated at that time.  If warranty service is not available in the country 
where the equipment is to be used, it must be returned to AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation.  Warranty 
service will be provided only for defective goods which are returned within the warranty period, freight 
costs prepaid to AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation or its designated repair facility. 

There  are no  other  warranties,  express  or implied, including  any  warranty  of  merchantability  or fitness.  
Seller  shall  not  be  responsible  for  any  incidental  or  consequential  damages  arising  from  any  breach  of 
warranty. 

No person other than an officer of Amplifier Research Corporation, has any authority to bind seller to any 
affirmation,  representation  or  warranty  except  as  specifically  included  in  the  preceding  terms  and 
conditions.
