and can result in blindness or other injury. Personnel must be fully protected from the microwave energy
which radiates from this device. All input and output RF connections, waveguide flanges, and gaskets must
be RF leak proof and properly engaged. Never operate this device without a microwave-energy-absorbing
load. Personnel must be prevented from looking into open waveguide or antennas while this device is
energized. Equipment must be designed to protect all the personnel from the hazards. The label and caution
notices must be provided on the equipment and tin the manuals warning clearly of these hazards.
5.3.4 Protecting instrument
The following protection interlock is necessary to protect the klystron tube from change of the power-supply
voltage, breakdown of the focusing magnet and the cooling system, and unexpected abnormal circumstances.
