SAFETY NOTES
The following warnings and precautions are for your
safety and the prevention of injury. Read them carefully
and observe at all times when installing or operating
the N6081. Hazard warning signs, as defined in
BS5378 Safety Signs and Colours are used on the
equipment to highlight any possible hazards.
Mains Supply
(Amplifier Only)
A mains supply disconnection device must be pro-
vided to isolate the amplifier from the mains supply
source. Either a socket outlet or a two-pole isolation
switch must be used as the mains supply disconnec-
tion device, and it must be easily accessible. The
mains connector must not be used as the mains
supply disconnection device.
RF Radiation
Exposure of the human body to microwave radiation
can constitute a hazard (ANSI/IEEE C95-1-1992).
Personnel must be protected from microwave energy
within the RF system.
All RF connectors must be correctly fitted before
operation, so that there is no leakage of RF energy. The
control unit must not be operated unless the RF output
connection is correctly terminated. It is particularly
hazardous to look into open waveguides, coaxial
feeders, or transmitter antennae when the control unit
is operating.
High Temperature
High power RF loads connected to RF systems can be
at temperatures in excess of 80
8
C.
Maintenance
Do not remove the covers unless the supply is
disconnected. The supply should not be reconnected
until all of the covers have been refitted.
ENVIRONMENTAL
