Attenuator (30dB)

2.) 

Connect the Equipment as shown in Figure 4-2, then proceed as follows: 

 
a) 

Adjust the signal generator to a CW center frequency of 50 kHz, for an 
indicated output of 500 watts on the power meter. 

b) 

Using  the  spectrum  analyzer,  check  that  the  level  of  the  carrier 
harmonics is less than -10 dB with respect to the carrier while manually 
scanning the frequency band of 50 KHz to 12 MHz. An indicated power 
output of 500W should be maintained during this operation. 

 
 
4.5     PACKAGING FOR RESHIPMENT 
 
In the event of the equipment being returned for servicing it should be packed in 
the original shipping carton and packing material. If this is not available, wrap the 
instrument  in  heavy  paper  or  plastic  and  place  in  a  rigid  outer  box  of  wood, 
fiberboard  or  very  strong  corrugated  cardboard.  Use  ample  soft  packing  to 
prevent  movement.  Provide  additional  support  for  projecting  parts  to  relieve 
these  of  unnecessary  shock.  Close  the  carton  securely  and  seal  with  durable 
tape. Mark the shipping container FRAGILE to ensure careful handling. This unit 
must be strapped to a pallet for shipping. 

 

 

 
Chapter 5 Safety: 
 

Do not remove ANY PANELS…Shock Hazard plus these panels are part of the 
cooling system design.

 

High AC and DC voltages are present. The cover protects 

against electrical shock due to AC line voltages, high DC and RF fields. Further 
the cover provides part of the cooling system design. Components, specifically 
on the RF driver board are prone to over-heat and eventual failure if the unit is 
operated without the cover in place.

 

 
Ensure that the load is connected to the output prior to connecting the RF input 
to  the  unit.  This  will  prevent  high  voltages  being  present  and  exposed  at  the 
output connector.  
 
Only use the AC cord provided or equivalent.  
 
Ensure that the mains outlet is properly grounded.
