These Amplifiers operate at
high RF power levels, internal supply energy levels and mains
supply current levels
. They also incorporate devices containing
toxic BeO
. Before commencing
installation, it is recommended that the complete INSTALLATION section is read and understood.
The
instructions should then be strictly followed, by suitably qualified personnel, otherwise sub-
standard or even dangerous operation may result.
