Power Requirements 

 

This is a safety class 1 product (provided with a protective earth terminal). A non-interruptible safety 
earth ground must be provided from the main power source to the Waveguide Switch Driver power

instrument must be made inoperative and secured against any unintended operation.  If this 
instrument is to be energised via an autotransformer (NOT RECOMMENDED) for voltage 
reduction, make sure that the common terminal is connected to the earth pole of the power source.
