Safety Instructions
To maximize user safety and ensure the device to operate correctly , all instructions contained in this section
should be read carefully.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
This Equipment operates with:

AC 50÷60 Hz power source of between 190-265 V

temperature range from 0 up to 40°C.

Maximum altitude of 4000 m
ATTENTION
: hazardous voltages are present inside the Equipment. ONLY AUTHORIZED AND QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL CAN REMOVE PARTS OF THE EQUIPMENT
GROUND THE AMPLIFIER
To minimize shock hazard, the Amplifier chassis must be connected to an electrical ground through the AC
power mains cable, with the third wire ( yellow green ) connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the
power outlet. Any interruption of the grounding conductor will cause a potential shock hazard that could result
in personal injury. If the Amplifier is powered by any other source, make sure that the chassis is connected to a
separate safety ground
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Operation of the ARCHIMEDE 3000 in presence of flammable gasses or fumes can endanger persons
proximate to the site of operation.
DO NOT REPAIR THE ARCHIMEDE
Component maintenance, replacement and internal adjustments must be made only by ITB qualified service
personnel.
Fuses
In the event of fuses failure, only fuses with the same required current, voltage rating, and specified type
should be used. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
Output Connector
The “7/16” output connector carries dangerously high RF voltages that could cause shock and burn hazards.
Never operate the Amplifier without properly connecting the output connector in either an adequately rated
load or antenna.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuits. Proper
grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take industry-standard
precautions.
