INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Revised 0517
Observe the following safety guidelines to help ensure your
own personal safety and to help protect your equipment and
working environment from potential damage.
INTENDED USE
This equipment is intended for general laboratory use in
generating, controlling, and measuring levels of
electromagnetic Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Ensure that the
device is operated in a location which will control the radiated
energy and will not cause injury or violate regulatory levels of
electromagnetic interference.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
These symbols may appear in your user manual or on
equipment.
This symbol is marked on the equipment when it
is necessary for the user to refer to the manual for
important safety information.
The caution symbol denotes a potential hazard.
Attention must be given to the statement to
prevent damage, destruction, or harm.
Dangerous voltages are present. Use extreme
care.
Indicates a terminal intended for connection to an
external conductor for protection against
electrical shock in case of a fault, or the terminal
of a protective earth (ground) electrode.
Indicates invisible laser radiation–do not view
directly with optical instruments.
Indicates frame or chassis ground connection
terminal.
Indicates alternating current.
Indicates this product must not be disposed of
with your other household waste.
Indicates that the marked surface and adjacent
surfaces can attain temperatures that may be hot
to the touch.
EQUIPMENT SETUP PRECAUTIONS
Review the user manual and become familiar with
all safety markings and instructions. Protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired if used
in a manner not specified by AR RF/Microwave
Instrumentation (AR).
•
Follow all lifting instructions specified in this document.
•
Place the equipment on a hard, level surface.
•
Do not use the equipment in a wet environment, for
example, near a sink, or in a wet basement.
•
Position your equipment so that the power switch is easily
accessible.
•
Leave 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum of clearance on all vented
sides of the equipment to permit the airflow required for
proper ventilation. Do not restrict airflow into the
equipment by blocking any vents or air intakes. Restricting
airflow can result in damage to the equipment, intermittent
shut-downs or safety hazards.
•
Keep equipment away from extremely hot or cold
temperatures to ensure that it is used within the specified
operating range.
•
While installing accessories such as antennas, directional
couplers and field probes, take care to avoid any exposure
to hazardous RF levels.
•
Ensure that nothing rests on your equipment’s cables and
that the cables are not located where they can be stepped
on or tripped over.
•
Move equipment with care; ensure that all casters and/or
cables are firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden
stops and uneven surfaces.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Your AR equipment may have more than one power supply
cable. Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been
provided with a power cable for the equipment or for any AC-
powered option intended for the equipment, purchase a power
cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable
must be rated for the equipment and for the voltage and current
marked on the equipment’s electrical ratings label.
Incorrectly installing or using an incompatible line
voltage may increase the risk of fire or other
hazards. To help prevent electric shock, plug the
equipment and peripheral power cables into properly grounded
electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong
plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs
or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed
electrician or AR trained service technician for equipment
modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
Do not operate the equipment if there is physical
damage, missing hardware, or missing panels.
SAFETY GROUND
This equipment is provided with a protective earth
terminal. The mains power source to the equipment
must supply an uninterrupted safety ground of
sufficient size to attach wiring terminals, power
cord, or supplied power cord set. DO NOT USE this equipment
if this protection is impaired.
