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.
