INSTRUCTIONS POUR UN FONCTIONNEMENT  

EN TOUTE SÉCURITÉ 

 

Révisé 0517 

 

Respectez les consignes de sécurité suivantes pour veiller  à votre 

propre sécurité et vous aider à protéger votre équipement et votre 

milieu de travail de dommages potentiels. 

USAGE PRÉVU 

Cet équipement est prévu pour un usage général en laboratoire afin de 

générer, contrôler et mesurer les niveaux d’énergie de radiofréquence 

(RF) électromagnétique. Assurez-vous que l’appareil est utilisé dans 

un endroit qui contrôlera l’énergie rayonnante et ne causera pas de 

blessure, ni  ne violera les niveaux réglementaires d’interférence 

électromagnétique. 

SYMBOLES DE SÉCURITÉ 

Ces symboles peuvent apparaître dans votre manuel d’utilisation ou 

sur l’équipement. 

 

Ce  symbole est apposé sur l’équipement lorsque 

l’utilisateur  doit  se référer  au manuel pour des 

informations importantes concernant la sécurité.  

Le  symbole  de mise en garde  indique  un danger 

potentiel.  Vous devez accorder une attention  à la 

déclaration  pour éviter  tout  dommage,  destruction  ou 

blessure. 

 

Présence de tensions dangereuses, soyez très prudent.

 

 

 

Indique une borne de  connexion d’un conducteur 

externe pour une protection contre l’électrocution en cas 

de défaillance ou la borne d’une électrode de mise à la 

terre de protection. 

 

Indique un rayonnement laser invisible – ne regardez 

pas directement avec des instruments optiques. 

 

Indique la borne de connexion de la mise à la terre du 

cadre ou du châssis. 

 

Indique un courant alternatif. 

 

Indique que ce produit ne doit pas être jeté avec vos 

autres déchets ménagers. 

 

Indique que la surface  marquée et les  surfaces 

adjacentes  peuvent atteindre des températures  qui 

risquent d’être chaudes au toucher. 

 

PRÉCAUTIONS D’INSTALLATION DE 

L’ÉQUIPEMENT 

Lisez le manuel d’utilisateur et familiarisez-vous avec 

tous les marquages et consignes de sécurité. La protection 

fournie par l’équipement peut être affaiblie s’il est utilisé 

d’une manière non indiquée par AR RF/instrumentation à 

hyperfréquence (AR). 

 

Respectez toutes les  instructions  de levage indiquées dans ce 

document. 

 

Placez l’équipement sur une surface dure et plane. 

 

N’utilisez pas l’équipement dans un environnement humide, par 

exemple près d’un lavabo, ou dans un sous-sol humide. 

 

Positionnez votre équipement de sorte que l’interrupteur 

d’alimentation soit facilement accessible.  

 

Laissez un espace minimal de 10,2 cm (4 in) de tous les côtés 

ventilés de l’équipement pour permettre le flux d’air nécessaire à 

une bonne ventilation.  Ne limitez pas le flux d’air allant dans 

l’équipement en bloquant tout évent ou entrée d’air. La restriction 

du flux d’air peut endommager l’équipement, causer des coupures 

intermittentes ou des dangers pour la sécurité. 

 

Tenez l’équipement à l’écart de températures extrêmement 

chaudes ou froides pour veiller à ce qu’il soit utilisé dans la plage 

de fonctionnement indiquée.  

 

Lorsque vous installez des accessoires tels que des antennes, des 

coupleurs directionnels et des sondes de champ, prenez soin 

d’éviter toute exposition à des niveaux RF dangereux.  

 

Assurez-vous que rien n’est posé sur les câbles de votre 

équipement et que les câbles ne se trouvent pas à des endroits où 

l’on peut marcher dessus ou trébucher. 

 

Déplacez l’équipement avec soin ; veillez à ce que tous les câbles 

et/ou roulettes soient solidement raccordés au système. Évitez les 

arrêts brusques et les surfaces irrégulières. 

AVANT LA MISE SOUS TENSION 

Votre équipement AR peut disposer de plus d’un câble d’alimentation 

électrique. Utilisez uniquement un ou des câbles d’alimentation 

approuves. Si un câble d’alimentation ne vous a pas été fourni avec 

l’équipement ou pour toute option alimentée en courant alternatif 

prévue pour l’équipement, achetez un câble d’alimentation qui est 

approuvé pour être utilisé dans votre pays. Le câble d’alimentation doit 

être prévu pour l’équipement et pour le courant et la tension indiqués 

sur l’étiquette de classement électrique de l’équipement.  

Installer ou utiliser de façon incorrecte une tension de 

ligne incompatible peut augmenter le risque d’incendie ou 

d’autres dangers. Pour aider à éviter toute électrocution, 

branchez l’équipement et les câbles d’alimentation 

périphériques dans des prises électriques correctement mises à la terre. 

Ces câbles sont équipés de prises à trois broches pour veiller à une 

bonne mise à la terre. N’utilisez pas d’adapteur de prise, ni ne retirez 

la broche de mise à la terre d’un câble. 
Ne modifiez pas les câbles ou les prises d’alimentation. Consultez un 

électricien agréé ou un technicien d’entretien AR qualifié pour les 

modifications  d’équipement.  Respectez toujours les règles 

locales/nationales de câblage.  

N’utilisez pas l’équipement s’il est physiquement 

endommagé ou s’il manque des pièces ou des panneaux. 

 

MISE À LA TERRE DE SÉCURITÉ 

Cet équipement est fourni avec une borne de mise à la 

terre de protection. La source d’alimentation secteur à 

l’équipement doit fournir une mise à la terre de sécurité 

ininterrompue de taille suffisante pour attacher les bornes 

de câblage, le cordon d’alimentation ou l’ensemble de câbles 

d’alimentation fourni. 

N’UTILISEZ PAS cet équipement si cette 

protection est affaiblie.
