WARNINGS
SAFETY
To avoid the possibility of injury or death, the following
precautions must be followed before the instrument is
switched on:
a. If this instrument is to be energized via an
autotransformer for voltage reduction, make sure that
the common terminal is connected to the earth
grounded pole of the power source.
b. The power cable plug shall only be inserted into
a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact.
The protective action must not be negated by the use of
an extension cord without a protective conductor
(grounding).
c. Before switching on the instrument, the
protective earth terminal of the instrument must be
connected to a protective conductor of the power cord.
This is accomplished by ensuring that the instrument's
internal earth terminal is correctly connected to the
instrument's chassis and that the power cord is wired
correctly (see Service Sheet 22).
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been
impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and
be secured against any unintended operation.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor
inside or outside the instrument or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal is likely to make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened
instrument under voltage should be avoided as much as
possible and, if inevitable, should be carried out only by
a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged
even if the instrument has been disconnected from its
source of supply.
FUSES
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current
and of the specified type (normal blow time delay, etc.)
are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses
and the short-circuiting of fuseholders must be avoided.
CAUTIONS
GROUNDING
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor
inside or outside the instrument is likely to cause
damage to the instrument. To avoid damage, this
instrument and all line powered devices connected to it
must be connected to the same earth ground (see
Section II).
LINE VOLTAGE
Be sure to select the correct fuse rating for the selected
line voltage (see LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION in
Section II); fuse ratings are listed on the fuse
compartment.
To prevent damage to the instrument, make the line
voltage selection before connecting line power. Also
ensure that the line power cord is connected to a line
power socket that is provided with a protective earth
contact.
SAFETY
To avoid the-possibility of damage to test equipment,
read completely through each test before starting it.
Make any preliminary control settings necessary for
correct test equipment operation.
COUNTER INPUT
Do not apply a dc voltage or >+15 dBm to COUNTER
INPUT.
SEMI-RIGID COAX
While working with and around the semi-rigid coaxial
cables in the generator, do not bend the cables more
than necessary. Do not torque the RF connectors to
more than 5 inch-pounds.
