E3730A OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- 5 -
CAUTION
(Weight)
Weight of this electron tube is about 35 kg. Be careful when handling this electron tube
because it is very heavy.
(1) Be extremely careful to ensure safety when shifting, moving, or installing this electron
tube.
(2) Be careful not to subject this electron tube to excessive vibration or shock because it
is a precision device.
(3) Use the standard packing case provided by CETD to carry or store the electron tube.
(Caution)
Use the frequency specified by laws, regulations, or standards.
(Caution)
Note the following when handling damaged or used electron tubes:
(1) When handling a tube that has fractured, wear protective gloves, protective glasses,
etc. because the ceramic or metal fragments are sharp and very dangerous.
(2) Dispose the scrapped products according to the requirement of local regulation. If you
have any questions, please contact to our local sales representatives for further
information.
(3) The main materials used in this electron tube are as follows:
Copper, Stainless steel, Malleable iron, Nickel/iron alloy, Tungsten, Molybdenum,
Alumina ceramics
Note that no radioisotopes or beryllia porcelain are used.
(4)
Lead is used for the X-ray shield of this electron tube. Do not abrade or melt the lead
because lead powder or vapor is harmful if it comes into contact with the skin or is
ingested. For lead disposal, consult with specialized disposal personnel.
(Caution)
Before operating this electron tube, confirm that the cooling unit operates normally.
(1) Excessive temperatures due to interruption of cooling air or water may result in
damage to the tube, smoking, or a fire.
(2) It is recommended that various sensors such as an airflow sensor, a water flow
sensor, a pressure sensor, a thermometer, and/or a smoke sensor be provided to
protect the tube.
(Caution)
Perform periodic inspection.
(1) Dust from the air may build up on the electron gun section or collector section over
time, leading to deterioration of withstand-voltage characteristics and interfering with
cooling.
(2) For devices in which insulation oil is used, dirty oil may lead to deterioration of the
withstand-voltage characteristics. Ensure that the insulation oil is always clean.
