NOTICE
The following precautions should be observed to avoid possible exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
•
Do not tamper with the safety interlocks. The SMART System
5
is equipped
with three safety interlocks which prevent the instrument from producing
microwave power if the cover is open.
•
Do not place any object between the microwave cavity and the cover or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
•
Do not operate the instrument if it is damaged. It is particularly important that
the instrument cover close properly and that there is no damage to the cover
(bent), hinges and latch (broken or loosened), or sealing surfaces.
•
The instrument should be adjusted or repaired only by qualified service
personnel.
The following precautions should be observed to avoid instrument-induced electromagnetic
interference:
•
The possibility of instrument-induced electromagnetic interference (EMI) is
minimal if precautions outlined above are followed.
•
The instrument should not be placed close to any electrical device susceptible
to EMI. It is suggested that the user post a sign warning pacemaker wearers
that a microwave device is in operation.
•
If the instrument is suspected of inducing EMI, the cover should be carefully
inspected. A microwave leakage measurement should be performed as
outlined in the Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Service section of this
manual. Leakage measured above the legal limit of 5 mW/cm
2
should be
reported to the CEM Service Department.
This instrument utilizes high voltages and microwave radiation. Instrument service and
repair should be performed only by those trained in repair and maintenance of high
voltage and microwave power systems.
