High Voltage
High voltages in excess of 11.5kV are present within the amplifier. However, the equipment is
designed so that personnel cannot come into contact with high voltage circuits unless the covers are
removed.
Access inside the amplifier is restricted to suitably skilled engineers.
RF Radiation
Exposure of the human body to microwave radiation can constitute a hazard (ANSI/IEEE C95-1-
1992). Personnel must be protected from microwave energy produced by the TWT.
All RF connectors must be correctly fitted before operation, so that there is no leakage of RF energy.
The amplifier must not be operated unless the RF output connection is correctly terminated. It is
particularly hazardous to look into open waveguides, coaxial feeders, or transmitter antennae when
the amplifier is operating.
Input Drive
Damage to the amplifier may occur if the RF input drive level or the input frequency are outside the
limits given in the specification for the model (see section 1.1).
