SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation and maintenance of the Boonton 4540 RF Power Meter. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instruments.
Boonton Electronics Corporation assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to
comply with these requirements.
INSTRUMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be
connected to an electrical ground. The instrument is equipped with a three
conductor, three prong AC power cable. The power cable must either be
plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a three-
contact to a two-contact adapter with the (green) grounding wire firmly
connected to an electrical ground at the power outlet.
DO NOT OPERATE THE INSTRUMENT IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component
replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified
maintenance personnel only. Never replace components or operate the
instrument with the covers removed and the power cable connected. Even
with the power cable removed, dangerous voltages may be present. Always
remove all jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) and discharge circuits before
touching them. Never attempt internal service or adjustment of the 4540
unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is
present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
Do not substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the
instrument. Return the instrument to Boonton Electronics for repair to insure
that the warranty and safety features are maintained.
