Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily
related to any specific part or procedure and do not necessarily appear
elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly
understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must at all times observe normal safety regulations.
Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment
with high voltage turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is
present.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the
purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of
someone who is capable of rendering aid.
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main
power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two
conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death
can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied.
Chemical Hazard
Dry cleaning solvents for cleaning parts may be potentially dangerous.
Avoid inhalation of fumes or prolonged contact with skin.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with
modern methods of resuscitation.
