Operating Instructions
Normal Operation
Bird 8920 series loads have no indicators or operating controls. They
require no special operating procedures or surveillance when their
performance limits are not exceeded. Follow the instructions for the
specific generator equipment.
Operation Under
Abnormal
Conditions
The load can be subjected to moderate overloads for short periods. If
this is likely, make sure the interlock is properly connected to prevent
damage to the load.
Shutdown
These loads are passive devices, so have no way of being turned off.
Turn off RF power at the source.
Emergency
Shutdown
Turn off RF power at the source.
If the interlock thermoswitch is properly connected, RF power will be
automatically turned off when the coolant temperature reaches an
unsafe level.
WARNING
BOTH vent plugs must be used at all times when the unit is
operating or cooling. Failure to do so could result in an
explosion or severe burns.
WARNING
Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the
transmission line while RF power is being applied.
Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
