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 publica-
tion. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of
operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do
not replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment
with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove
power.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present.
Capacitors can store a dangerous electrical charge. Avoid contact with all system
capacitors. If it is necessary to perform work near a system capacitor, be sure to
discharge the capacitor through a low resistance.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uniterruptible 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.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern
methods of resuscitation.
WARNING
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the power
on.
