Caution Statements

The following equipment cautions appear in the text whenever the equipment is
in danger of damage and are repeated here for emphasis.

CAUTION

Before any RF operation of the load is attempted, the transmitter interlock and

AC line attachment to the equipment must be made. First attach the

transmitter interlock connections to the two binding posts on the front panel

and then connect the power cable.

CAUTION

The 115 VAC or 230 VAC line may be connected, but the AC power must not be

turned on unless coolant is in the system and filled to the correct level. Damage

to the pump will result otherwise.

CAUTION

Use only distilled water or the supplied ethylene glycol as coolant. Do not use

tap water, automotive antifreeze, sealants, or leak stopping material. Use of

these materials will damage the instrument and void all warranties.

CAUTION

Operation without sufficient coolant can damage the unit.

CAUTION

Do not block air flow. Air enters through the side openings of the Moduload and

exhausts through the top.

CAUTION

Do not operate the load without proper coolant levels. Operation without

sufficient coolant can damage the unit.

CAUTION

Do not operate the load without connecting the interlock. Even momentary application

of power to the load while the cooling circulation is off, or possibly functioning

improperly, will cause almost immediate destruction of the resistor element.
