WARNING
High Voltage Hazards:
The HPCST-5000 utilizes high voltage that can be lethal if contacted. The
terminal system components should not be operated without a cover
unless the user is thoroughly familiar with its operation and experienced
with high voltage.
RF Radiation Hazards:
Prior to operation of terminal system, ensure that all microwave
connections are securely fastened. Check that there is no microwave
leakage. Never operate the HPCST-5000 with an open waveguide.
This amplifier is capable of generating high power microwave radiation,
which can cause bodily harm.
Safety Summary:
Equipment of this nature has inherent hazards. Operator or service
technicians should have training on the high-power satellite terminal
systems. When the HPCST-5000 cover is removed, high voltage may be
exposed. Use extreme care when operating the amplifier with its cover
removed. Extreme physical injury may result if these warnings are not
observed.
