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 general safety precautions. Do not replace components inside
equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
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 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.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to disconnect an RF transmission line while RF power is present. Radiated RF power is a
potential health hazard.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.
Safety Symbols
WARNING
Warning notes call attention to a procedure, which if not performed correctly, could result in personal injury.
CAUTION
Caution notes call attention to a procedure which, if not correctly performed, could result in damage to the instrument.
This safety symbol appears on the the equipment indicating there is important information
in the instruction manual regarding that particular area.
+ Note: Calls attention to supplemental information.
6151A Warning Statements
The following safety warnings appear in the text where there is danger to operating and maintenance
personnel and are repeated here for emphasis.
i
WARNING
Exposure to RF power radiation and the possibility of RF shock or burns exists with some operating conditions.
Always be sure to turn off transmitter when connecting or disconnecting wattmeter. When Plug-In Element is
removed from the RF line socket, the line section center conductor is exposed. Do not put fingers or other objects
into this Plug-In Element socket while RF power is applied.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the Termaline Wattmeter for prolonged periods at higher than read load levels. Damage to
the equipment and injury to operator may result.
WARNING
Never attempt to disconnect any RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking
RF energy is a potential health hazard.
6151A 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
Do not drop the instrument or Plug-In Elements as damage to the meter could result or impair the accuracy of the
elements.
CAUTION
If other than Female N type connectors are used, limit power and frequency to the capabilities of the RF coaxial
cable or connectors used. Damage to connectors or errors in reading could result.
CAUTION
Do not replace coolant with anything but the specified fluid. The inner shell of the resistor housing is contoured to
the dielectric properties of this fluid. The use of any other type of coolant will affect the electrical performance of the
load.
