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.
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.
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 interruptible 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
