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 applied 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 or make adjustments to the
inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply turned on.
To avoid casualties, always remove power.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is
present. Radiated RF power is a potential health hazard.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure to
service or adjust the equipment except in the presence of someone who
is capable of rendering aid.
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible safety 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 installed.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with
modern methods of resuscitation.
