1.3.2 Radio frequency hazards
WARNING
This label is used on the product to indicate a hazard due to radio
frequency (RF).
High frequency electromagnetic fields are absorbed by biological
organisms and might have an impact on them. The thermal effect of
electromagnetic fields is proven. If certain levels of field strength are
exceeded, damage to the human body is possible.
If certain levels are exceeded, electromagnetic fields can interfere with
the environment and may have an influence on the function of electrical
devices, for example heart pacemakers or other electronic devices which
are implanted into the human body.
Electromagnetic fields are present within the generator as well as at the
RF output of the generator.
Safety note 4: Warning - radio frquency
Protective measures taken by the manufacturer
The generator is built into a closed metallic housing.
This measure ensures that electromagnetic fields, which are present outside of the
generator, are reduced to a level which excludes bodily damage as well as interference
with electrical devices.
However, these protective measures cannot prevent the occurrence of high
electromagnetic fields on the load side (e. g. within the plasma chamber). The effective
reduction of this hazard remains the responsibility of the operator.
Safety instructions for the user
The following instructions must be observed by the user at any time:
• Use the generator within the conditions described in the technical specifications.
• Never open the generator, operate the generator always with the housing closed.
• For the connection of the RF output, exclusively use a fully intact cable without
any flaws.
• The RF cable must be properly connected on both ends.
• The RF cable shielding must be grounded on both ends (generator and load side).
• Take appropriate precautions against electrostatic discharge.
