Installation Procedure
3-1
For general operating and installation safety
information, see Publication 6886867J01, “Owner’s
Guide, MICOM 3E/3T/3R HF-SSB Transceivers”.
During installation work, strictly observe the applicable
safety precautions and local regulations. Do not work
on the antenna system during lightning storms.
Proper grounding is essential for your safety, and for
good communication performance.
Do not touch the antenna and the RF connectors while
the radio set is in operation. During transmission, high
RF voltages appear at the RF connectors, the antenna
cables, and on the antenna itself. These voltages may
cause severe injury or death on contact.
Make sure the antenna is not located near high-voltage
lines.
All personnel must be familiar with the applicable
safety requirements before attempting to install or
operate the RM500/RM500R. Severe injury or death
could result from failure to comply with the safety
practices.
The RM500/RM500R is a two-person lift. Make sure
that help is available during the installation activities.
Before putting a new RM500/RM500R into operation,
it is necessary to calibrate the system to obtain the
correct transmit power. Calibration instructions for
RM500/RM500R appear in Publication 2072-09538-
00, “Radio Service Software (RSS), User’s Guide” for
RSS version V3.0 or higher.
