PRECAUTIONS
• Maximum Input Voltages and Power
- 8 GHz – 24 GHz Antenna Input (see page 4): 0 VDC, +20 dBm
Caution: To avoid damage to the OSCOR unit do not apply any DC voltage to this input
- 0 – 8 GHz Antenna Input (see page 4
): < 5 VDC, +20 dBm
- Aux RF Input (see page 5): < 5 VDC, +20 dBm
• The Antenna Panel Control connector (see page 4), which is the 6 pin modular plug marked
“CTRL” on the back of the unit, is used for power to and communication with the antenna panel.
To avoid damage to the unit and internal circuitry, do not use this connector for telephone
connections.
• Only use REI approved power sources, batteries, chargers, and probes.
• CAUTION The antenna panel can be damaged by a high-level electrostatic
discharge (ESD) to the whip antenna connector. In an area where static
discharges are likely, such as in dry conditions, or on carpeting, avoid
contact with this connector located on the top of the antenna panel.
• CAUTION High-level electrostatic discharges (ESD) to the USB-A, USB-B, and Ethernet
connectors could result in possible damage or mis-operation of the OSCOR unit. Observe
industry standard precautions for handling static sensitive equipment.
• Provide adequate ventilation around the cooling fan inlet and outlet of the OSCOR unit. These
are located on the underside of the input panel located at the rear of the unit.
• There are no serviceable parts inside. Contact your dealer or Research Electronics International,
LLC for repairs. Opening the unit will void the warranty.
• Exercise care in walking or other movements while operating the OSCOR unit. Serious injuries
may result.
