Wear suitable protective gear when necessary.
●
Before opening any equipment or removing a particular cover, turn of
f the power
supply and wait 5 minutes to ensure that capacitors have discharged sufficiently.
●
Do not discharge capacitors by short‑circuiting them.
2.3.3 Hazards from RF Radiation
2.3.3.1 Obligation to Instruct Personnel
●
The operator must train all personnel in the operation of this transmitter or instru-
ment in line with EN60215 and/or IEC215. It is essential that these regular training
sessions emphasize the dangers related to high frequency that exist at the respec-
tive transmitter or instrument. Operating personnel are only authorized to adjust
and operate the equipment after they have completed the respective training ses-
sions and their participation has been documented.
High‑energy RF circuits inside the transmitter or instrument are routed via conventional
removable RF connectors (e.g. type N). Depending on the output power, the output
ports of the transmitter and instrument are equipped with screw-type or plug-in RF
lines or ducts.
If RF lines or modules carry high power, the connection point or the entire module is
tagged with the general danger warning label (yellow triangle with a black exclamation
mark).
2.3.3.2 RF Shielding
Transmitters and instruments from Rohde & Schwarz are shielded so that even in the
immediate vicinity there is no danger from RF radiation when all RF lines are connec-
ted. This applies to statutory provisions in Germany, i.e. the regulation concerning elec-
tromagnetic fields:
Limits for electrical and magnetic field strengths of high‑frequency installations are
defined in the 26th ordinance of the German Federal Government's Emission Control
Act of December 16, 1996 (26. BImSchV).
2.3.3.3 Rules When Operating an Amplifier
Disconnecting RF lines that are in operation can result in arcs. These can cause burns
and eye injuries.
●
Operation of the amplifier is only permitted if a main or dummy antenna is connec-
ted
●
Never disconnect RF lines when the amplifier is in operation
●
Never open the amplifier or modules when the amplifier is in operation
●
Never operate the amplifier if RF lines are exposed
