Warnings, cautions or notes related to the product
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
Before turning RF power on, RF ports have to be terminated by nominal 50 Ω load (for example, feeder with
antenna). However, if these conditions are not met, the plastic caps that are delivered within the unused RF
ports should remain in place. The plastic caps isolate RF power from the environment, and thus provide electric
shock security in case RF power is accidentally on.
Note:
The minimum startup voltage is 40.5 V DC. If the input voltage is below/beyond extended limits, unit might shut
down.
