User Manual

MM102225V1, Rev. B

The safety guidelines and precautions presented in this manual do not replace M/A-

COM's specific requirements. The primary responsibility for health and safety standards,

practices and guides lines in a M/A-COM project lies with the Environmental, Health &

Safety (EHS) department.

All M/A-COM managers, supervisors, or subcontractors responsible for work associated

with OpenSky equipment must be completely familiar with and prepared to comply with

all applicable EHS guidelines and requirements. Although M/A-COM's policy requires

that all contractors and visitors must be adequately trained prior to working on any M/A-

COM project, this does not mean M/A-COM is responsible for conducting or providing

this training.

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,

service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with

specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,

manufacture, and intended use of the product. M/A-COM assumes no liability for the

customer’s failure to comply with these standards.

1. SAVE THIS MANUAL - It contains important safety and operating instructions.

2. Before using this equipment, please follow and adhere to all warnings, safety and

operating instructions located on the product and in the manual.

3. DO NOT expose equipment to rain, snow or other type of moisture.

4. Care should be taken so objects do not fall or liquids do not spill into the equipment.

5. DO NOT expose equipment to extreme temperatures.

6. DO NOT use auxiliary equipment not recommended or sold by M/A-COM. To do so

may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

7 GROUND THE EQUIPMENT-To minimize shock hazard, the station equipment

cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground.

IF the equipment supplied is equipped with three-conductor AC power cords, these

power cords must be plugged into approved three-contact electrical outlets with the

grounding wires firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the

power outlet. The power cords must also meet International Energy Commission

(IEC) safety standards.

8. To reduce risk of damage to electrical cords, pull by plug rather than cord when

disconnecting a unit.

9. Make sure all power cords are located so they will not be stepped on, tripped over or

otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

10. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an

improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an

extension cord must be used, ensure:

a. The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape

as those of the plug on the power supply.

b. The extension cord is properly wired, in good condition, and

c. The wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of unit.
