SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Thank you for your business. We at Nicom appreciate our partnership with you and your
broadcasting team. We proudly stand behind our products. Regardless of how well our
electrical equipment is designed; personnel can be exposed to dangerous electrical shock
when protective covers are removed for maintenance or other activities. Therefore, it is
incumbent on the user to see that all safety regulations are consistently observed and that
each individual assigned to the equipment has a clear understanding of first aid related to
electrical shocks (see next pages).
In addition, these safety practices must be followed:
• Do not attempt to adjust unprotected circuit controls or to dress leads with the
power on.
• Always avoid placing parts of the body in a series between ground and circuit
points.
• To avoid burns, do not touch heavily loaded or overheated components without
precaution.
• Remember that some semiconductor cases and solid-state circuits carry high
voltages.
• Do not assume that all danger of electrical shock is removed when the power is off.
Charged capacitors can retain dangerous voltages for long periods of time after the
power is turned off. These capacitors should be discharged through a suitable
resistor before any circuit points are touched.
• Do not take chances. Be fully trained. Nicom equipment should be operated and
maintained by fully qualified personnel.
• Do not service equipment alone and do not perform internal adjustments to this unit
unless another person is capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
• Some components used in the construction of this equipment contain Beryllium
Oxide (BeO). This substance is harmless as it is, but becomes highly dangerous if it
is ground to powder. Special procedures of disposal must be observed in case of
failure of these devices.
NOTE: This section is not intended to contain
a complete statement of all safety
precautions that should be observed by personnel in using this electronic
equipment or others.
Nicom shall not be responsible for injury or damage resulted from improper
procedures or from using it by improperly trained or inexperienced personnel.
