Bird Technologies 6151A - Manual (Page 4)

WARNING
Exposure to RF power radiation and the possibility of RF shock or burns exists with some operating conditions.
Always be sure to turn off transmitter when connecting or disconnecting wattmeter. When Plug-In Element is
removed from the RF line socket, the line section center conductor is exposed. Do not put fingers or other objects
into this Plug-In Element socket while RF power is applied.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the Termaline Wattmeter for prolonged periods at higher than read load levels. Damage to
the equipment and injury to operator may result.
WARNING
Never attempt to disconnect any RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking
RF energy is a potential health hazard.
6151A Caution Statements
The following equipment cautions appear in the text whenever the equipment is in danger of damage and
are repeated here for emphasis.
CAUTION
Do not drop the instrument or Plug-In Elements as damage to the meter could result or impair the accuracy of the
elements.
CAUTION
If other than Female N type connectors are used, limit power and frequency to the capabilities of the RF coaxial
cable or connectors used. Damage to connectors or errors in reading could result.
CAUTION
Do not replace coolant with anything but the specified fluid. The inner shell of the resistor housing is contoured to
the dielectric properties of this fluid. The use of any other type of coolant will affect the electrical performance of the
load.
