2.1 Safety Instructions

Failure to observe all Warnings and Cautions may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage not covered by the warranty.

• Follow standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures when handling a L-Band Switch Matrix Unit.
• Select and apply the appropriate 24V D/C voltage according to the data sheet and documentation before connecting power.
• Depending on configuration of the L-Band Switch Matrix is equipped with User-changeable power supplies. Always disconnect the mains of the power supply that has to be changed. Wait at least 10s after diconnecting the mains (for internal discharge of the power supply) before removing the power supply ATTENTION: To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, never handle with a power supply that is connected to mains.
• The power supplies are EMI filtered. The chassis is connected to earth ground in compliance with safety requirements. Always use the 3-prong AC plug with earth ground to avoid possibility of electrical shock hazard to personnel.
• The L-Band Switch Matrix will be damaged if the total RF input power is higher than +10dBm specified maximum value. Do not connect the RF input of the L-Band Switch Matrix to interfaces where the total output power is higher than the specified value of the data sheet or indicated on the L-Band Switch Matrix. .
• The L-Band Switch Matrix will get warm during operation. To prevent an overheating leave at least 1HU below and above the L-Band switch matrix to allow the rejected heat to dissipate.
• In case of a failure do not open the L-Band Switch Matrix, you will loose warranty, call SatService GmbH for an RMA number.
• Observe normal safety precautions when operating, servicing, and troubleshooting this equipment.
• Take standard safety precautions with hand and/or power tools.
• When connecting the L-Band Switch Matrix' fault relay circuits, observe the maximum ratings: 110V D/C 300mA, 125V A/C 500mA.
