General Information

Safety Considerations

Potential safety hazards exist unless proper precautions are observed when working with this

unit. To ensure safe operation, the user must follow the information, cautions, and warnings

provided in this manual as well as the warning labels placed on the unit itself.

High Voltage Hazards

Only qualified service personnel should service the internal electronic circuitry of the Outdoor

BUC. High DC voltages are present in the power supply section of the amplifier. Care must be

taken when working with devices that operate at this high voltage levels. It is recommended to

never work on the unit or supply prime AC power to the unit while the cover is removed.

RF Transmission Hazards

RF transmissions at high power levels may cause eyesight damage and skin burns. Prolonged

exposure to high levels of RF energy has been linked to a variety of health issues. Please use

the following precautions with high levels of RF power.

 Always terminate the RF input and output connector prior to applying prime AC input

power.

 Never look directly into the RF output waveguide.

 Maintain a suitable distance from the source of the transmission such that the power

density is below recommended guidelines in ANSI/IEEE C95.1. The power density

specified in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 is 10 mW/cm². These requirements adhere to

OSHA Standard 1910.97.

 When a safe distance is not practical, RF shielding should be used to achieve the

recommended power density levels.

Inspection

When the unit is received, an initial inspection should be completed. First ensure that the

shipping container is not damaged. If it is, have a representative from the shipping company

present when the container is opened. Perform a visual inspection of the Outdoor Amplifier to

make sure that all items on the packing list are enclosed. If any damage has occurred or if

items are missing, contact: UPCOM TECHNOLOGIES Inc.
