Safety requirements are applied when working with the VNA, PC, and microwave circuits.
All precautions and warnings provided in this Manual for all the phases of operation, service, and repair of the Analyzer should be observed. The Analyzer should be used only by skilled and thoroughly trained personnel with the required knowledge of safety precautions. The Analyzer complies with INSTALLATION CATEGORY II as well as POLLUTION DEGREE 2 as defined in IEC61010-1. The Analyzer is a MEASUREMENT CATEGORY I (CAT I) device. Do not use the Analyzer as a CAT II, III, or IV device. The Analyzer is for INDOOR USE only. The Analyzer has been tested as a stand-alone device and in combination with the accessories supplied by Copper Mountain Technologies, in accordance with the requirements of the standards described in the Declaration of Conformity. If the Analyzer is integrated with another system, compliance with related regulations and safety requirements are to be confirmed by the builder of the system. Never operate the Analyzer in an environment containing flammable gasses or fumes. Operators must not remove the cover or any other part of the housing. The Analyzer must not be repaired by the operator. Component replacement or internal adjustment must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only. Never operate the Analyzer if the power cable is damaged. Never connect the test ports to AC power mains.
Operation of the analyzer should be performed by qualified personnel with experience in operating of microwave circuits and PC.
Exceeding the maximum input power of the RF signal or the maximum DC peak voltage as indicated on the devices housing may damage the devices. Exceeding the maximum input power of the RF signal or the maximum DC peak voltage as indicated on housing of the analyzer and used devices may damage them.
The analyzer connected to the mains must be grounded.

Electrostatic Discharge Protection for Workplace |
Warning |
Ensure the workplace is protected against electrostatic charges. Static charge can build up on a user's body and damage sensitive internal components. To avoid damage from electric discharge, follow the rules below: •Always discharge the static charge accumulated on your body before touching any device. •Always use a desktop grounded conductive anti-static mat on your stationary workplace. •Always wear a grounding wrist strap connected to the desktop grounded conductive anti-static mat via daisy-chained 1 MΩ resistor. |
