IMPORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

n Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

n Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

WHAT TO DO IF yOU SMELL GAS:

3

Do not try to light a match, or cigarette, or turn on any gas or electrical appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions carefully.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

PROPERINSTALLATION

ThisdryermustbeproperlyinstalledandlocatedinaccordancewiththeInstallationInstructions beforeitisused.InstallationInstructionsareincludedinthebackofthismanual.

nProperly ground dryer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

nInstall or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to water or weather.

nConnect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

nRemove all sharp packing items and dispose of all shipping materials properly.

Exhaust/Ducting

1Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room.

2Use only rigid metal 4″ diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet. Use only UL approved rigid metal or flexible metal 4-in diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outdoors. Never use plastic or other combustible, easy-to-puncture ductwork.

For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions.

PFMS455, PFMS450, PFDN445, PFDN440, PFDS450 specifications

The GE PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 are part of GE’s innovative family of radio frequency (RF) power transistors designed for various commercial and industrial applications. These devices are renowned for their efficient performance, providing a blend of high power output and reliability, ideal for telecommunications, broadcasting, and other RF applications.

The GE PFMN440 and PFMN445 are members of the RF transistor family that offer robust performance in high-frequency applications. The PFMN440 is particularly noted for its outstanding linearity and power gain, which makes it suitable for use in RF amplifiers and transmitters. Its compact package and advanced thermal management design enable efficient heat dissipation, which is critical in maintaining performance under load. The PFMN445, with a higher power rating, amplifies these characteristics, supporting greater output levels while maintaining linearity, resulting in clearer signal output.

The PFDS455 and PFDS450, on the other hand, are optimized for industrial applications with features that emphasize durability and efficiency. The PFDS455 stands out for its ability to handle higher voltages and currents, making it an excellent choice for applications that require resilience against overloads. The device's superior thermal stability ensures that it performs consistently across a range of operational environments. The PFDS450 shares many of these attributes but is tailored for applications requiring a slightly lower output, making it versatile for different RF circuit designs.

The PFDN440 is designed with specialized technologies that enhance its functionality in digital and mixed-signal environments. It integrates advanced semiconductor materials which reduce power consumption and improve efficiency without compromising performance. This device is particularly useful in applications that demand high-speed operation and reliability, making it a preferred choice for modern communication systems.

All these transistors utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including advanced doping techniques and epitaxial growth, which contribute to their excellent electrical characteristics. Their high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and wide frequency response range make these devices suitable for both commercial and specialized applications.

Overall, GE's PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 transistors are emblematic of modern RF technology, combining power, efficiency, and reliability to cater to a wide spectrum of RF applications.
