Warnings and Cautions

Warning SHOCK HAZARD. Only service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should install, remove, or configure the Microwave Switch modules. Before you remove any installed module, disconnect AC power from the mainframe and from other modules that may be connected to the Microwave Switch.

Caution MAXIMUM POWER. The maximum power that may be applied to any SMA input connector is 1 W (CW). The maximum voltage that may be applied to the EXTERNAL B+ terminal is 42Vpk.

CONNECTING +5V/+12V. For the Microwave Switch, the mainframe backplane +5V is fused at 4A, and the +12V line at 4A. The total current drawn by all coaxial switches connected to the Microwave Switch module must not exceed the fuse rating of the supplies (mainframe and/or external) used.

STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of component failure. To prevent damage to the electrical components in the Microwave Switch modules, observe anti-static techniques whenever removing a module from the mainframe or whenever working on a module.
