WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING - HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS SYMBOL

atmospheres. If the product is to be used in hazardous environments we recommend that the user

ensures suitable protective measures are taken.

WARNING - DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK SYMBOL

This module may contain hazardous voltages. Before removing the module from the rack remove all

supplies and disconnect user I/O signals.

Unused slots in the host chassis are populated with blanking plates to prevent access to user

I/O signals that may be present. Blanking panels are available to order from Pickering in a variety

of slot widths. If the product is not used in this manner for example by using an extender card then

additional care must be taken to avoid contact with exposed signals.

CAUTION - HANDLING OF ELECTROSTATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES SYMBOL

Certain semiconductor devices used in this equipment are liable to damage due to static voltage.

Observe the following precautions when handling these devices in their unterminated state, or

sub-assemblies containing these devices:

1. Persons removing sub-assemblies from equipment using these devices must be earthed by a

wrist strap and a resistor at the point provided on the equipment.

2. Soldering irons used during the repair operations must be low voltage types with earthed tips and

isolated from the mains voltage by a double insulated transformer.

3. Outer clothing worn must be unable to generate static charges.

anti-static bags.

CAUTION - PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION SYMBOL

and understood before attempting to install or operate the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All cleaning and servicing requires the equipment to be isolated and disconnected from the power source and user I/O

signals (refer to the Maintenance Section).

• Appropriate manual handling procedures should be followed as dictated by the weight of the individual module or

the combined weight of the modules & chassis.

• Should a fault occur with the module or chassis, immediately isolate and disconnect the incoming power to the

chassis and the user I/O signals.

• Ensure the equipment is installed, operated and maintained by trained and authorised personnel.

• For suitably equipped products in the event of an emergency press the red “emergency stop” button situated on

the front of the unit.

The 40-781 Microwave switching module consists of one, or

two changeover switches capable of switching frequencies

to 18 GHz in 50 Ω. It is available with either internal or

external terminations and connections are made via front

panel mounted high quality SMA coaxial connectors.

The externally terminated versions have the advantage

that the terminations can be removed and replaced with

RF loads capable of handling higher power. This also

allows alternative conﬁgurations such as terminated 4-port

bypass (1 termination removed) and 5-port DP3T (both

terminations removed). See overleaf for diagrams of these

conﬁgurations.

These modules give you the highest RF and microwave

switching performance available within a Pickering

applications, they have many uses in the RF spectrum

where extremely low insertion loss and ultra high isolation

are critical. They may also be used for lower frequency

applications where power handling to 240 W (without

termination) is required.
