SAFETY SUMMARY

Only the SMX920’s self contained power supply, if installed, contains dangerous mains

voltages within. Normal operation and use of the SMX920 does not expose the operator or

service technician to high voltage parts. The power supply is isolated from and maybe

removed safely from the main chassis. For servicing, please return to your nearest

distributor. No fuses or user-serviceable parts are within the power supply module.

The following general safety precautions as would normally apply, should be observed

during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment.

AROUND THE EQUIPMENT

To minimise any possible shock hazard from an external power supply or lightning strike,

the chassis or equipment cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. This is normally

achieved by the Earth grounding wire within the 3 wire mains cable. Provide adequate

ventilation around the rear of the equipment.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of

any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

DO NOT ATTEMPT INTERNAL SERVICE WHILE TRANSMITTING

Thermal or RF burns may result from touching certain components within the power

amplifier module while transmitting or operating the transmitter.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE EQUIPMENT

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute or lower

voltage parts to the equipment. Return to your authorised distributor.

EXERCISE CAUTION AND CORRECT DISPOSAL OF RF POWER DEVICES

Most RF power transistors and some RF power hybrids contain Beryllium Oxide. Although

they are normally safe, if physically damaged toxic dust may be released. Consult your local

authority for correct disposal thereof. Such devices are not normally used in the SMX920.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS & PRECAUTIONS

The following conditions are not covered by the warranty of the SMX920. Please ensure

that the SMX920 is not subject to;

1. Over voltage or Reverse Power Supply Voltage.

2. Operation in locations subject to abnormal environmental conditions such as extreme

temperatures or ingress of moisture or excessively dusty environments.

3. Operation of the SMX920 Transmitter output into an open or short circuit or an

incorrectly terminated load. Although a level of VSWR protection is included, greater

protection is provided by the addition of a TX RF isolator.
