Precautions

These terms have specific meanings in this manual:

Symbols used

on this product

The meaning of hazard symbols appearing on the equipment and

in the documentation is as follows:

General

conditions of

use

This product is designed and tested to comply with the require-

ments of BS EN 61010-1 ‘Safety requirements for electrical

equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use’, for

Class I portable equipment and is for use in a pollution degree 2

environment. The equipment is designed to operate from an

installation category II supply.

Equipment should be protected from the ingress of liquids and

precipitation such as rain, snow, etc. When moving the equipment

from a cold to a hot environment, it is important to allow the

temperature of the equipment to stabilize before it is connected

to the supply to avoid condensation forming. The equipment must

only be operated within the environmental conditions specified in

the data sheet, otherwise the protection provided by the equip-

ment may be impaired.

This product is not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres

or safety-critical applications.

Information to prevent personal injury.

Information to prevent damage to the equip-

ment.

Important general information.

Symbol Nature of hazard

Refer to the operating manual when this

symbol is marked on the instrument. Famil-

iarize yourself with the nature of the hazard

and the actions that may have to be taken.

Dangerous voltage

Safety notes

Precautions

2201 ProLock xiii

Suitability for

use

This equipment has been designed and manufactured by

Aeroflex to perform measurements on RF systems. If the equip-

ment is not used in a manner specified by Aeroflex, or if it is

damaged, the protection provided by the equipment may be

impaired.

Aeroflex has no control over the use of this equipment and

cannot be held responsible for events arising from its use other

than for its intended purpose.

The safety of any system incorporating this equipment is the

responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Electrical

hazards (AC

supply voltage)

This equipment conforms with IEC Safety Class I, meaning that it

is provided with a protective grounding lead. To maintain this

protection the supply lead must always be connected to the

source of supply via a socket with a grounded contact.

Be aware that the supply filter contains capacitors that may

remain charged after the equipment is disconnected from the

supply. Although the stored energy is within the approved safety

requirements, a slight shock may be felt if the plug pins are

touched immediately after removal.

Ventilation Before switching on the instrument, ensure that ventilation slots

are not restricted, or obstructed with loose material.

Provide clearance of at least 3 cm (1 in) between all sides of the

instrument and adjacent surfaces. A failure to provide adequate

clearances increases internal temperatures, possibly reducing

the reliability of the equipment and degrading its performance, or

even causing a fire.

Safety notes

External power supply

xiv 2201 ProLock

External power supply

The external power supply of the 2201 ProLock is a safety class I

equipment as defined in EN 60950.

Do not try to open the power supply. There are no serviceable

parts inside. If the power supply is defective you can obtain a new

one from Aeroflex (order number AG860224).

Use the supplied power cord or an appropriate replacement.

Do not replace the power cord with an inadequately rated cord.

The power cord set must be an appropriately rated and approved

cord-set in accordance with the regulations of the country it is

used in.

Power supply

ratings

Before powering on, ensure that the operating voltage that is

permitted for the instrument is the same as your power source.

The external power supply adjusts itself automatically to the

applied (permissible) line voltage.

Input voltage range: 100–240 VAC.

Input current: 1.5 A

Frequency range: 50–60 Hz.

Operating temperature: 0–60 °C

Storage temperature: -20–85 °C

Humidity: 93% RH max, non-condensing

Do not interrupt the protective conductor

Risk of electric shock

Any interruption of the protective conductor to the external

power supply may result in electric shock.

Safety notes

During maintenance and repair

2201 ProLock xv

During maintenance and repair

Maintenance and repair is only allowed to specially trained

service technicians. Opening a unit without permission causes

loss of warranty.

Live parts can be exposed when you open covers or remove

components from the external power supply. Connecting parts

can also be live.

Capacitors in the power supply can still be charged, even though

the instrument has been separated from all voltage sources.

Only use fuses with identical specifications to the replaced ones.

You should never patch fuses or short the fuse holder.

Additional cautions

To ensure safe handling and avoid injuries, observe the following:

Do not attempt to service this product yourself

Risk of electric shock

Opening or removing covers of the external power supply may

expose you to dangerous high voltage points and other haz-

ards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

CAUTION

Only use a 50 Ω N-type connector to connect to the

RF IN/

OUT port of the 2201 ProLock. Use of any other connector

may result in damage to the instrument.

CAUTION

The maximum input power level at the

RF IN/OUT connector is

3.5 W (35 dBm) continuous or burst signal level. Higher input

levels may result in serious damage to the instrument.

Safety notes

Additional cautions

xvi 2201 ProLock

This product is designed for indoor use. Exposure to water may

damage the instrument, so protect it against moisture when using

it outdoors.

CAUTION

Operate the instrument within the temperature range from 5°C

(40°F) to 40°C (104°F) only. Operation outside this range will

lead to invalid results.
