!WARNING: R F H A Z A R D
!WARNING:INTERFERENCE
This series of instrument is capable of producing up to 50 Watts of radio frequency (RF) power in the 700 MHz to 2600
MHz frequency band. Users are reminded that proper precautions must be taken to minimize exposure to these RF elds
to the recommended limits. Please pay particular care to the following areas:
• Switch o󰀨 the RF power from the test equipment before removing or connecting the cables to the test port. Burns to
ngers and permanent damage to eyes can result from exposure to connectors carrying high levels of RF power.
• Ensure that any antennas being tested are placed so that no personnel are exposed to RF eld levels in excess of the
maximum exposure limits [Ref ARPANSA RPS No. 3 for Australia]
Also, the unit should be operated by a suitably qualied operator in order to ensure interference is not caused to other
spectrum users. Radiation through an antenna requires authorization by the frequency license holder to do so.
The IPA family of Test equipment is exempt from the technical requirements of CFR47 part 15 (FCC part 15) as stated
in Section §15.103 Exempted devices” for Test equipment per sub part §15.103(c). The following Notice is mandated by
Law.
§15.5 “(a) Persons operating intentional or unintentional radiators shall not be deemed to have any vested or
recognizable right to continued use of any given frequency by virtue of prior registration or certication of equipment, or,
for power line carrier systems, on the basis of prior notication of use pursuant to §90.35(g) of this chapter.
§15.5 “(b) Operation of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the conditions that no harmful
interference is caused and that interference must be accepted that may be caused by the operation of an authorized radio
station, by another intentional or unintentional radiator, by industrial, scientic and medical (ISM) equipment, or by an
incidental radiator.”
§15.5 “(c) The operator of a radio frequency device shall be required to cease operating the device upon notication by a
Commission representative that the device is causing harmful interference. Operation shall not resume until the condition
causing the harmful interference has been corrected.”
All IPA units and external parts are solely intended as test equipment and not intended for any other use by the operator.
If this instrument does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment o󰀨 and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the instrument and receiver
• Connect the instrument into an outlet on a circuit di󰀨erent from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Precautions

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE
DISCLAIMER: I N T E R F E R E N C E
!WARNING: B A T T E R Y
The iPA Series Portable Passive Intermodulation Analyzer is tted with a removable Lithium-Ion battery. Rechargeable
lithium ion batteries contain organic solvents and reactive materials. Erroneous handling of lithium ion batteries may
result in heat generation, explosion or re, possibly leading to injury.
Observe correct handling and disposal of Li-Ion batteries.
Do not recharge batteries while inside an accessory or transport case. Do not charge in a moving vehicle. Do not operate
or charge the equipment while inside an accessory or transport case.
!WARNING:HEAVY INSTRUMENT
The packed weight of the instrument exceeds the 18kg (40lb) guideline for manual handling by a single person (it
weighs < 22.7kg/50lbs). To avoid risk of injury, an assessment should be carried out prior to handling to check individual
capability, the equipment weight and the required workplace conditions, accordance with OSHA Technical Manual (OTM)
Section VII: Chapter 1 or equivalent National Regulations for manual handling.
!WARNING:ELECTRICAL HAZARD
This unit is powered by a 25.9V Li-ion battery pack. The unit is routinely charged with a supplied smart charger. This
charger is supplied with a protective ground lead for AC supply safety reasons. To maintain this level of protection, the
supply lead must always be connected to the supply via a socket with an earth contact.
This product must only be used with the supplied charger.
Do not remove covers as there are no user serviceable parts inside.
UNPACKING
Ensure that the total number of boxes of equipment is checked o󰀨 against the delivery documentation. At the same
time inspect for any obvious transit damage. Should any damage be noted, notify the carrier immediately to le a transit
damage claim. Do not discard any packing material until notied by the carrier or Kaelus. Carefully unpack all containers
and check that all items listed on the delivery documentation. Please notify Kaelus of any damaged or missing items from
the shipment.
The instrument uses similar frequencies and power levels to several cellular telephone systems. Kaelus and its agents or
distributors accept no responsibility for interference to existing communications services as a result of improper operation
or misuse. If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
This equipment should be protected from the ingress of liquids and precipitation such as rain and snow. The equipment
must be operated within the environmental conditions specied in Chapter 1.4. This equipment is not approved for use in
hazardous atmospheres, locations or medical applications.
