Chapter 4 Maintenance 

 
4.1 INTRODUCTION 
 
The E&I 1040L RF amplifier requires no periodic maintenance. The instrument is 
unconditionally stable and is fail-safe under all load conditions. Damage can only 
be externally caused by the incorrect selection of the AC supply voltage or by an 
input  signal  in  excess  of  the  specified  1  volt  rms  equivalent  to  a  power  level  of 
13dBm. 
 
This  chapter  therefore,  deals  only  with  certain  fundamental  procedures  for  fault 
location.
