CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution
Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.
Electrical channel input circuits and the trigger input circuit can be damaged
by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore, avoid applying static discharges
to the front-panel input connectors. Prior to connecting any coaxial cable to
the connectors, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the
cable together. Avoid touching the front-panel input connectors without first
touching the frame of the instrument. Be sure that the instrument is properly
earth-grounded to prevent buildup of static charge. Wear a wrist-strap or heelstrap.
Optical channel fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to
dirty or damaged cables and accessories. When you use improper cleaning and
handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument repairs, damaged cables,
and compromised measurements. Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to
the Infiniim DCA, Chapter 1 in the Infiniium DCA’s Quick Start Guide.
