General Safety Information

The following safety precautions must be observed during the operation and
servicing of the unit. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
indications elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of intended use
of the unit. EXFO assumes no liability for the user's failure to comply with
these requirements.

This is a Safety Class

safe operation of the unit.

In addition, please follow the safety precautions listed below:

Precautions

These instructions and indications must be followed to ensure

Unit covers cannot be removed during operation.
Before powering ON the unit, all grounding terminals, extension cords,
and devices connected to it should be connected to a protective ground via

a ground socket. Any interruption of the protective grounding will cause a
potential shock hazard and possible personal injury.
Whenever the ground protection is impaired, the unit must not be used and
be secured against any accidental or unintended operation.

Only fuses with the required rated current and specified type (normal

blow, time delay, etc.) may be used for replacement. Do not use repaired

fuses or short-circuit fuseholders.

General Safety Information

and

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Any adjustments, maintenance, and repair of opened units under voltage
should be avoided and carried out only by skilled personnel aware of the
hazard involved. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless
another person qualified in first aid is present. Do not replace any
components while power cable is connected.
Operation of any electrical instrument around flammable gases or fumes
constitutes a major safety hazard.
Installation of substitute parts or modification of the unit should be carried
out by authorized personnel only.
Capacitors inside the unit may be charged even if the unit has been
disconnected from its electrical supply.

WARNING

A

To avoid serious injury, the following precautions must be observed before

powering

ON

the unit.

If

the unit is to be powered via an auto transformer for voltage

reduction, the common terminal must be connected to the grounded

power source pole.

Insert the power cable plug into a power outlet with a protective ground
contact. Do not use an extension cord without a protective conductor.
Before powering

ON

the unit, the protective ground terminal of the unit
must be connected to a protective conductor using the unit power cord.
Do not tamper with the protective ground terminal.

The following work should be carried out by a qualified electrician:

The color coding used in the cable depends on the cable. If a new plug is
being connected, it should meet the local safety requirements and include
the following features:

1.

Adequate load-carrying capacity

2.

Ground connection

3.
