1.1 Introduction
Read these pages carefully before beginning to install and use the instrument.
The following paragraphs contain information, cautions and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe operation and to keep the instrument in a safe condition.
Servicing described in this manual is to be done only by qualified service personnel. To avoid electrical shock, do not service the instrument unless you are qualified to do so.
1.2 Safety Precautions
For the correct and safe use of this instrument it is essential that both operating and service personnel follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified in this manual. Specific warning and caution statements, where they apply, will be found throughout the manual. Where necessary, the warning and caution statements and/or symbols are marked on the instrument.

1.5 Impaired Safety
1.6 General Safety Information
Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the instrument must be turned off and disconnected from line power. The matter should then be referred to qualified technicians. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument fails to perform the intended measurements or shows visible damage.
Warning
Removing the instrument covers or removing parts, except those to which access can be gained by hand, is likely to expose live parts and accessible terminals which can be dangerous to life.
The instrument shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened.
Capacitors inside the instrument can hold their charge even if the instrument has been separated from all voltage sources.
Components which are important for the safety of the instrument may only be replaced by components obtained through your local FLUKE organization. These parts are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the List of Replaceable Parts, Chapter 8.

2.1 Introduction
Performance Characteristics
FLUKE guarantees the properties expressed in numerical values with the stated tolerance. Specified non-tolerance numerical values indicate those that could be nominally expected from the mean of a range of identical ScopeMeter test tools.
Environmental Data
The environmental data mentioned in this manual are based on the results of the manufacturer’s verification procedures.
Safety Characteristics
The test tool has been designed and tested in accordance with Standards ANSI/ISA S82.01-1994, EN 61010-1 (1993) (IEC 1010-1), CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.1010.1-92 (including approval), UL3111-1 (including approval) Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use. Use of this equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair protection provided by the equipment.
