OPERATOR SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
is used in the operation of this equip men t
LETHAL VOLTAGE
may be present on the terminals, observe all safety precautions!
To avoid electrical shock hazard, the operator should not electrically contact the output hi or sense hi binding posts. During operation, lethal voltages of up to 1100V ac or dc may be present on these terminals.
Whenever the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from equipment to reduce the hazard of
current flowing thought vital organs of the body.
Terms in this Manual
This instrument has been design ed and teste d in acc ordanc e with I EC Pub licati on 348, Safet y Requ ireme nts for
Electronic Measuring Apparatus. This man ual contains infor mation and warnings which have to be follow ed by
the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the instrument in safe condition.
WWarning statements identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury or loss of life.
WCaution statements identify conditions or practices that cou ld result in damage to the equ ipment or
other property.
Symbols Marked on Equipment
DANGER — High Voltage
Protective ground (earth) terminal
Attention — refer to the manual. This symbol indicates that information about the usage of a feature is contained in
the manual.
Power Source
The 5725A is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more than 264V ac rms between the supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor
in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified on the line voltage selection switch label, and which is identical in type voltage rating, and current rating.
Grounding the 5725A
The 5725A is Safety Class I (grounded enclosure) instruments as defined in IEC 348. The enclosure is grounded through the
grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired earth grounded
receptacle before connecting anything to any of the 5725A or 5700A terminals. A protective ground connection by way of the
grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector appropriate for proper operation of a 5725A in your country.
Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Refer cord and connector changes to qualified service personnel.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres
To avoid explosion, do not operate the 5725A in an atmosphere of explosive gas.
Do Not Remove Cover
To avoid personal injury or death, do not remove the 5725A cover. Do not operate the 5725A without the cover properly installed. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 5725A, so there is no need for the operator to ever remove the cover.
Do Not Attempt to Operate if Protection May be Impaired
If the 5725A appears damaged or operates abnormally, protection may be impaired. Do not attempt to operate it. When is
doubt, have the instrument serviced.
SERVICING SAFETY SUMMARY
FOR QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY
Also refer to the preceding Operator Safety Summary
Do Not Service Alone
Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this product unless another person capable of rendering first aid and
resuscitation is present.
Use Care When Servicing With Power On
Dangerous voltage exist at many points inside this product. To avoid personal injury, do not touch exposed connections and components while power is on.
Whenever the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from equipment to reduce the hazard of current
flowing through vital organs of the body.
Do not wear a grounded wrist strap while working on this product. A grounded wrist strap increase the risk of current
flowing through the body.
Disconnect power before removing protective panels, soldering, or replacing components.
High voltage may still be present even after disconnecting power.
FIRST AID FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK
Free the Victim From the Live Conductor
Shut off high voltage at once and ground the circuit. If hi gh voltage cannot be turned off quickly, ground the circui t.
If the circuit cannot be broken or grounded, use a board, dry clothing, or other nonconductor to f ree the victim.
Get Help!
Yell for help. Call an emergency number. Request medical assistance.
Never Accept Ordinary and General Tests for Death
Symptoms of electric shock may include unconsciousness, failur e to breathe, absence of pulse, pallor, and stif fness, and well as
severe burns.
Treat the Victim
If the victim is not breathing, begin CP R or mouth-to-mouth resuscitatio n if you are certified.
