Safety Guidelines
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.
Do not place flammable objects on the instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that may damage the function generator.
Avoid discharges of static electricity on or near the function generator.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for the terminals.
The instrument should only be disassembled by a qualified technician.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the measurement categories and their requirements as follows. The instrument falls under category II.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the source of a low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in a building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on circuits directly connected to a low voltage installation.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to Mains.
Power Supply |
|
AC Input voltage: 100 ~ 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz. |
WARNING |
|
Connect the protective grounding conductor of |
|
the AC power cord to an earth ground to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevent electric shock. |

WARNING |
Only qualified technicians should replace the |

fuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only |
|
|
|
|
|
with the specified type and rating. |
|
|
|
Disconnect the power cord and all test leads |
|
|
|
|
|
before replacing the fuse. |
|
|
|
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed |
|
|
|
|
|
before replacing the fuse. |

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid |
|
|
|
|
into the function generator. |
|
|
|
Do not use chemicals containing harsh products |
|
|
|
|
|
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone. |

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The function generator falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, nonconductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the function generator in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/ Yellow: |
Earth |
Blue: |
Neutral |
Brown: |
Live (Phase) |
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth terminal
marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol 
or coloured Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm2 should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous, turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced in accordance to the above standard.
