iv
General Safety Considerations
WARNING
l
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
n
For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only
with same type and rating (F
5A/25OV).
The use of other fuses or
material is prohibited.
n
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
n
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth
contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
n
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by
Hewlett-Packard Co., the protection provided by the instrument may
be impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition (in
which all means for protection are intact) only.
V
CAUTION
H
Before switching on this instrument, make sure that the line
voltage selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and
the correct fuse is installed.
n Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this
instrument. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not
using this cord may cause instrument damage.
n Before switching on this product, make sure that the line voltage
selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and
the correct fuse is installed. Assure the supply voltage is in the
specified range.
w
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a
cabinet, the convection into and out of the instrument must not be
restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be
less than the maximum operating temperature of the instrument
by 4 “C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the total
power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then
forced convection must be used.
n This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and
Pollution Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664, respectively.
Note
The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device.
It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other
parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby
switch and is not a LINE switch.
