Safety Considerations

GENERAL

This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings and instructions before operation.

This product has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 1010, "Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus," and has been supplied in a safe condition. This instruction documentation contains information and warnings which must be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to maintain the product in a safe condition.

SAFETY EARTH GROUND

A uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the main power source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord set.

CHASSIS GROUND TERMINAL

To prevent a potential shock hazard, always connect the rear-panel chassis ground terminal to earth ground when operating this instrument from a dc power source.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

!

WARNING

Indicates instrument damage can occur if indicated operating limits are exceeded. Refer to the instructions in this guide.

Indicates hazardous voltages.

Indicates earth (ground) terminal

A WARNING note denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

Safety Considerations for this Instrument

WARNING	This product is a Safety Class I instrument (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 of the product is
	likely to make the product dangerous. Intentional interruption
	is prohibited.
	Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the
	instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against
	any unintended operation.
	If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for
	voltage reduction), make sure the common terminal is
	connected to the earth terminal of the power source.
	If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided
	by the equipment could be impaired. This product must be used
	in a normal condition (in which all means for protection are
	intact) only.
	No operator serviceable parts in this product. Refer servicing
	to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not
	remove covers.
	Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
	To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless
	you are qualified to do so.
	The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose
	dangerous voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage
	sources while it is being opened.
	Adjustments described in the manual are performed with
	power supplied to the instrument while protective covers are
	removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted,
	result in personal injury.
	The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that my
	remain live for 5 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its
	power supply.
	For Continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line

5

fuse(s) only with 250 V fuse(s) or the same current rating and type (for example, normal blow or time delay). Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited fuseholders.

6

CAUTION Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this product. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause product damage.

This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and IEC 664 respectively. For indoor use only.

This product has autoranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is within the specified range.

Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating temperature of the product 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.

Product Markings

CE - the CE mark is a registered trademark of the European Community. A CE mark accompanied by a year indicated the year the design was proven.

CSA - the CSA mark is a registered trademark of the Canadian

Standards Association.
