Safety Information
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard.
It calls attention to an operating
procedure, practice, or the like that,
if not correctly performed or adhered
to, could result in damage to the
product or loss of important data. Do
not proceed beyond a CAUTION
notice until the indicated conditions
are fully understood and met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a hazard.
It calls attention to an operating
procedure, practice, or the like that, if
not correctly performed or adhered
to, could result in personal injury or
death. Do not proceed beyond a
WARNING notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
Safety Symbols
The following symbols on the instrument and in the documentation indicate
precautions which must be taken to maintain safe operation of the instrument.
Caution, risk of danger (refer to this manual for
specific Warning or Caution information)

Safety Consideration
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
WARNING
Read the information below before using the instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, intended use of the instrument, and could result in electrical shock or injury.
Keysight Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. Make all connections to the unit before
applying power.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This product is provided with protective earth terminals. To minimize shock
hazard, the instrument must be connected to the ac power mains through a
grounded power cable, with the ground wire family connected to an electrical
ground (safety ground) at the protective (grounding) conductor. Disconnection of
the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result
in personal injury.
BEFORE POWER ON AND OFF
Before powering on the instrument, make sure all signal sources connected to
modules are turned off. Turn on signal sources after the instrument is powered on.
Turn off signal sources before the instrument is powered off.
DO NOT REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT COVER
Only qualified, service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved
should remove the instrument covers. Always disconnect the power cable and any
external circuits before removing the instrument cover.
MODULE COVERS
Always replace module covers after terminal wiring and before inserting into
mainframe.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
DO NOT MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the
product. Return the product to a Keysight Sales and Service Office for service and
repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
DO NOT MEASURE MORE THAN THE RATED VOLTAGE
Maximum voltage as marked on each module is as below:
a) DAQM901A, DAQM903A: 300 Vrms
b) DAQM905A: 42 Vpk
DO NOT CONNECT ANY MODULE CHANNELS TO MAINS
Measurement category of the instrument is rated as CAT 'Others', terminals
should not be directly connected to the mains.
Keysight U3900DAQ Switching System Lab Solution Getting Started Guide 4
AC POWER CORD
Removal of the AC power cord is the disconnect method to remove power from
Connect USB cable with ferrite core to the rear panel USB port of the instrument.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can result in damage to the components at the
the instrument. Be sure to allow for adequate access to the power cord to permit
disconnection from AC power. Use only the Keysight specified power cord for the
country of use or one with equivalent ratings.
SELF-TEST
Before measuring any hazardous voltage or current, run the *TST? query from the
remote interface, and read the result to verify that the instrument is performing
properly. The *TST? query is a self-test that returns +0 if the instrument passes
and +1 if the instrument fails. You can also perform this query from the front panel
by pressing [Utility] > Self Test > Quick Test. If this self-test fails, make sure that
the instrument is repaired and passes the self-test before continuing.
This is a sensitive measurement apparatus by design and may have some
performance loss when exposed to ambient continuous electromagnetic
phenomenon. Measurement Considerations – use shielded or twisted cable, use
common mode choke, ferrite clamp and damping resistor before the input.
CLEANING
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from AC mains power
before cleaning. Clean the outside of the instrument with a soft, lint-free, slightly
dampened cloth. Do not use detergent, volatile liquids, or chemical solvents. Do
not attempt to clean internally. If needed, contact a Keysight Technologies Sales
and Service Office to arrange for proper cleaning to ensure that safety features
and performance are maintained.
NOTE
CAUTION
exposed area of the educational kit. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD):
− Select a static-free work location when installing and removing sensitive
component.
− Handle sensitive components to the minimum extent possible with ESD safe
practices.
− Transport and store in ESD preventive bags or containers that protect
sensitive components from static electricity.
CAUTION
− If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
instrument protection may be impaired.
− Always use a dry cloth to clean the instrument. Do not use ethyl alcohol or any
other volatile liquid.
