SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter contains important safety
instructions that you must follow during
operation and storage. Read the following before
any operation to insure your safety and to keep
the instrument in the best possible condition.

Safety Symbols

These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the
instrument.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.

General
Guideline

CAUTION

 Do not place any heavy object on the 2260B.
 Avoid severe impact or rough handling that

leads to damaging the 2260B.

 Do not discharge static electricity to the 2260B.
 Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for

the terminals.

 Do not block the cooling fan opening.
 Do not disassemble the 2260B unless you are

qualified.

(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 and EN 61010-2-030
specify the measurement categories and their requirements as
follows. The 2260B falls under category II.

 Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the

source of low-voltage installation.

 Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the

building installation.

 Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the

circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.

 0 is for measurements performed on circuits not directly

connected to Mains.

Power Supply

WARNING

 To avoid electrical shock connect the protective

grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.

Cleaning the
2260B

 Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
 Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild

detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.

 Do not use chemicals containing harsh material

such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

2260B Series Quick Start Guide

Operation
Environment

 Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,

almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)

 Relative Humidity: 20%~ 85%

 Altitude: < 2000m

 Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 and EN 61010-2-030 specify the
pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The 2260B 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, non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Storage

Disposal

Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

 Location: Indoor

 Temperature: -15°C to 70°C

 Relative Humidity: <90%, no condensation

Power cord for the United Kingdom

When using the power supply 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:

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.
