Product Safety Summary

To avoid personal injury or damage to this product or devices connected to it, please review and abide by the
following safety guidelines.

Use the product only as specified.
Do not remove covers. There are no user serviceable components within the instrument.
Use only the proper power cable. Be sure the power cable is certified for the country in which the product will

be used.
Connect to proper power mains. The line voltage and frequency must be within the values specified for the

product.

Replace only with the proper fuse.
Ground the product. The chassis of this product is intended to be connected to earth ground through the

protective conductor in the power cable. Failure to ground the product potentially exposes the user to shock
hazard, may result in radiated or conducted emissions beyond the certified limits, or result in electro-static
discharge (ESD) damage to the product itself, or other devices connected to it.

Do not exceed input voltage or power ratings on any connector.
Do not operate product in an ambient environment beyond specifications.
Provide proper cooling. Make sure the instrument cooling vents are not blocked. Vacuum excess d ust from

ventilation openings when required.

Do not operate in a flammable or explosive environment.
Do not operate with suspected failure or physical damage.

Power for this device is controlled through a low voltage power switch located on the front panel. A “keep alive”
portion of the power supply circuit provides the small amount of power required to operate the switch and main
power control circuit. The product does not contain a principal power switch which disconnects the supply from
the power mains. In the unlikely event of a fire or other emergency, power can be disconnected by removing the
line cable from the power input connector located on the rear pane l.
