CAUTION. A direct electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To
learn how to avoid this damage, read the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic
equipment. The instrument is designed with robust ESD protection; however it
is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal
input may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the
following techniques to prevent electrostatic discharge to the instrument.

Test and measuring equipment.
Class 1 – grounded product.
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around
and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is
considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or
located in clean rooms.
Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must
be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.

Pollution degr
that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations
where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected
from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution degree 4 . Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for indoor, dry location
use only.
Measurem
from one or more of the following categories (see specific ratings marked on
the product and in the manual).
NOTE. Only mains power supply circuits have an overvoltage category rating.
Only measurement circuits have a measurement category rating. Other circuits
within the product do not have either rating.
ent terminals on this product m ay be rated for measuring mains voltages
Category II. Circuits directly connected to the building wiring at utilization
points (socket outlets and similar points).
Category III. In the building wiring and distribution system.
ory IV. At the source of the electrical supply to the building.
Categ
ee 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution
Mains overvoltage
Overvoltage category II (as defined in IEC 61010-1).

Environmental considerations
This section provides information about the environmental impact of the product.
Product end-of-life
handling
Observe the following guidelines when recycling an instrument or component:
Perchlorate materials. This product contains one or more type CR lithium
batteries. According to the state of California, CR lithium batteries are
classified as perchlorate materials and require specia l handling. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for additional information.
