Review the fo
this product or any products connected to it.

To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specified.

Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.

While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system.
Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and
cautions related to operating the system.

Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and
certified for the country of use.

Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement
instrument before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the
probe reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input.
Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test
before disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.

Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor
of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be
connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output

erminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded.

t

llowing safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to

Ground the product. This product is indirectly grounded through the grounding
conductor of the mainframe power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding
conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to
the input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly
grounded.

Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings
and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to the product.

The inputs are not rated for connection to mains or Category II, III, or IV cir cuits.

Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.

Power disconnect. The power switch disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not block the power switch; it must
remain accessible to the user at all times.

Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.

Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with
before attempting service.

Throughout this manual, the term module appears. A module is composed of
electrical and mechanical assemblies, circuit cards, interconnecting cables, and a
user-accessible front panel. References to a module are different than references to
products such as “Sampling modules”, “Phase Reference modules”, or “Accessory

dules”, which are products installed in the instrument compartments or on

All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical specifications
are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications that are
marked with the

All specifications apply to the instrument and sampling modules unless noted
otherwise. To meet specifications, these conditions must first be met:

The instrument must have been calibrated/adjusted at an ambient temperature
between +10 °C and +40 °C.

The instrumen

t must have been operating continuously for 20 minutes within

the operating temperature range specified.

The instrument must be in an environment with temperature, altitude,
