SAFETY INSTRUCTION

This chapter contains important safety instructions that you must follow when operating the LCR meter and when keeping it in storage. Read the following before any operation to insure your safety and to keep the best condition for the LCR meter.

Safety Symbols

The following safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the LCR meter:

WARNING

Identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or loss of life.

CAUTION

Identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the LCR meter or to other properties.

DANGER

High voltage

ATTENTION

Refer to the manual

Protective conductor terminal

Earth (ground) terminal

Chassis ground terminal

Safety Guidelines

General Instruction

 Do not place heavy objects on the casing.  Avoid serious impact or improper handling to prevent damage to the LCR meter.  Preventive measures for releasing static electricity should be taken when

connecting the LCR meter.

 Do not block the air ventilation holes on the two sides and on the back of the

chassis.

 Do not disassemble the LCR meter unless you are professionals.

Power supply

AC Input voltage: 110V/220V±10%, 50/60Hz Connect the protective grounding conductor of the AC power cord to an earth ground to avoid electrical shock.

Fuse

 Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed before power up.  Replace the AC fuse with the same type and rating as the original fuse.  Disconnect the power cord before fuse replacement. Make sure the cause of fuse

blowout is fixed before fuse replacement.

Cleaning

 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 or cleaner containing harsh material such as benzene,

toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Operation environment

 Location: indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free, almost non-conductive pollution.  Relative humidity: <80%  Altitude: <2000m  Temperature: 0℃ ~ 40℃

Storage environment

 Location: indoor  Relative humidity: <70%  Temperature: 10℃ ~ 70℃
