IM 701240-01E

Safety Precautions

Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury or death or damage to the instrument.

WARNING

Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose

This instrument is a waveform measuring device that monitors and measures electrical signals. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as a waveform measuring device.

Check the Physical Appearance

Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.

Use the Correct Power Supply

Before connecting the power cord, ensure that the source voltage matches the rated supply voltage of the instrument and that it is within the maximum rated voltage of the provided power cord.

Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug

To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth terminal. Do not invalidate this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth grounding. Additionally, do not use the power cord supplied with this instrument with another instrument.

Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal

Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning ON the power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a threeprong type power cord. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded threeprong outlet.

Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding

Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazard.

Do Not Operate with Defective Protective Grounding or Fuse

Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective. Also, make sure to check them before operation.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors. Operation in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.

Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument

Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the instrument. The inside of the instrument is dangerous because parts of it have high voltages.

Ground the Instrument before Making External Connections

Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under measurement or to an external control unit. If you are going to touch the circuit, make sure to turn OFF the circuit and check that no voltage is present.

IM 701240-01E

Safety Precautions

Precautions to Be Taken When Using the Modules

• Do not apply input voltage exceeding the maximum input voltage, withstand voltage, or allowable surge voltage.

• To prevent the possibility of electric shock, be sure to furnish protective earth grounding of the SL1400.

• To prevent the possibility of electric shock, be sure to fasten the module screws. Otherwise, the electrical protection function and the mechanical protection function will not be activated.

• Do not leave the instrument connected to devices in an environment that may be subject to voltage surges.

Precautions to Be Taken When Using the Probes

• When measuring high voltages using the 701250 (HS10M12) or the 701251 (HS1M16), use the isolated probe (700929), 1:1 safety cable (combination of 701901 and 701954), or differential probe (700924).

• Be sure to connect the GND lead of the differential probe (700924) to the functional ground terminal of the SL1400. High voltage may appear at the BNC connector of the differential probe. Be sure to connect the GND lead to the SL1400 before connecting the probe to the parameter to be measured.

• When using the 701255 (NONISO_10M12), be sure to fasten the module screws. Fastening the module screws activates the protection function and the non-isolation function. It is extremely dangerous if you do not fasten the screws. In addition, when measuring high voltage above 42 V, be sure to use the passive probe (701940).

• The BNC part of the passive probe (701940) is made of metal. Therefore, use the probe at 42 V or less for isolated inputs (701250 (HS10M12), 701251 (HS1M16), etc.) for safety reasons. (Do not connect voltage above 42 V to both the High and Low sides.) For non-isolated inputs (701255 (NONISO_10M12), etc.), fasten the module screws as described before.

• When measuring high voltage using the 701267 (HV (with RMS)), use the measurement leads (758933) and the alligator clips (751954).

• The measurement category of the 701267 (HV (with RMS)) is 400V-CAT II for the low side and 700V-CAT II for the high side. Use caution because the overvoltage tolerance differs between the low and high sides.

Measurement Category

The measurement category of this instrument’s signal input terminals varies depending on the modules that are installed. Use the instrument within the scope of the measurement category that corresponds to the module specifications. Do not use the instrument outside the scope of the measurement category that corresponds to the module specifications.

Installation Location

• This instrument is designed to be used indoors. Do not install or use it outdoors.

• Install the instrument so that you can immediately remove the power cord if an abnormal or dangerous condition occurs.
