2Safety and Regulatory Information
Before Applying Power
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage
and all safety precautions are taken. Note the external markings
of the instruments described in “Safety Symbols and
Regulatory Markings”.
Operator Safety Information
Cables and connectors are considered inaccessible if a tool (e.g.
screwdriver, wrench, socket, etc.) or a key (equipment in a
locked cabinet) is required to gain access to a conductive
surface connected to any cable conductor (High, Low or Guard).
Verify there are multiple and sufficient protective means (rated
for the voltages you are applying) to assure the operator will
NOT come into contact with any energized conductor even if
one of the protective means fails to work as intended.
For example, the inner side of a case, cabinet, door cover or
panel can be covered with an insulating material as well as
routing the test cables to the front panel connectors of the
module through non-conductive, flexible conduit such as that
used in electrical power distribution.
WARNING
M
Module connectors and Test Signal cables connected to them
cannot be operator accessible.
WARNING
Assure the equipment under test has adequate insulation
between the cable connections and any operator-accessible parts
(doors, covers, panels shields, cases, cabinets, etc.)

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Static electricity is destructive to your production process and
the TS-8900. Careless handling and poor site planning can cause
system reliability problems and reduce your product yield. The
system may not be as easily damaged as the modules you will be
testing, but good anti-static planning will help ensure high
reliability.
The ESD symbol below indicates areas where ESD caution must
be exercised. This is to prevent damage to instruments and/or
test disruption.
While not an exhaustive list of anti-static precautions, Table 2-3
shows suggestions to consider as you plan your system area:
ESD Symbol
Caution: Static Sensitive.
Electrostatic discharge in this area may cause equipment damage or
test disruption.
Table 2-3 Suggested Anti-Static Solutions for Site Planning
Precaution Suggested Solution
Anti-static flooring Plan to use an anti-static floor
covering or mats.
Grounding straps Plan for foot straps in conjunction
with anti-static flooring and wrist
straps for system operators.
CAUTION
The system test rack is secured to the pallet of the shipping crate
and wrapped with a plastic wrap. Do not move the crate or the test
rack and pallet to a static sensitive area until you have removed the
plastic wrap from the test rack.
