Agilent Technologies E5071C ENA Series User manual

Caution
Do not exceed the operating input power, voltage, and current
level and signal type appropriate for the instrument being used, refer to
your instrument's Function Reference.
Electrostatic discharge(ESD) can damage the highly sensitive
microcircuits in your instrument. ESD damage is most likely to occur as
the test fixtures are being connected or disconnected. Protect them from
ESD damage by wearing a grounding strap that provides a high
resistance path to ground. Alternatively, ground yourself to discharge any
static charge built-up by touching the outer shell of any grounded
instrument chassis before touching the test port connectors.

Safety Summary
When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately
terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.
Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales representative or
authorized service company for repair of the instrument. If you continue
to operate without repairing the instrument, there is a potential fire or
shock hazard for the operator.
- Instrument operates abnormally.
- Instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke or a spark-like
light during operation.
- Instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock
during operation.
- Power cable, plug, or receptacle on instrument is damaged.
- Foreign substance or liquid has fallen into the instrument.

voltage levels may remain even after the power cable has been disconnected. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect the power and discharge circuits before touching them.
• DO NOT Service or Adjust the Instrument Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
• DO NOT Substitute Parts or Modify the Instrument
To avoid the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or
perform unauthorized modifications to the instrument. Return the instrument to an
Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained in operational condition.
• Dangerous Procedure Warnings
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures
throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.

Checking the Shipment
2. Installation
Checking the Shipment
After you receive the analyzer, carry out checks during unpacking according to the
following procedure.
WARNING When unpacking the analyzer, if the external face of the analyzer (such as the cover,
front/rear panel, LCD screen, power switch, and port connectors) appear to be
damaged during transport, do not turn on the power switch. Otherwise, you may get
an electric shock.
Step 1. Check that the packing box or shock-absorbing material used to package the analyzer has
not been damaged.
NOTE If the packing box or shock-absorbing material has been damaged, leave the packing box
and shock-absorbing material as is until other inspection items are checked as follows:
Step 2. Check the packaged items supplied with the analyzer for any damage or defects.
Step 3. By referring to the furnished contents list, check that all packaged items supplied with the
analyzer have been provided as per the specified options.
Step 4. After checking, if one of the following applies, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies
sales and service office.
1. The packing box or shock-absorbing material used to package the analyzer has been
damaged or the shock-absorbing material has traces where extreme force has been
applied.
2. A packaged item supplied with the analyzer has mechanical damage or defects.
3. A packaged item supplied with the analyzer is missing.
4. A fault has been detected in the subsequent operation check of the analyzer.
If an abnormality is detected in step 1, contact the company that transported the analyzer as
well as your nearest Agilent Technologies sales and service office. For inspection by the
transport company, save the packing box, shock-absorbing material, and packaged items as
you received them.
