Safety Information
Safety
This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with terminal for protective
earthing). Before applying power, verify that the correct safety
precautions are taken (see the following warnings). In addition, note the
external markings on the instrument that are described under Safety
Symbols. Do not operate the instrument with its covers removed.
Replace fuse only with specified type.
Warning
Before turning on the instrument, you must connect the protective earth
terminal of the instrument to the protective earth conductor of the
(mains) power cord. The mains plug must only be inserted in a socket
outlet with a protective earth contact. Do not negate the protective
action by using an extension power cord without a protective grounding
conductor. Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not
sufficient protection.
Service instructions are for trained service personnel. To avoid
dangerous electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to
do so. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another
person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
If you energize this instrument using an auto-transformer (for voltage
reduction), make sure that the common terminal is connected to the
earth terminal of the power source.
Whenever it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must
make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended
operation.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification
to the instrument.
