WARNING This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted
in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of
the protective conductor inside or outside of the product is likely to make the
product dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument
must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for voltage
reduction), make sure the common terminal is connected to the earth terminal
of the power source.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal condition
(in which all means for protection are intact) only.
No operator serviceable parts in this product. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid
electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous
voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage sources while it is being
opened.
The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that my remain live for
5 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
For Continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s) only with
250 V fuse(s) or the same current rating and type (for example, normal blow or
time delay). Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited fuseholders.
Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this product. Failure to
ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause product
damage.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution
Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and IEC 664 respectively. FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
This product has autoranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is
within the specified range.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect instrument from mains (line) before
cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean the
external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet.
If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced
convection must be used.
