To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and
cover must be connected to an electrical protective earth
ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power
mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground
wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety
ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock
hazard that could result in personal injury.
This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a
protective earth terminal). An uninterruptible safety earth
ground must be provided from the main power source to the
product input wiring terminal or supplied power cable. The
protective features of this product may be impaired if it is
used in a manner not specified in the operation instructions.
Fuses

Fuses
For continued protection against fire, only the fuses with
the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Go to the
Service section of the on-line help for the specifications for
each fuse. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse
holders. To do so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
