2Safety and Regulatory Information
Ground The System
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.
Fuses
Use only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal blow, time delay). Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited
fuse holders. To do so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
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
WARNING In order to aviod electrical hazards, all system internal fuses must be
replaced by trained and qualified personnel.
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
N9360A. 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, Ta b l e 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.
