Instruction manual

General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid person injury and prevent damage to the
instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as
specified.
Only qualified technician should perform service procedures
To Avoid Fire or Personal Injure
Use Proper Power Line
Use only the special power line of the instrument which approved by local state.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument grounds through the protective terra conductor of the power line. To avoid electric
shock, the ground conductor must be connected to the earth. Make sure the instrument is grounded
correctly before connect its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Wire Correctly
The potential of the signal wire is equal to the earth, so do not connect the signal wire to a high
voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts or components.
Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction of the instrument.
Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain more information about the
ratings.
Not Operate with Suspected Failures
If you suspect that there is a damage of the instrument, please let a qualified service personnel check
it.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposed Components Exposed
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.

Keep the surface of the instrument clean and dry.
