equipment or other property.

Symbols Marked on Equipment

SDANGER — High Voltage

QProtective ground (earth) terminal

PAttention — refer to the manual. This symbol indicates that information about

the usage of a feature is contained in the manual.

Power Source

The 5700A Series II and 5720A Series II are intended to operate from a power source that

will not apply more than 264V ac rms between the supply conductors or between either

supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding

conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

Use the Proper Fuse

To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified on the line voltage selection switch label,

and which is identical in type voltage rating, and current rating.

Grounding the 5700A Series II or 5720A Series II

The 5700A Series II and 5720A Series II are Safety Class I (grounded enclosure)

instruments as defined in IEC 348. The enclosure is grounded through the grounding

conductor of the power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a

properly wired earth grounded receptacle before connecting anything to any of the 5700A

Series II or 5720A Series II terminals. A protective ground connection by way of the

grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

Use the Proper Power Cord

Always use the power (line) cord and connector appropriate for the voltage and outlet of

the country or location in which you are working.

Always match the line cord to the instrument.

•Use the AC line cord supplied with this instrument with this instrument only.

•Do not use this line cord with any other instruments.

•Do not use any other line cords with this instrument.

Use only the power cord and connector appropriate for proper operation of a 5700A Series

II or 5720A Series II in your country.

Use only a power cord that is in good condition.

For detailed information on power cords, refer to Figure 2-3 in Chapter 2.

Refer cord and connector changes to qualified service personnel.

Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres

To avoid explosion, do not operate the 5700A Series II or 5720A Series II in an

atmosphere of explosive gas.

Do Not Remove Cover

To avoid personal injury, do not remove the cover from the 5700A Series II or 5720A

Series II. Do not operate the 5700A Series II or 5720A Series II without the cover properly

installed. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the 5700A Series II or the 5720A

Series II, so there is no need for the operator to ever remove the cover.

FIRST AID FOR

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Free the Victim From the Live Conductor

Shut off high voltage at once and ground the circuit. If high voltage cannot be turned off

quickly, ground the circuit.

Get Help!

Call loudly for help. Call an emergency number. Request medical assistance.

Never Accept Ordinary and General Tests for Death

Symptoms of electric shock may include unconsciousness, failure to breathe, absence of

pulse, pallor, and stiffness, and well as severe burns.

Treat the Victim

If the victim is not breathing, begin CPR or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if you are

certified.
