Safety Precautions
Never use a damaged power cord.
• Use of a damaged cord may result in a re hazard due to
electrical shock.
•If the cord becomes damaged, order a new one to replace it.
Prevent dust or metallic matter from adhering to the
power supply connector.
• Adhesion of foreign matter may cause a re hazard due to
electrical shock or current leakage.
Safety Precautions
WARNING
Before turning on the GL7000, ensure that the electric
socket’s supply voltage conforms to the GL7000’s
power rating.
•Use of a different supply voltage may cause damage to the
GL7000 or a re hazard due to electrical shock or current
leakage.
Avoid using the GL7000 in places where it may be
exposed to water such as bathrooms, locations
exposed to wind and rain, and so on.
Never disassemble or remodel the GL7000.
• Such action may cause a re hazard due to electric shock or
current leakage.
•Contact with a high-voltage component inside the GL7000
may cause electric shock.
•If repair is required, contact your
sales representative or nearest
Graphtec vendor.
Avoid using the GL7000 in extremely dusty or humid
places.
• Such use may cause a re hazard due to electrical shock or
current leakage.
Be sure to securely connect the GL7000’s power cord.
•After checking that the Power switch is turned off, connect
the power cord’s female plug to the GL7000 and then
connect its male plug into the electrical socket.
•Use of the GL7000 without the power cord securely plugged
into the electrical socket may result in electrical shock due to
current leakage.
• Before running the GL7000, be sure to ground the protective
ground terminal ( ) to avoid electrical shock and re
hazards. For grounding, use a ground wire with a diameter
of at least 0.75 mm2. When using the GL7000 in an
environment where grounding is not possible, ensure that
the voltage to be measured is no greater than 50 V (DC or
rms).
Securely connect the power
cord Make sure that the socket
has a good protective ground
If the GL7000 generates smoke, is too hot, emits a strange
odor, or otherwise functions abnormally, turn off its power
and unplug its power cord from the electrical socket.
• Use of the GL7000 in such status may result in a re hazard
or electrical shock.
•After checking that smoke is no longer being generated,
contact your sales representative or nearest Graphtec
vendor to request repair.
•Never try to perform repair yourself. Repair work by
inexperienced personnel is extremely dangerous.

iii
Safety Precautions
Do not use the GL7000 in a location subject to excessive
mechanical vibration or electrical noise.
•Such location may impair the GL7000’s performance.
Do not place coffee cups or other receptacles
containing fluid on the GL7000.
• Fluid spilling inside the GL7000 may cause a re hazard due
to electrical shock or current leakage.
Do not use or store the label printer in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or the direct draft of an air
conditioner or heater.
•Such location may impair the
GL7000’s performance.
To insert or disconnect the power cord or a signal input
cable, grasp the power cord’s plug or the signal input
cable’s connector.
•Pulling the cord/cable itself damages the cord/cable,
resulting in a re hazard or electrical shock.
If fluid or foreign matters enters inside the GL7000,
turn off the Power switch and disconnect the power
cord from the electrical socket.
• Use in such status may cause a re hazard due to electrical
shock or current leakage.
•Contact your sales representative or nearest Graphtec vendor
to request repair.
Do not input voltage that exceeds the permissible input
voltage range that is specified on the GL7000’s label.
•Exceeding the specied voltage input range may cause
electrical shock or a re hazard.
Do not attempt to lubricate the GL7000’s mechanisms.
•Such action may cause the GL7000 to break down.
Never clean the GL7000 using a volatile solvent (such
as thinner or benzine).
•Such action may impair the GL7000’s performance.
•Clean off any soiled areas using a soft dry cloth.

Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the GL7000 DATA PLATFORM.
Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to use your new product to ensure that you use it correctly
and to its full potential.
Notes on Use
Be sure to read all of the following notes before attempting to use the GL7000 DATA PLATFORM.
1. Note on the CE Marking
The GL7000 complies with the EN61326 (Class A) standard based on the EMC directive (2004/108/EC).
It also conforms to the EN61010-1 standard based on the LV directive (2006/95/EC).
Although the GL7000 complies with the above-mentioned standards, be sure to use it correctly in accordance
with the instructions and notes provided in its User’s Manual.
Moreover, use of the GL7000 by incorrect procedures may result in damage to the GL7000 or may invalidate
its safeguards. Please conrm all of its notes regarding use and other related information to ensure correct
use.
2. Warning
This is a Class A product according to the EMC directive. In a domestic environment, this product may cause
radio interference or may be affected by radio interference to the extent that proper measurement cannot be
performed.
3. Notes for Safe Operation
(1) In environments where there is a lot of noise or where the power supply is unstable, we recommend that
you ground the GL7000.
(2) When a high-voltage signal cable has been connected to the main unit’s analog signal input terminal,
avoid touching the leads of the input terminal’s signal cable to prevent electrical shock due to high
voltage.
(3) Ensure that the GL7000’s power source is positioned so that it can easily be disconnected.
4. Notes on Functions and Performance
(1) Be sure to connect the main unit to an AC power supply that conforms to the rated range.
Connection to a non-rated power supply may cause the main unit to overheat and break down.
(2) Do not block the vent on the main unit.
Continued operation with the vent blocked may cause the main unit to overheat and break down.
(3) To avoid malfunctions and other damage, avoid using the GL7000 in the following locations.
• Places exposed to high temperature and/or high humidity, such as in direct sunlight or near heating
equipment. (Allowable temperature range: 0 to 45°C, Allowable humidity range: 5 to 85%R.H.)
• Locations subject to excessive salt spray or heavy fumes from corrosive gas or solvents.
• Excessively dusty locations.
• Locations subject to strong vibrations or shock.
• Locations subject to surge voltages and/or electromagnetic interference.
(4) If the main unit becomes soiled, wipe it off using a soft, dry cloth. Do not use the organic solvents (such
as thinner or benzene).
(5) Do not use the GL7000 in the vicinity of other devices which are susceptible to electromagnetic
interference.

II
Introduction
(6) Measured results may not conform to the stated specications if the GL7000 is used in an environment
which is subject to strong electromagnetic interference.
(7) Insofar as possible, position the GL7000 input signal cables away from any other cables which are likely
to be affected by electromagnetic interference.
(8) For stabilized measurement, allow the GL7000 to warm up for at least 30 minutes after turning it on.
