SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This chapter contains important safety instructions
that you must follow during operation and storage.
Read the following before any operation to ensure
your safety and to keep the instrument in the best
possible condition.
Safety Symbols
These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the
instrument.
WARNING
Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that
could result in damage to the GLC-10000
or to other properties.
DANGER High Voltage
Attention Refer to the Manual
Protective Conductor Terminal
Earth (ground) Terminal
Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased.

Safety Guidelines
General Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on the
instrument.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the instrument.
Do not discharge static electricity to the
instrument.
Do not block or obstruct the cooling fan vent
opening.
Do not perform measurement at circuits
directly connected to Mains (Note below).
Do not disassemble the instrument unless you
are qualified as service personnel.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows. the
GLC-10000 falls under category II
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Measurement category I is for measurements performed on
circuits not directly connected to Mains.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC 100V～240V ±10%, 50/60Hz
Connect the protective grounding conductor of
the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid
electrical shock.
Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: T0.63A/250V
Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed
before power up.

GLC-10000 User Manual

To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord before fuse
replacement.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before fuse replacement.
Cleaning the
GLC-10000
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemical or cleaner containing harsh
material such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and
acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. The GLC-10000 falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.

Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Temperature: −10°C to 50°C
Mains supply voltage fluctuations: +/-10 %
If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
LAN, RS232, USB, Signal I/O and GPIB ports
are only to be connected to the circuits which
are separated from mains supply by double /
reinforce insulation.
Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Power Cord
Do NOT replace the detachable MAINS supply
cord by inadequately RATED cords.
Suitable supply cord set shall use with the
equipment:
- Mains plug: Shall be national approval;
- Mains connector: C13 type;
Cable:
1) Length of power supply cord: less than 3 m;
2) Cross-section of conductors: at least 0.75 mm2;
Cord type:
- Shall meet the requirements of IEC 60227 or
IEC 60245 (e.g.: H05VV-F, H05RN-F) or
national approval.
The power switch that is included in the
instrument is not considered a disconnecting
device. The mains plug is used as the
disconnecting device. Do NOT position the
equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect
the appliance inlet or power plug.
