Safety
Considerations
GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with
safety markings and instructions before operation.
This product has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication
1010, "Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus," and has been
supplied in a safe condition. This instruction documentation contains information
and warnings which must be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to
maintain the product in a safe condition.
SAFETY EARTH GROUND
A uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the main power
source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or supplied power cord
set.
CHASSIS GROUND TERMINAL
To prevent a potential shock hazard, always connect the rear-panel chassis ground
terminal to earth ground when operating this instrument from a dc power source.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
Indicates instrument damage can occur if indicated operating limits are exceeded.
Indicates hazardous voltages.
Indicates earth (ground) terminal
WARNING A WARNING note denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure,
practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could
result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the
indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
CAUTION A CAUTION note denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operation procedure,
practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result
in damage to or destruction of part or all of the product. Do not proceed beyond
an CAUTION note until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

Safety Considerations for this Instrument
WARNING This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earthing ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the product is
likely to make the product dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited..
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument
must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for voltage
reduction), make sure the common terminal is connected to the earth
terminal of the power source.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal
condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
No operator serviceable parts in this product. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid
electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do
so.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous
voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage sources while it is being
opened.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to
the instrument while protective covers are removed. Energy available at
many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that my remain live for
5 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
For Continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s) only
with 250 V fuse(s) or the same current rating and type (for example, normal
blow or time delay). Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited
fuseholders.

CAUTION: Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this product. Failure to ensure
adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause product damage.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree
2 per IEC 1010 and IEC 664 respectively.
This product has autoranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is
within the specified range.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet.
If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced
convection must be used.
