SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This product has been designed, produced and tested in Italy, and it left the factory in conditions fully
complying with the current safety standards. To maintain it in safe conditions and ensure correct use,
these general instructions must be fully understood and applied before the product is used.
•This is an industrial instrument for special EMC test purposes and should be installed and operated
by qualified, authorized and trained personnel only.
•High magnetic fields are present around the instrument when used at high currents. It is highly
recommended not to approach the machine when in operation, and especially forbidden for people
with pacemakers or other electromedical devices.
•When the device must be connected permanently, first provide effective grounding;
•If the device must be connected to other equipment or accessories, make sure they are all safely
grounded;
•In case of devices permanently connected to the power supply, and lacking any fuses or other
devices of mains protection, the power line must be equipped with adequate protection
commensurate to the consumption of all the devices connected to it;
•In case of connection of the device to the power mains, make sure before connection that the voltage
selected on the voltage switch and the fuses are adequate for the voltage of the actual mains;
•Devices in Safety Class I, equipped with connection to the power mains by means of cord and plug,
can only be plugged into a socket equipped with a ground wire;
•Any interruption or loosening of the ground wire or of a connecting power cable, inside or outside the
device, will cause a potential risk for the safety of the personnel;
•Ground connections must not be interrupted intentionally;
•To prevent the possible danger of electrocution, do not remove any covers, panels or guards installed
on the device, and refer only to NARDA Service Centers if maintenance should be necessary;
•To maintain adequate protection from fire hazards, replace fuses only with others of the same type
and rating;
•Follow the safety regulations and any additional instructions in this manual to prevent accidents and
damages.
•It is important to create a security zone around the instrument (at least 1.5m) where no one should go
in while the test is in progress.
•Since improper or careless operation could result in an injury risk, these operating instructions make
an essential part of the device and must be available to the operator at all times. The user must
satisfy all safety instructions and warnings.

terminals through the power cable (or supplied power cable set).
Verify the safety earth ground functionality before operation.
Before connecting this instrument, ensure that an uninterruptible
safety earth ground is provided from the main power source to the
product protective earth connection. If this instrument is to be
connected to other equipment or accessories, prior to energizing
either unit verify that a common ground exists between them.
Any interruption or loosening of the protective earth ground
conductor, either inside or outside the unit or in an extension cable
will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal
injury.
