General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal
injury or damage to the instrument and any products connected to it.
To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Use Proper AC Power Line
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by
local country should be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of
the power line. To avoid electric shock, please make sure the
instrument is grounded correctly before connecting its input or output
terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly
If a probe is used, do not connect the ground lead to high voltage since
it has isobaric electric potential as the ground.
Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign
instruction of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please
read the manual carefully to gain more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm)
can reach the product, or else the operator might be exposed to danger
of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate the instrument in an electrostatic discharge protective area
environment to avoid damages induced by static discharge. Always
ground both the internal and external conductors of the cable to release
static before connecting.
Maintain Proper Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase in the instrument’s
temperature, which will eventually damage the instrument. So keep well
ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
Avoid Exposed Circuit or Components
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Do Not Operate Without Covers
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Use Only the Specified Fuse.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry
To avoid the influence of dust and/or moisture in the air, please keep
the surface of the device clean and dry.
Do Not Operate in Humid Conditions
In order to avoid short circuiting to the interior of the device or electric
shock, please do not operate the instrument in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
In order to avoid damage to the device or personal injury, it is important
to operate the device away from an explosive atmosphere.
