SSA3000X Series Spectrum Analyzer
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 specied.
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 re 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.
General
Safety
Summary
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 increasing of 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.

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 Wet 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.
