SDG1000 Service Manual III
General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid person injury and
prevent damage to the instrument or any products connected to it. To avoid
potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Only qualified technician should perform service procedures
Use Proper Power Line
Use only the special power line of the instrument that approved by local state.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument grounds through the protective terra conductor of the power
line. To avoid electric shock, the ground conductor must be connected to the
earth. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before connect its input
or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Wire correctly
The potential of the signal wire is equal to the earth, so do not connect the
signal wire to a high voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts or
components.
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.
Not Operate with Suspected Failures
If you suspect that there is a damage of the instrument, please let a qualified
service personnel check it.
Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Do not Operate in Wet/Damp conditions
Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Keep the Surface of the Instrument Clean and Dry
