Specific
Precautions
Observe all of these precautions to ensure your personal safety and to
prevent damage to the DM2510 or connected equipment .
Power
Source - The
DM2510
power source
must not apply
more
than 250 V rms between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground . A protective ground connection ,
through
the
grounding
conductor in the power
cord , is
essential for
safe
system
operation .
Grounding the
Digital
Programmable
Multimeter
- The
DM2510 is grounded through the power cord . To avoid electric shock ,
plug
the power
cord into a
properly wired
receptacle where
a qualified
service person has verified earth ground . Do this before making
connections to the input or output terminals of the DM2510 .
Without the protective ground connection , all parts of the DM2510 are
potential shock hazards . This includes knobs and controls that may
appear
to
be
insulators
.
Use
the
Proper
Power
Cord Use only the power cord and
connector specified for your product . Use only a power cord that is in
good
condition
.
Use the
Proper
Fuse
To avoid fire hazard , use only the fuse
specified
in the
Selecting the
Fuse
section or one
that is
identical in
type
,
voltage
rating
,
and current
rating
.
Do Not
Remove Covers or
Panels
-
To avoid
personal
injury ,
do not operate the DM2510 without the panels or covers in place .
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres - The DM2510
provides no
explosion protection from
static
discharges or arcing
components . Do
not
operate the
DM2510
in
an atmosphere
of explo
sive
gasses
.
Electric Overload
DM2510 that is outside the range specified for that connector .
...
Never apply a voltage to a connector on the
