components inside the instrument. Replacement of components while unit
is connected to power and/or turned on is prohibited.
c) Observe voltage/power requirementsc) Observe voltage/power requirements
Before the instrument is connected with the AC power source, the voltage
of the power source should be the same with the required voltage of the
instrument (a deviation of 10% is allowed). e rated load of the power
socket should not be lower than the requirements of the instrument.
d) e power cord
e instrument should use the power line cord attached to it. If the
power line is destroyed, it must be replaced but not be repaired. e

e openings on this instrument are for ventilation circulation and in
order to avoid over-heat of the instrument body they should not be
blocked or covered. When a single set of instrument is used, the interval
between ventilation opening before and after the instrument and its nearest
object should not be less than 25cm. Also, don’t use the instrument on
loose or soft surface, or the air inlet of instrument bottom might be
blocked. Excessive temperature will impair performance or result in failure
of instrument. is instrument should not be used in location subjected to
direct sun light. e instrument should be kept away from hot gas, oven
and all other heat sources. If the instrument is to be stored for a long time,
the power plug should be withdrawn and the instrument covered with soft
