Strictly observe the following cautionary notes in order to avoid the risk of injury or death
of personnel or damage to the instrument due to hazards such as electrical shock.
WARNING
•Do Not Remove the Case
Do not remove the case from the instrument or disassemble/modify the
instrument.
For inspection and/or adjustment of the internal assembly, contact the vendor
from which you purchased the instrument.
•Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in a location where any flammable or explosive
gas/vapor is present. It is extremely hazardous to operate it in such an atmo-
sphere.
•Use the Correct Power Supply
Before turning on the instrument, always make sure the voltage of the power
source to be applied matches the instrument’s supply voltage.
•Unplug If Abnormal Behavior Occurs
If the instrument begins to emit smoke, becomes too hot, or gives off an
unusual smell, immediately turn it OFF and disconnect the power cord from
the outlet. Also turn off power to the object under measurement that is con-
nected to the instrument’s input terminals. Never attempt to use the instrument
again. If any such anomalies as noted above occurs, contact the vendor from
which you purchased the instrument.
Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself, as doing so is extremely
dangerous.
•Do Not Damage the Power Cord
•To prevent electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by
YOKOGAWA.
•Do not place any load on the power cord or allow the power cord to come into
contact with any heat source. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet,
hold its plug, rather than holding and pulling the cord itself.
•If the power cord is damaged, contact the vendor from which you purchased
the instrument.
