Safety Precautions
This product is designed to be used by a person with specialized knowledge.
This instrument is an IEC safety class I(provided with terminal for protective earth
grounding). The general safety precautions described herein must be observed during all
phases of operation. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified in this manual,
the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
This manual is an essential part of the product; keep it in a safe place for future
reference. Yokogawa Electric Corporation assumes no liability for the customer’s failure
to comply with these requirements.
The following symbols are used on this instrument.
Danger, Refer to the user's manual.

Safety Precautions
Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury or death or
damage to the instrument.
WARNING
• Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
The optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical
characteristics of light sources and evaluate their performance. Do not use this
instrument for anything other than as an optical measuring instrument.
• Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
• Use the Correct Power Supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the instrument’s rated supply
voltage and that it does not exceed the maximum voltage range of the power
cord to use.
• Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug
To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord
for the instrument. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a
protective earth terminal. Do not disable this protection by using an extension
cord without protective earth grounding.
Further, do not use this power cord with other instruments.
• Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before
turning ON the power. The power cord that you can use for the instrument is a
three-prong cord. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-prong
outlet.
• Do not Impair the Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the
wiring of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazerd.
• Do not Operate with Defective Protective Grounding or Fuse
Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective.
Make sure to check them before operation.
• Reference light source output light
The instrument has a built-in reference light source for alignment adjustment,
and infrared light is always being output from the optical output connector. Never
look into the optical output connector. Infrared light entering the eyes can cause
severe injury and loss of vision.
• Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors.
Operation in such environments constitutes a safety hazard.
• Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument
Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble
or alter the instrument.
Opening the cover is dangerous, because some areas inside the instrument
have high voltages.
• Install or Use the Instrument in Appropriate Locations
• This instrument is designed to be used indoors. Do not install or use it
outdoors.
• Install the instrument so that you can immediately remove the power cord if
an abnormal or dangerous condition occurs.

CAUTION
Operating Environment Limitations
This product is a Class A (for industrial environments) product. Operation of this
product in a residential area may cause radio interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference.
French
AVERTISSEMENT
• Utiliser l’instrument aux seules fins prévues
Cet instrument de mesure optique est prévu pour mesurer les caractéristiques
optiques des sources lumineuses et évaluer leur performance. Ne pas utiliser
cet instrument à d’autres fins que celles de mesure optique.
• Inspecter l’apparence physique
Ne pas utiliser l’instrument si son intégrité physique semble être compromise.
• Vérifier l’alimentation
Assurez-vous que la tension d’alimentation correspond à la tension d’alimentation
nominale de l’appareil et qu’elle ne dépasse pas la plage de tension maximale
du cordon d’alimentation à utiliser.
• Utiliser le cordon d’alimentation et la fiche adaptés
Pour éviter tout risque de choc électrique, utiliser exclusivement le cordon
d’alimentation prévu pour cet instrument. La fiche doit être branchée sur une
prise secteur raccordée à la terre. En cas d’utilisation d’une rallonge, celle-ci
doit être impérativement reliée à la terre. Par ailleurs, ne pas utiliser ce cordon
d’alimentation avec d’autres instruments.
• Brancher la prise de terre
Avant de mettre l’instrument sous tension, penser à brancher la prise de terre
pour éviter tout choc électrique. Le cordon d’alimentation que vous utilisez pour
l’instrument est un cordon à trois broches.
Brancher le cordon d’alimentation sur une prise de courant à trois plots et mise
à la terre.
• Ne pas entraver la mise à la terre de protection
Ne jamais neutraliser le fil de terre interne ou externe, ni débrancher la borne
de mise à la terre. Cela pourrait entraîner un choc électrique ou endommager
l’instrument.
• Ne pas utiliser avec un conducteur de terre ou un fusible défectueux
Ne pas utiliser l’instrument si le conducteur de terre ou le fusible est défectueux.
Vérifier le conducteur de terre et le fusible avant d’utiliser l’instrument.
• Source de lumière de référence
Cet instrument dispose d’une source de lumière de référence intégrée pour
les ajustements d’alignement. La lumière infrarouge est toujours émise depuis
le connecteur de sortie optique. Ne regardez jamais directement dans le
connecteur de sortie optique. La lumière infrarouge risquerait de gravement
vous blesser ou de provoquer une perte de vision.
Safety Precautions

8IM AQ6374-02EN
• Ne pas utiliser dans un environnement explosif
Ne pas utiliser l’instrument en présence de gaz ou de vapeurs inflammables.
Cela pourrait être extrêmement dangereux.
• Ne pas retirer le capot, ni démonter ou modifier l’instrument
Seul le personnel YOKOGAWA qualifié est habilité à retirer le capot et à
démonter ou modifier l’instrument. Certains composants à l’intérieur de
l’instrument sont à haute tension et par conséquent, représentent un danger.
• Installer et utiliser l’instrument aux emplacements appropriés
• Ne pas installer, ni utiliser l’instrument à l’extérieur ou dans des lieux exposés
à la pluie ou à l’eau.
• Installer l’instrument de manière à pourvoir immédiatement le débrancher du
secteur en cas de fonctionnement anormal ou dangereux.
ATTENTION
Limitations relatives à l’environnement opérationnel
Ce produit est un produit de classe A (pour environnements industriels). L’utilisation
de ce produit dans un zone résidentielle peut entraîner une interférence radio que
l’utilisateur sera tenu de rectifier.
