GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

 

 

This is Safety Class I instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument

 

 

chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The power

 

 

terminal and the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical

 

 

Commission (IEC) safety standards.

 

• DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

 

 

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

 

 

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a

 

 

definite safety hazard.

 

• KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

 

 

Operation personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component

 

 

replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified

 

 

maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable

 

 

connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even

 

 

with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power

 

 

and discharge circuits before touching them.

 

• DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

 

 

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable

 

 

of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

 

• DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT

 

 

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install

 

 

substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument.

 

 

Return the instrument to a Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for

 

 

services and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

 

•

DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS

 

 

Warnings, such as example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures

 

 

throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be

 

 

followed.

 

 

WARNING

Dangerous Voltage, capable of causing death, are present in this instrument.
