Safety Requirements | Safety Summary |
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are taken.
The power cable inlet of the instrument is used to disconnect the instrument from the mains in case of hazard. The instrument must be positioned so that the operator can easily access the power cable inlet.
When the instrument is mounted in a rack, the rack must be provided with an easily accessible mains switch.
Ground the Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes.
Do not Remove the Instrument Cover
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made only by qualified personnel.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.
