Safety
This apparatus has been designed
and tested in accordance with
IEC Publication 1010, Safety
Requirements for Measuring
Apparatus, and has been supplied
in a safe condition. This is a
Safety Class I instrument
(provided with terminal for
protective earthing). Before
applying power, verify that the
correct safety precautions are
taken (see the following
warnings). In addition, note the
external markings on the
instrument that are described
under "Safety Symbols."
Warning
• Before turning on the
instrument, you must connect the
protective earth terminal of the
instrument to the protective
conductor of the (mains) power
cord. The mains plug shall only be
inserted in a socket outlet
provided with a protective earth
contact. You must not negate the
protective action by using an
extension cord (power cable)
without a protective conductor
(grounding). Grounding one
conductor of a two-conductor
outlet is not sufficient protection.
• Only fuses with the required
rated current, voltage, and
specified type (normal blow, time
delay, etc.) should be used. Do
not use repaired fuses or short-
circuited fuseholders. To do so
could cause a shock of fire hazard.
• Service instructions are for
trained service personnel. To
avoid dangerous electric shock,
do not perform any service unless
qualified to do so. Do not attempt
internal service or adjustment
unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and
resuscitation, is present.
• If you energize this instrument
by an auto transformer (for
voltage reduction), make sure the
common terminal is connected to
the earth terminal of the power
source.
• Whenever it is likely that the
ground protection is impaired,
you must make the instrument
inoperative and secure it against
any unintended operation.
• Do not operate the instrument
in the presence of flammable
gasses or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an
environment constitutes a definite
safety hazard.
• Do not install substitute parts or
perform any unauthorized
modification to the instrument.
• Capacitors inside the
instrument may retain a charge
even if the instrument is
disconnected from its source of
supply.
