SECTION 2PREPARATIONS

2.1 Environmental Conditions of Installation Site

Do not use and store the instrument in the following locations:
where vibrations are severe.
where it is damp or dusty.
where there is exposure to direct sunlight.
where there is exposure to active gases.
Long-term storage at high temperatures will shorten the life of the internal battery. Store the instrument below normal
room temperature.
Operating temperature range 0 to 50 ˚C
Storage temperature range –20 to 60 ˚C

2.2 Safety Measures

Use the attached power cord to connect the AC power supply. Ground the ground terminal of the power cord or the
frame ground terminal on the rear panel of the instrument.
When changing the fuse, always use a fuse of the same rating. (See the fuse replacement item.)
If the instrument is operated at room temperature after being used or stored for a long time at low temperature, conden-
sation may occur and cause short-circuiting. To prevent this, do not turn the power on until the instrument completely
dry.
