XWWARNING

Use the proper fuse. To avoid fire hazard, for fuse replacement use only a 1/2 ampere, 250 V time delay line fuse.

DC POWER SOURCE

The device may also be operated from a 9 V to 45 V dc power source when either the rear panel ground binding post or the power cord grounding conductor is connected properly. The input is protected by a 4 ampere fuse internal to the device. This fuse should only be replaced by a qualified Fluke technician.

GROUNDING THE DEVICE

The device utilizes controlled overvoltage techniques that require the device to be grounded whenever normal mode or common mode ac voltages or transient voltages may occur. The enclosure must be grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord, or if operated on battery with the power cord unplugged, through the rear panel ground binding post.

USE THE PROPER POWER CORD

Use only the power cord and connector appropriate for the voltage and plug configuration in your country.

Use only a power cord that is in good condition.

Refer power cord and connector changes to qualified service personnel.

XWWARNING

To avoid possible electric shock or damage to the device:

Read manual before operating.

Do not position device so that air flow through side vents is restricted.

Do not use in a manner not specified in this manual or safety protection may be impaired.

Disconnect power cord and ALL other inputs before replacing a fuse.

Position the device where power cord can be disconnected.

Do not exceed maximum voltages.
