SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Safety Considerations
GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety markings
and instructions before operation.
This product is a Safety Class I instrument tpro~ vided with a protective earth terminal).
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the avail- able line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.
SAFETY EARTH GROUND
while protectivecovers areremoved. Energy avail. able at many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has been discon netted from its source ofsupply.
For continued protection against fire hazard, re- place the line fuse(si only with 25OVfuse(s)of the same current rating and type (for example, normal blow, time delay, etc.).Ilo not userepaired fusesor short circuited fuseholders.
An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the main power source to the pro- duct input wiring terminals, power cord, or sup-
plied power cord set.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal will causea potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. (Grounding one conductor of a two conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.) In addition, verify that a common ground exists
between the unit under test and this instrument prior to energizing either unit.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, thcinstrument must bemadeinoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an auto- transformer (for voltage reduction) make sure the common terminal is connected to neutral (that is, the grounded side of the mains supply).
Servicing instructions are for use by service. trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous elec-
tric shock, do not perform any servicing unless
qualified to do so.
Adjustments described in the manual are per- formed with power supplied to the instrument
SAFETY SYMBOLS
