Safety & Warnings
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of the instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in the manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. B&K Precision assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements. Verify that all safety precautions are taken. Note the instrument’s external markings described under “Safety Symbols”.
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it is provided with a protective earth terminal. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC line power through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Note: 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 the instrument in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of fumes or flammable gases. Keep away from live circuits. Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made only by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries always disconnect power, discharge circuits and capacitors, and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
Do not service or adjust alone. Do not try to perform internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
