1. General safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific warnings violates safety standards.
2. The instrument is a Safety Class 1 product with a protective earth terminal. To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical ground through a grounded power cable.
3. Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of fumes or flammable gases.
4. Keep away from live circuits. Operating personnel should not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
5. Do not replace components with the power cable connected. Dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. Always disconnect power, discharge circuits and capacitors, and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
6. Do not service or adjust alone. Ensure another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
7. Safety symbols include:
– Direct current
– Alternating current
– Both direct and alternating current
– Protective earth (ground) terminal
– Caution (refer to accompanying documents)
8. The WARNING sign denotes a hazard that could result in personal injury if not correctly adhered to. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until conditions are fully understood and met.
9. The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard that could result in damage to or destruction of the product if not correctly adhered to. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until conditions are fully understood and met.
