Safety & Warnings
The safety warnings and precautions explicitly present in the manual are as follows:
1. Ground the Instrument: The instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground to minimize shock hazard. The instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied three-conductor AC power cable, which must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Altering the ground connection is not advised as it can lead to electric shock.
2. Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere: The instrument should not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes as it constitutes a safety hazard.
3. Keep Away from Live Circuits: Instrument covers should not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. The power cord should be disconnected before removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed, so power should be disconnected and circuits discharged before touching them.
4. Do Not Service or Adjust Alone: Internal service or adjustment should not be attempted unless another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
5. Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify the Instrument: Substitute parts should not be installed, nor should unauthorized modifications be performed. The instrument should be returned to B&K Precision for service and repair to maintain safety features.
Warnings and cautions in the manual include:
– A warning not to alter the ground connection to prevent electric shock.
– A warning to disconnect the power cord before removing covers to avoid electrical shock hazard.
– A caution to check the rear panel AC line voltage indicator before connecting the line cord to the AC mains, as applying a different line voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. Fuses should be replaced only with those of the specified voltage and current ratings for continued fire protection.
– A caution regarding components that can be damaged by electro-static discharge (ESD), advising proper procedures for handling, storing, and transporting parts and subassemblies containing ESD-sensitive components.
