Safety
This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided
with terminal for protective earthing). Before
applying power, verify that the correct safety
precautions are taken (see the following
warnings). In addition, note the external
markings on the instrument that are
described under Safety Symbols. Do not
operate the instrument with its covers
removed. Replace fuse only with specified
type.
General Safety and Warranty
Warning
Before turning on the instrument, you must
connect the protective earth terminal of the
instrument to the protective earth conductor
of the (mains) power cord. The mains plug
must only be inserted in a socket outlet with
a protective earth contact. Do not negate the
protective action by using an extension
power cord without a protective grounding
conductor. Grounding one conductor of a
two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protec-
tion.
Service instructions are for trained service
personnel. To avoid dangerous electric
shock, do not perform any service unless
qualified to do so. Do not attempt internal
service or adjustment unless another person,
capable of rendering first aid and resuscita-
tion, is present.
If you energize this instrument using an
auto-transformer (for voltage reduction)
make sure that the common terminal is con-
nected to the earth terminal of the power
source.
Whenever it is likely that the ground protec-
tion is impaired, you must make the instru-
ment inoperative and secure it against any
unintended operation.
Do not operate the instrument in the pres-
ence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation
of any electrical instrument in such an envi-
ronment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modification to the instrument.
Capacitors inside the instrument may retain a
charge even if the instrument is disconnected
from its source of supply.
