Mounting; Earthing; Dismantling The Instrument; Mains Connection - Philips PM 5326 Instruction Manual

MOUNTING
The instrument may be used in any desired position. With the handle fold down, the instrument may be
used in sloping position; for this purpose press the buttons A of the handle (Fig. 2). Do not position the
instrument on any surface which produces or radiates heat, or in direct sunlight.
EARTHING
Before switching on, the instrument must be earthed in conformity with the local safety regulations.
The mains cable fixed to the instrument includes a protective conductor, which is connected to the
earth contacts of the plug. Thus, when connected to an earthed mains socket, the cabinet of the instru-
ment is consequently connected to the protective earth.
WARNING: Connect the mains cable plug only to a socket with protective earth contacts. This pro-
tection must not be made ineffective, e. g. by using an extension cable without earth
protection!
The circuit earth potential applied to the external contacts of BNC sockets i s connected to the cabinet.
The external contacts of the BNC sockets must not be used to conpect a protective conductor.
