Getting Started Safety Considerations
26 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition
General
This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth
terminal) and has been manufactured and tested according to
international safety standards.
Before operation, you should review the instrument and manual for safety
markings and instructions. You must follow these to ensure safe operation
and to maintain the instrument in safe condition.
Some Agilent 8164B circuits and some Agilent 8166B circuits are powered
whenever the instrument is connected to the AC power source. To
disconnect from the line power, disconnect the power cord either at the
rear power inlet or at the AC line power source (receptacle). One of these
must always be accessible. If the instrument is in a cabinet, it must be
disconnected from the line power by the system’s line power switch.
Operating Environment
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical
tests when there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of
the outer enclosure (covers, panels, and so on).
