■ This instrument is not designed for use in an explosive atmosphere.
■ Only approved accessory items, connectors, adapters, etc. are to be used to ensure safe operation.
■ The setup must offer insulation protection against voltage which is at least equal to the pulse voltage.
■ The pulse voltage must not be able to find its way to ungrounded metallic objects even if the EUT is faulty
or fails.
■ Depending on the type of EUT and especially on its cabling, a considerable amount of interference can
be radiated which could affect nearby systems and radio communication. These environmental interfer-
ence effects to be controlled by the user through the use of suitable measures such as a Faraday cage,
shielded cable runs, etc.
