8. Safety and Maintenance
Chapter 8 discusses rules for the safe operation of the F6150, and several
topics related to maintenance of the unit.
F6150 Rules for Safe Operation
Safe operation of the system requires adherence to the following
guidelines:
• Do not use the F6150 unless a safety ground is connected.
• Do not, for any reason, cut or remove the grounding prong from
the power cord.
• Do not defeat the AC power input source ground connection, and
verify that the power connections have proper hot and neutral
polarity.
• Use the correct electrical line voltage to avoid an electrical short
circuit, overheating and shocks. If in doubt, check the electrical
rating label attached to each unit.
• Always turn the power OFF and disconnect the F6000 from line
power before reaching into the instrument.

OTE
The F6000 contains capacitors capable of storing hazardous voltages
even after the instrument is turned off and the power cord is removed.
Always proceed with caution when reaching into the instrument.
• Never insert metal objects, such as screwdrivers or paper clips,
inside the instrument while power is ON.
• Unplug the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended
period of time, or before cleaning.
• If the instrument is dropped, have it checked by a qualified
service technician before placing it back in service. Dropping the
instrument can disturb the insulation system.
• Do not place the instrument in excessively warm or humid
locations.
• If the instrument is dropped or physically damaged, or if spilled
liquid penetrates the instrument case, return the instrument to
Doble for repair.
