P50 Agile P153    Chapter 2 - Safety Information 
 
 
 
Caution: 
Disconnect power before disassembling. Disassembly of the equipment 
may expose sensitive electronic circuitry.    Take suitable precautions 
against electrostatic voltage discharge (ESD) to avoid damage to the 
equipment. 
 
Warning: 
NEVER look into optical fibres or optical output connections. Always use 
optical power meters to determine operation or signal level.   
 
Warning: 
Testing may leave capacitors charged to dangerous voltage levels. 
Discharge capacitors by reducing test voltages to zero before 
disconnecting test leads. 
 
Caution: 
Operate the equipment within the specified electrical and environmental 
limits. 
 
Caution:   
Before cleaning the equipment, ensure that no connections are energised. 
Use a lint free cloth dampened with clean water. 
Note: 
Contact fingers of test plugs are normally protected by petroleum jelly, which should not be removed. 
 
 
3.3  FUSING REQUIREMENTS 
 
 
Caution: 
Digital input circuits should be protected by a high rupture capacity NIT or 
TIA fuse with maximum rating of 16 A. for safety reasons, current 
transformer circuits must never be fused. Other circuits should be 
appropriately fused to protect the wire used. 
 
Warning:: 
CTs must NOT be fused since open circuiting them may produce lethal 
hazardous voltages
