2.4.4 Overvoltage/current protection
All signal inputs are protected against overloads and transients. Exceeding the limits
statedinthespecications,particularlywhenconnectedtopotentiallyhigh-energy
sources, can cause severe damage that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Do not remove covers. Refer to qualiîž’ed individuals for servicing.
The covers protect the user from live parts and should only be removed by suitably
qualiedpersonnelformaintenanceandrepairpurposes.
The instrument must not be operated with the covers removed.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
2.4.5 Isolation
For input channels with plastic BNCs (galvanically isolated from the chassis), the input con-
ductors including the BNC shell may carry hazardous voltages. Only appropriate insulated
BNC connectors should be used.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the safety of any accessories used with the
current transducer, such as probes.
Even low voltage inputs may contain high voltage fast transients (spikes), which could
damage the input. For this reason it is not safe, for instance, to make direct connections to
an AC line supply, unless speciîž’cally stated otherwise for the speciîž’c input.
