NORMATIVE DOCUMENTS AND DECLARATIONS

While appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity should always be taken,

the user may want to take extra precautions to protect the electronic equipment

against ESD if ESD events are observed in the present environment.

The use of wrist straps

Use an ESD wrist strap whenever you open a chassis, particularly when you will be

handling circuit cards and components. In order to work properly, the wrist strap must

make good contact at both ends (with the user's skin at one end, and with the

chassis at the other).

WARNING

The wrist strap is intended for static control only. It will not reduce or increase your risk of

receiving an electric shock from electrical equipment. Follow the same precautions you

would use without a wrist strap.

WARNING

Wrist straps should only ever be used in situations where no direct power is connected to

the circuit or system being handled.

3.1.2 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

EMC stands for Electromagnetic Compatibility. The overall intention is that electronic

equipment must be able to co-exist with other electronic equipment in its immediate

vicinity and that the electronic equipment does not emit large amounts of electromag-

netic energy. Thus, there are two distinct requirements for electromagnetic compatibil-

ity: emission and immunity.

This instrument generates, accepts and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the operator manual, may cause harmful inter-

ference to other equipment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation.

Immunity test: All immunity tests are done with the failure criterion being a change of

the instrument's control settings. Any of these tests may produce a spurious trigger.

Measurements are not valid during and immediately after the immunity tests.

Whether the instrument causes interference to other equipment can be determined by

turning the instrument on and off. If this instrument does cause minor harmful interfer-

ence to other equipment, the user is encouraged to try reducing the interference by one

or more of the following measures:
