4 Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide
Safety Considerations
Read the information below before using this instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards for design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight
Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.
– BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the correct fuse is installed. See “Fuse Information” in the
E36200 Series User’s Guide for additional details. Ensure the mains
supply voltage fluctuation do not exceed ±10% of the nominal supply
voltage.
– GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earth terminal). To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and
cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must
be connected to the AC power supply mains through a three-conductor
power cable, with the third wire firmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal
will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. If
the instrument is to be energized via an external autotransformer for
voltage reduction, be certain that the autotransformer common terminal
is connected to the neutral (earthed pole) of the AC power lines (supply
mains).
– DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE OR WET
ENVIRONMENTS
Do not operate the device around flammable gases or fumes, vapor, or
wet environments.
