4 Keysight 34980A Getting Started Guide
Additional Safety Notices
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings or instructions elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight
Technologies assumes no liability of the customer’s failure to comply with the
requirements.
Refer to the User Guides of the 34980A and relevant modules before using
the equipment.
The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It
disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before other parts of
the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a
LINE switch (disconnecting device). The instrument power cord does not
disconnect or de-energize external circuits connected to the analog bus,
terminal blocks or modules.
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the
assembler of the system.
Dangerous voltage levels capable of causing death, may be present on a
channel. Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting this
instrument. Any voltages greater than 30 Vrms, 42.4 Vpeak and 60 Vdc are
considered hazardous (IEC 61010-1).
