remote operation.
Use caution when working near bare con-
ductors or bus bars. Accidental contact with
a conductor may cause electrical shock. At
dry locations use caution when working with
voltages that exceed 33 V AC and 46 V peak
or 70 V DC, such signals pose a shock hazard.
At wet locations, use caution when work-
ing with voltages that exceed 16 V AC and
22 V peak or 35 V DC. Follow the local safety
regulations.
4] Grounding (Earthing).
Single ground system. This equipment can
be used only in electrical systems with single
ground.
The user must verify before connecting this
unit to power, that High Voltage Ground
and Low Voltage Protective Ground create
a single protective ground with no measur-
able voltage potential existing between
these ground systems. If a voltage potential
is found between the ground systems please
consult local safety regulations.
Mains cord protective conductor. The instru-
ment is equipped with a power cord with
integral safety ground pin. Do not defeat the
safety ground in any manner. The equipment
