lead) must be connected to the protective ground (earth) terminal of the line
power source. The black or brown cord lead is the live (hot) lead.
To avoid electric shock hazard, operating personnel must not remove the
instrument from the case. Any repair or component replacement must be
performed by qualified service personnel.
The control circuits of the instrument are protected by two mains circuit fuses.
These fuses are replaceable by the operator. To avoid electric shock and fire
hazard, use only the fuse specified in Section 3, Specifications, that is identical in
respect to type, voltage rating and current rating. Refer to the Fuse Replacement
procedure in
the Service section.
WARNING
Before replacing the fuses, disconnect the power input plug from
the live power source.
Megger has made formal safety reviews of the initial design and any subsequent
changes. This procedure is followed for all new products and covers areas in
addition to those included in applicable standards. Regardless of these efforts, it
