Electrical Safety
• Connect the instrument to a power supply line that includes a switch or other means of
disconnection from the electricity supply.
• Only plug the instrument into an electricity-supply socket that is provided with a
protective earth connection.
• When fuses need replacing, use only those with the required current rating and of the
specified type. Do not use makeshift fuses and do not short-circuit fuse holders.
• When the instrument is connected to its electricity supply, terminals may be live and the
removal of covers other than those which can be removed by hand is likely to expose
live parts.
• Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has been
disconnected from all voltage sources.
• The instrument must be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for
any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair.
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective earth conductor inside or outside the
instrument or disconnection of the protective earth terminal can make the
instrument dangerous.
The instrument has an IEC Insulation class I rating for external circuits – only connect
equipment that meets the requirements of IEC 61010-1, IEC 60950 or equivalent standards.
