Safety Instructions
General Precautions
NOTICE Instrument damage caused by disregarding the following precautions!
Any non-compliance with the following precautions may cause damage to the
instrument. Prior to putting the instrument into operation, check the following:
• The covers of the housing are in place and screwed on.
• Vents are not obstructed. Make sure that the air can escape freely through the
vents at the sides. The minimum distance to the wall should therefore be at
least 10 cm.
• The signal levels at the inputs do not exceed permissible limits.
• The outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or incorrectly connected.
This particularly applies to the maximum permissible back-feed at the outputs,
which is specified in the data sheet.
• The ambient temperature must not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.
Please also observe the instructions in the following sections and the general safety
instructions at the beginning of this manual.
Protection against Electrostatics
To avoid damaging the electronic components of the EUT (Equipment Under Test)
due to electrostatic discharge produced by contact, the use of appropriate protective
measures is recommended.
Setting up the Instrument
CAUTION Risk of injury and instrument damage.
Safe operation with support feet!
• Stacked instruments may slip off.
Secure stacked instruments against slipping (e.g. by locking the feet to the
top of the front-panel frame). The feet must be fully folded in or folded out. Only
then a stable position of the instrument and reliable operation can be ensured.
The uniform pressure on the folded-out feet must not exceed 500 N (weight of
instrument and of equipment stacked on top).
• When using the instrument with expanded feet, the feet might collapse and fold
in. Do not shift the instrument with the feet out.
