MENTOR 12 USER’S MANUAL SECTION 1: PRODUCT INTRODUCTION – Page 8
Safety considerations
Do not operate this product before carefully reading and understanding this manual, especially the safety
warnings and recommendations. The use of this equipment is reserved to trained personnel only.
DANGER: Never try to use a Mentor 12 that looks damaged, dirty or incomplete. Connecting the unit to a power supply with any
or all of its case’s faces removed is extremely dangerous.
DANGER: If you notice lack of response from the control panel, switch the unit off immediately and refer to technical service.
Otherwise, the power outputs could be left inadvertently activated.
DANGER: Harmful voltage can build up at the unit’s output connectors. Keep this in mind when handling the test leads and other
devices connected to them. Never introduce a non-isolated conductive tool or instrument into the unit’s connectors while the unit is
powered on or connected to the power supply.
CAUTION: Turn the unit ON before cabling anything to the connection’s board. Most input and output connectors in this board are
dynamic and feature self-protecting mechanisms that work only in if the Mentor 12 is powered on. Internal damage may result from
connecting the unit to wrong points when it is powered OFF.
CAUTION: Ensure that your power supply’s characteristics match the product’s supply requirements (voltage 100-260 Vac and
frequency 45-65 Hz) before connection. Use only the supplied power cord to an AC outlet that includes a good EARTH connection.
CAUTION: The equipment should only be serviced after adequate anti-static measures and procedures have been carried out.
WARNING: Keep the ventilation holes clear from any obstruction to avoid over-heating.
WARNING: Use only your finger or a soft pointer to operate the touch panel. Avoid excessive pressures on the touch panel. A
subtle touch should immediately activate the desired action. Do not use abrasive or alcohol-based substances to clean the touch
panel. Use only a soft, lint-free tissue or a special cleaning product for touch panels.
