Important safety information
Provide proper
ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions in the manual for
details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.
Slots and open
ings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or
otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into any of the openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location
convenient for v iewing the display and indicators.
Probes and test leads
Before c onnecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the pow er
connector to a properly grounded power outlet.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only
correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude,
and amperage rated probes, t est leads, and adapters for any me asurement.
Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are
using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and
understand:
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference
lead.
The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the
Specifications section of the manual for more information.
WARNING. To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurem ent
or
maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe
tip, or probe reference lead.
C
onnect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement
product before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the
probe reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input.
Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test
before disconnecting the probe from the measurement product.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before
connecting or disconnecting a current probe.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages above the current
probe voltage rating.
