Safety Symbols

The following symbol on the instrument and in the documentation

indicates precautions that must be taken to maintain safe operation of the

instrument.

Caution, risk of danger.

The Instruction Documentation Symbol. The product is marked with this

symbol when it is necessary for the user to refer to the instructions in the

supplied documentation.

Alternating current (AC).

This symbol indicates the operating switch for ‘Stand-by’ mode. Note, the

instrument is NOT isolated from the mains when the switch is pressed.

To isolate the instrument, the mains coupler (mains input cord) should be

removed from the power supply.

This symbol indicates the operating switch for ‘On’ mode).

External Protective Earth Terminal.

While this is a Class I product, provided with a protective earthing

conductor in a power cord, an external protective earthing terminal has

also been provided. This terminal is for use where the earthing cannot be

assured. At least an 18AWG earthing conductor should be used in such

an instance, to ground the instrument to an assured earth terminal.

vi E4418B Power Meter User’s Guide

Personal Safety Considerations

This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing ground

incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted in a

socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of

the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument is likely to make

the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited

General Safety Considerations

WARNING

If this instrument is not used as specified, the protection provided by the

equipment could be impaired. This instrument must be used in a normal

condition (in which all means of protection are intact) only.

No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified

personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s)

only with fuses of the same type and rating (for example, normal blow,

time delay, etc.). The use of other fuses or material is prohibited.

WARNING

Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly

grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a

socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.

Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or

outside the instrument or disconnection of the protective earth terminal

can result in personal injury.

CAUTION

Any adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the

instrument with protective covers removed should be performed only by

trained service personnel.
