Agilent Technologies E4991A User manual

Caution

Do not exceed the operating input power, voltage, and current

level and signal type appropriate for the instrument being used, refer to

your instrument's Function Reference.

Electrostatic discharge(ESD) can damage the highly sensitive

microcircuits in your instrument. ESD damage is most likely to occur as

the test fixtures are being connected or disconnected. Protect them from

ESD damage by wearing a grounding strap that provides a high

resistance path to ground. Alternatively, ground yourself to discharge any

static charge built-up by touching the outer shell of any grounded

instrument chassis before touching the test port connectors.

Safety Summary

When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately

terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.

Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales representative or

authorized service company for repair of the instrument. If you continue

to operate without repairing the instrument, there is a potential fire or

shock hazard for the operator.

- Instrument operates abnormally.

- Instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke or a spark-like

light during operation.

- Instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock

during operation.

- Power cable, plug, or receptacle on instrument is damaged.

- Foreign substance or liquid has fallen into the instrument.

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT

• Ground the Instrument

To avoid electric shock, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be grounded with the

supplied power cable’s grounding prong.

• DO NOT Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of inflammable gasses or fumes.

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment clearly constitutes a

safety hazard.

• Keep Away from Live Circuits

Operators must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal

adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace

components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous

voltage levels may remain even after the power cable has been disconnected. To avoid

injuries, always disconnect the power and discharge circuits before touching them.

• DO NOT Service or Adjust the Instrument Alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of

rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

• DO NOT Substitute Parts or Modify the Instrument

To avoid the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or

perform unauthorized modifications to the instrument. Return the instrument to an

Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that

safety features are maintained in operational condition.

• Dangerous Procedure Warnings

Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures

throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.
