Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all

phases of operation of this instrument. Failure to comply with these

precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates

safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the

instrument. Agilent Technologies Inc. assumes no liability for the

customer's failure to comply with these requirements.

General

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective

earth terminal). The protective features of this product may be impaired

if it is used in a manner not specified in the operation instructions.

All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this product are Class 1 LEDs

as per IEC 60825-1.

Environmental Conditions

This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II,

pollution degree 2 environment. It is designed to operate at a maximum

relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters. Refer to

the specifications tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and

ambient operating temperature range.

Before Applying Power

Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage, the

correct fuse is installed, and all safety precautions are taken. Note the

instrument's external markings described under Safety Symbols on

page 8.

Safety Summary

Ground the Instrument

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be

connected to an electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must

be connected to the ac power mains through a grounded power cable,

with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety

ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective

(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal

will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.

Fuses

Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type

(normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Do not use repaired fuses

or short-circuited fuse holders. To do so could cause a shock or fire

hazard.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or

fumes.

Do Not Remove the Instrument Cover

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component

replacement and internal adjustments must be made only by qualified

service personnel.

Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made

inoperative and secured against unintended operation until they can be

repaired by qualified service personnel.
