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.

This product has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 1010,

"Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus," and has been supplied in

a safe condition. This instruction documentation contains information and warnings

which must be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to maintain the

product in a safe condition.

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.

Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the convection

into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient temperature (outside

the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating temperature of the product by

4°C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the

cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced convection must be used.

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.

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.
