Safety Information
Safety Information
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".
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.
