Safety Information
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair 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 assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
General
This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective earthing) and has
been manufactured and tested according to international safety standards.
Operation
Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the following must
be observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is switched on, all
protective earth terminals, extension cords, auto-transformers, and devices connected to it
must be connected to a protective earth via a ground socket. Any interruption of the
protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious
personal injury. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument
must be made inoperative and be secured against any intended operation.
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type (normal
blow, time delay, and so on) are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the
short-circuiting of fuseholders must be avoided.
Some adjustments described in the manual, are made with power supplied to the instrument,
and protective covers removed. Energy available at many points may, if contacted, result in
personal injury.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage should be
avoided as much as possible. When inevitable, this should be carried out by a skilled person
who is aware of the hazard involved. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless
another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. Do not replace
components with power cable connected.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the instrument.
