Ground the Instrument
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). To minimize
shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical 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. Note: 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.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers except as instructed in this Guide for
installing or removing electronic load modules. Component replacement and internal adjustments
must be made only by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with power cable
connected. Under certain conditions dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable
removed. To avoid injuries always disconnect power, discharge circuits, and remove external
voltage sources before touching components.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not try to do some internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering
first aid resuscitation is present.
