Safety Summary
General Safety Precautions
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.
Before operation, review the instrument
and manual for safety markings and
instructions. You must follow these to
ensure safe operation and to maintain the
instrument in safe condition.
Initial Inspection
Inspect the shipping container for
damage. If there is damage to the
container or cushioning, keep them until
you have checked the contents of the
shipment for completeness and verified
the instrument both mechanically and
electrically. The Performance Tests give
procedures for checking the operation of
the instrument. If the contents are
incomplete, mechanical damage or defect
is apparent, or if an instrument does not
pass the operator’s checks, notify the
nearest Agilent Technologies
Sales/Service Office.
WARNING To avoid hazardous electrical
shock, do not perform electrical tests
when there are signs of shipping
damage to any portion of the outer
enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
General
This product is a Safety Class 1 product
(provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord).
The mains plug shall only be inserted in a
socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. Any interruption of the
protective conductor, inside or outside of
the instrument, will make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
Environment Conditions
This instrument is intended for indoor use
in an installation category II, pollution
degree 2 environment per IEC 61010
Second Edition and 664 respectively. It is
designed to operate within a temperature
range of 10 to 40 °C at a maximum
relative humidity of 80% for temperatures
up to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 50%
relative humidity at 40 °C at an altitude of
2000 meters.
This module can be stored or shipped at
temperatures between -40°C and +70°C.
Protect the module from temperature
extremes that may cause condensation
within it.
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are
taken. The power cable inlet of the
instrument serves as a device to
disconnect from the mains in case of
hazard. The instrument must be
positioned so that the operator can easily
access the power cable inlet. When the
instrument is rack mounted the rack must
be provided with an easily accessible
mains switch.
Ground the Instrument
Install the instrument so that the ON /
OFF switch is readily identifiable and is
easily reached by the operator. The ON /
OFF switch is the instrument
disconnecting device. It disconnects the
mains circuits from the mains supply
before other parts of the instrument. Or
the detachable power cord can be
removed from the electrical supply.
Alternately, an externally installed switch
or circuit breaker which is readily
identifiable and is easily reached by the
operator may be used as a disconnecting
device.
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
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.
