General Safety 

CAUTION:

It is essential that all instructions in this manual be followed to

ensure proper operation of the equipment and safety of operating personnel.

The use of this symbol is used throughout this manual to highlight important

safety issues.  Please pay particular attention to these items.

        Electrical Shock Caution

SMUs are powered with HIGH VOLTAGE.  No operator serviceable parts are

inside.  All servicing is to be performed by qualified personnel.  Each SMU is pro-

vided with a "protective conductor terminal"      which shall be terminated to earth

ground potential (See Electrical Installation).  This product's design complies with

EN61010-1 installation category II and pollution degree 2.

        Hazardous Location Caution

Certain SMUs can be used in Hazardous Locations (See Specifications).

These models shall only be used in applications covered by stated ratings or

those considered non-hazardous.  Failure to comply could result in damage

to personnel and property.  The following must be maintained to assure safe

operation:

1)   Enclosure integrity

- the dimensions of the housing, side covers, 

      cover retention hardware, or through shafts shall not be altered.

2)  Maintenance

- Power to all circuits must be disconnected before con-

     ducting any investigation, setup, or maintenance when in a hazardous 

     atmosphere.

        Mechanical Hazards  

Consider the SMUs weight whenever lifting or moving the instrument.  When

being  serviced  by  authorized  personnel,  extreme  caution  shall  be  taken

whenever power is supplied to a SMU unit and the cable and associated

mechanisms are accessible.  The gear motor has sufficient torque to pinch

fingers between the cable and other mechanical parts.  Particular areas of

danger  include  the  storage  reel,  measuring  wheel,  rollers,  and  take-up

spring assembly.

Electromagnetic Compatibly (EMC)

The SMU was tested and found to comply with the standards listed below.

The SMU should not be used in residential or commercial environments.

Compliance to the EMC standards was demonstrated by means of a test

setup using the following installation methods.

1)

  SMU enclosure was connected to earth ground (protective earth).

2)

  Shielded cable was used to interconnect the RS-485 network (connec-

     tions +D and -D).  The shield drain was connected to (SHD terminal) 

     at each end.
