Safety
This instrument is built in compliance with DIN EN 61010-1 (VDE 0411 part 1),
safety regulations for electrical measuring instruments, control units and Labora-
tory equipment. It has been tested and shipped from the plant in safe condition. It
complies to the regulations of the European standard EN 61010-1 and the inter-
national standard IEC
61010-1.
To maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, you must observe all
instructions and warnings given in this user manual.
Risk of electric shock
Casing and all chassis parts are connected to a protective earth conductor.
It is prohibited to disconnect the earthed protective connection inside or out-
side the instrument.
Risk of electric shock due to exceeding low voltage protection
For the series connection of all output voltages, it is possible to exceed the
low voltage protection. In this case, any contact with live components is life-
threatening. It is assumed that only qualified and trained personnel operate
the power supplies and the connected loads.
