Before this instrument is switched on, make sure its primary power circuitry

has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source. Failure to set the ac

power input to the correct voltage could cause damage to the instrument when

the ac power cable is plugged in.

This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution

Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When installing the product in a cabinet, the

convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient

temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating

temperature of the product by 4°C for every 100 watts dissipated in the

cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts,

then forced convection must be used.

Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this instrument.

Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause

instrument damage.

Do not connect ac power until you have verified the line voltage is correct.

Damage to the equipment could result.

This instrument has autoranging line voltage input. Be sure the supply voltage

is within the specified range.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) on or near input connectors can damage circuits

inside the instrument. Repair of damage due to misuse is not covered under

warranty. Before connecting any cable to the electrical input, momentarily

short the center and outer conductors of the cable together. Personnel should

be properly grounded, and should touch the frame of the instrument before

touching any connector.
