General Safety Information
Operation
Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the
following must be observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is
switched on, all protective earth terminals, extension cords, auto-transformers,
and devices connected to it must be connected to a protective earth via a ground
socket. Any interruption of the protective earth grounding will cause a potential
shock hazard that could result in serious personal injury. Whenever it is likely that
the protection has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and
be secured against any intended operation.
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified
type (normal blow, time delay, and so on) are used for replacement. The use of
repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders must be avoided.
Some adjustments described in the manual, are made with power supplied to the
instrument, and protective covers removed. Energy available at many points may,
if contacted, result in personal injury.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage
should be avoided whenever possible. When inevitable, this has to be carried out
by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. Do not attempt internal
service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and
resuscitation, is present. Do not replace components with power cable
connected.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.
Do not install substitute parts or make any unauthorized modification to the
instrument.
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged, even though the
instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply. Dangerous
voltages, capable of causing serious personal injury, are present in this
instrument. Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.
When working with solvents, observe appropriate safety procedures (for
example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the
material handling and safety data sheet by the solvent vendor, especially when
toxic or hazardous solvents are used.
