Safety Precautions
Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury
or death or damage to the instrument.
Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
This instrument is a waveform measuring device that monitors and measures electrical
signals. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as a waveform measuring device.
Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
Use the Correct Power Supply
Before connecting the power cord, ensure that the power supply voltage matches the rated
supply voltage of the DL850E/DL850EV and that it is within the maximum rated voltage of the
provided power cord.
Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug
To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by
YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth
terminal. Do not invalidate this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth
grounding. Additionally, do not use the power cord supplied with this instrument with another
instrument.
Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning on the
power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-prong type power cord.
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the
protective earth terminal. Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to the instrument.
Do Not Use When the Protection Functions Are Defective
Before using this instrument, check that the protection functions, such as the protective
grounding and fuse, are working properly. If you suspect a defect, do not use the instrument.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or vapors. Doing so is
extremely dangerous.
Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument
Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the
instrument. The inside of the instrument is dangerous because parts of it have high voltages.
Ground the Instrument before Making External Connections
Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under measurement
or to an external control unit. Before touching a circuit, turn off its power and check that it has
no voltage.
Precautions to Be Taken When Using the DC Power Supply (When using a DL850EV DC
power supply model)
• Make sure to perform protective earth grounding to prevent electric shock.
• Connect the DC power cord after checking that the power switch of the instrument is turned
OFF. If you connect the power cord with the power switch turned ON, sparks may be
emitted and can lead to fire.
