Operating Precautions Before Connecting Before turning power on • Before turning the instrument on, make sure the supply voltage matches that indicated on the its power connector. Connection to an improper supply voltage may damage the instrument and present an electrical haz- ard.
Page 12
Operating Precautions Input and Measurement Precautions The maximum input voltage and maximum rated voltage to ground (between the grounds of the input terminals and the instrument, and between inputs of other analog modules) of each input module and exter- nal input terminals are shown below. To avoid risk of electric shock and damage to the instrument, be careful to not exceed these ratings.
