Failure to ground the analyzer properly can result in personal
WARNING
injury, as well as analyzer damage.
Before turning on the analyzer, connect a three-wire power
cable with a standard IEC 320-C13 (CEE 22-V) inlet plug to the
analyzer power receptacle. The power cable outlet plug must be
inserted into a power-line outlet socket that has a protective
earth-contact. DO NOT defeat the earth-grounding protection
by using an extension cable, power cable, or autotransformer
without a protective ground conductor.
If you are using an autotransformer, make sure its common
terminal is connected to the protective ground conductor of its
power-source outlet socket.
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective
WARNING
earthing ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains
plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a
protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective
conductor, inside or outside the instrument, is likely to make
the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose

dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all voltage
sources while it is being opened.
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel
