IMPAIRED SAFETY-PROTECTION

Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the instrument must be turned off and
disconnected from line power. The matter should then be referred to qualified technicians. Safety
protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument fails to perform the intended
measurements or shows visible damage.

GENERAL SATETY INFORMATION

WARNING: Removing the instrument cover or removing parts, except those to which
access can be gained by hand, is likely to expose live parts and accessible
terminals which can be dangerous to live.
The instrument shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened.
Capacitors inside the instrument can hold their charge even if the instrument has been separated
from all voltage sources.
WARNING: Any interruption of the protective ground conductor inside or outside the
instrument, or disconnection of the protective ground terminal, is likely to make
the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Components which are important for the safety of the instrument may only be replaced by
components obtained through your local FLUKE organisation. (See also section 9).
After repair and maintenance in the primary circuit, safety inspection and tests, as mentioned in
section 9 have to be performed.
