Safety Precautions - PeakTech P 1525 Operation Manual

1. Safety Precautions

This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives:
2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to short-
circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims
whatever.

Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.

Prior to connection of the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the available mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.

Connect the mains plug of the equipment only to a mains outlet with earth connection.

Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.

Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to circulate freely
inside.

Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.

Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of knock over
of the container).

Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or destruction
of the equipment).

Do not exceed maximum load ratings of 40 A (P 1525), 30 A (P 1560), 60 A (P 1530) or 20 A (P
1535), otherwise it may damage the power supply.

Never use the power supply for the load requiring higher current than the designed value
otherwise it may damage the power supply.

Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-circuit fuse or fuse
holding.

To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Conduct measuring
works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.

Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.

Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.

Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.

Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.

Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).

Never short the remote sensing terminals.

Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.

Use caution when working with voltages above 35 V DC or 25 V AC. These Voltages pose shock
hazard.

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or
solvents.

The power supply is suitable for indoor use only

Do not operate the power supply before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely as
terminal can carry voltage.

Do not store the power supply in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.

Do not modify the equipment in any way

Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to prevent damaging the
controls at the front.

Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified service
personnel

Measuring instruments don't belong to children hands.
