This instruction manual involves operating instruction information, advice and suggestions on the use of the amplifier units, Omniace RA2000 Series, as well as their basic functions. For operating instruction information other than that described herein, please refer to the other instruction manuals attached hereto.
● If anything unusual happens during the use of the equipment, immediately switch off the mainframe of the Omniace RA2000 Series and disconnect it from the power source. ● If you cannot find the cause of the problem, contact our sales representative.
Page 7
● Input signal connection and permissible common mode input voltages First, confirm that the recorder unit of the Omniace RA2000 Series is correctly and securely grounded through the protective grounding terminal, before connecting the equipment with a device to be measured.
Page 8
W ARNING ● Warning against electric shock and permissible input voltage Do not touch, by any means, metal portions of the input section, when a high voltage input signal is being applied, to avoid a risk of electric shock. Also, it is very dangerous to apply an input voltage exceeding the range of permissible input voltages for individual amplifier units, since application of such high voltages would cause equipment failures.
5) Use the original packing box and crating materials, or the equivalent at the minimum, when you transport amplifier units. In addition, when transporting units or parts after removing them that are incorporated with the recorder unit, cover them with antistatic bag or shock-absorbing sheets to protect them from damage due to drop or chock.
