Safety Summary - NDT Systems NovaScope 5000 User Manual

SAFETY SUMMARY

This summarized safety summary is intended for both operating and service personnel.
WARNING TERMS OF INSTRUMENT
Caution means a personal injury hazard that is not immediately accessible as the
markings are read, or a property/instrument hazard. DANGER means a personal injury
hazard that is immediately accessible as the marking is read.
POWER SOURCE
This NovaScope is intended to operate from an AC power source that supplies either a
nominal 115 VAC to 230 VAC (rms) between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. Before applying AC power, the LINE VOLTAGE must be
within the AC power voltage - otherwise, a safety hazard or equipment damage could
occur.
GROUNDING THE PRODUCT
The NovaScope is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To
avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before making
any connections to the NovaScope input or output terminals. A protective ground
connection, by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for
safe operation.
DANGER ARISING FROM LOSS OF GROUND
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive parts -- including
knobs and controls that may appear to be insulating -- could render a dangerous electric
shock.
USE THE PROPER POWER CORD
Use only the power cord and connector specified for the NovaScope.
Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Read Section 11 for power-cord and connector information.
USE THE PROPER FUSE
To avoid fire hazard, use only a fuse of the correct type, voltage rating and current rating
specified on the back panel of the NovaScope and in Table V.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
To avoid explosion, do not operate the NovaScope in an explosive atmosphere.
REMOVAL OF COVERS OR PANELS
Because of the dangerous high voltages inside the NovaScope, only skilled, authorized
technicians should remove the cover/panels when either setting internal adjustments (see
Section 12) or for servicing. Do not operate the NovaScope without the covers and
panels properly installed.
