Responsibility Of The Operator; General Hazard - Ametek 5000 Series Quick Start Manual And Safety Instructions

AMETEK CTS
Do Not Remove Covers or Panels
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the generators without panels and covers.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Environment
Never apply power to a connector which is not specified for that particular voltage/current.
1.3.

Responsibility of the operator

These operating instructions form an essential part of the equipment and must be available to the operator at all
times. The user must obey all safety instructions and warnings.
CAUTION: The purpose of this instrument is the generation of defined interferences signals
for EMI immunity testing. Depending on the arrangement of the test rig, the configuration,
the cabling and the properties of the EUT itself, a significant amount of electromagnetic
radiation may result that could also affect other equipment and systems.
The equipment is designed to operate in industrial environment. For operating in other or
sensitive environment, such as light industry, airport area..., the user may use a shielded
room for operate.
CAUTION
The user himself or herself is ultimately responsible for the correct and controlled operation
of the rig. In case of doubt, the tests should be carried out in a Faraday cage.
1.4.

General hazard

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.
WARNING: The generators and their accessories operate at high voltages.
Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must
use extreme caution when servicing this equipment.
Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis
WARNING
ground.
The design of external insulation must be such that it exceeds the maximum impulse
voltages of the generator.
Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in impulse generators, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Unit or Power Rack input connector or
chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be
grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.
The user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical
circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open
cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.
Neither AMETEK CTS GmbH, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for
personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment
and accessories.
CAUTION: Personnel fitted with a heart pacemaker must neither operate the
instrument nor approach the test setup while a test is being executed.
