Safety Considerations

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Agilent
Technologies Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with
these requirements.
General This is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth
terminal) and has been manufactured and tested according to international safety
standards.
Before operation, you should review the instrument and manual for safety
markings and instructions. You must follow these to ensure safe operation and to
maintain the instrument in safe condition.
Some Agilent 8164A circuits and some Agilent 8166A circuits are powered
whenever the instrument is connected to the AC power source. To disconnect
from the line power, disconnect the power cord either at the rear power inlet or at
the AC line power source (receptacle). One of these must always be accessible. If
the instrument is in a cabinet, it must be disconnected from the line power by the
system's line power switch.
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical tests when there
are signs of shipping damage to any portion of the outer enclosure (covers,
panels, and so on).

Line Power Requirements

The Agilent 8163A Lightwave Multimeter can operate from the single-phase AC
power source that supplies between 100 V and 240 V at a frequency in the range
50 to 60 Hz. The maximum power consumption is 120 VA with all options
installed.
The Agilent 8164A Lightwave Measurement System can operate from any
single-phase AC power source that supplies between 100 V and 240 V at a
frequency in the range from 50 to 60 Hz. The maximum power consumption is
270 VA with all options installed.
The Agilent 8166A Lightwave Multi-Channel System can operate from any
single-phase AC power source that supplies between 100 V and 240 V at a
frequency in the range from 50 to 60 Hz. The maximum power consumption is
450 VA with all options installed.
