General safety
General safety precautions must be followed
when using this LLOYD INSTRUMENTS prod-
uct. Failure to observe precautions and warn-
ings may result in damage to the equipment, or
injury to personnel.
It is understood that safety rules within compa-
nies vary. If a conflict exists between the mate-
rial contained in all LLOYD INSTRUMENTS'
User's Guides and the rules of a company using
a DAVENPORT product, the more stringent rules
should take precedence.

vides no potentially hazardous outputs. Safety
considerations are related to the power connec-
tions and physical mountings.
Electronic and mechanical components housed
within the PET Plus covers are to be serviced by
