Safety Notices - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

Safety Notices

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings or instructions
elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the
instrument. Keysight Technologies assumes no liability of the customer's failure to comply with the
requirements.
General
Do not use this product in any manner not specified by the manufacturer. The protective
features of this product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in the
operating instructions.
Environmental Conditions
Never use the instrument outside of the specified environmental conditions described in
the Environmental Characteristics
Ground the Instrument
This product is provided with protective earth terminals. To minimize shock hazard, the
instrument must be connected to the AC mains through a grounded power cable, with
the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power
outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in injury
or death.
Load Connections
Power supplies can output high currents and high voltages. Make sure that the load or
device under test can safely handle the output current and voltage. Also, make sure
that the connection leads can safely withstand the expected currents and are insulated
for the expected voltages.
Power supply outputs may be connected so as to float relative to earth ground.
Isolation or floating voltage ratings are indicated on the instrument, near the output
connectors (see below). Do not float the power supply output on the line-voltage
mains. Observe all safety markings and protection limits.
