  • Page 231 Legal and Regulatory Information Safety Considerations Before Applying Power Safety Earth Ground Warning Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the system) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. (Grounding one conductor of a two conductor outlet is not sucient protection.) In addition, verify that a common ground exists between the unit under test and the system prior to energizing either unit.
  • Page 232 Legal and Regulatory Information Safety Symbols and Notes Warning The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
