Overvoltage/current protection

All signal inputs are protected against overloads and transients. Exceeding the
limits stated in the specifications, particularly when connected to potentially
high-energy sources, can cause severe damage that is not covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
WARNING
Do not remove covers. Refer for servicing to qualified individuals.
The covers protect the user from live parts and should only be removed by
suitably qualified personnel for maintenance and repair purposes.
The instrument must not be operated with the covers removed.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.
2.5.4

Isolation

CAUTION
For input channels with plastic BNCs (galvanically isolated from the
chassis), the input conductors including the BNC shell may carry
hazardous voltages. Only appropriate insulated BNC connectors should
be used.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the safety of any accessories, such
as probes, used with the instrument.
CAUTION
Even low voltage inputs may contain high voltage fast transients (spikes),
which could damage the input. For this reason it is not safe, for instance,
to make direct connections to an AC line supply, unless specifically
stated otherwise for the specific input.
