  • Page 4: Safety Considerations

    Quartzlock E5-MX Precision Frequency Engineering Safety Considerations General This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization before operation. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
  • Page 5: Voltage, Frequency And Power Characteristics

    Quartzlock E5-MX Precision Frequency Engineering Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation. If the instrument is to be energised via an autotransformer (for voltage reduction) makes sure the common terminal is connected to the earthed pole terminal (neutral) of the power source.
