Terminal Connections; Installation/Measurement Category I; Maintenance And Repair; Moving And Cleaning - Fluke 8508A User Manual

If the power cable plug is to be the accessible disconnect device, the
power cable must not be longer than 3 meters.

Terminal Connections

Make sure that the instrument is correctly grounded (earth ground) via the power cable
before and while any other connection is made.

Installation/Measurement Category I

Measurement and/or guard terminals are designed for connection at Installation or
Measurement Category I.
To avoid electric shock and fire hazard, do not connect the Multimeter
terminals directly to the ac line power, to an ac line power current
transformer, or to any other voltage or current source that may (even
temporarily) exceed the instrument's peak ratings.
To avoid injury or death, do not connect or disconnect signal leads
while they are connected to a hazardous voltage or current source.
Make sure that signal leads are in a safe condition before you handle
them.
This instrument can deliver a lethal electric shock. Never touch any
lead or terminal unless you are absolutely certain that no dangerous
voltage is present.

Maintenance and Repair

For protection against injury and fire hazard, use only manufacturer
supplied parts that are relevant to safety. Perform Safety tests after
replacing any part that is relevant to safety.
Observe all applicable local and/or national safety regulations and rules while performing
any work.
First disconnect the instrument from all signal sources, then from the ac line supply
before removing any cover.
Any adjustment, parts replacement, maintenance or repair should be carried out only by
the manufacturer's authorized service personnel.

Moving and Cleaning

First disconnect the Multimeter from all signal sources, then from the AC line power
before moving or cleaning.
