Safety Notices

This guide uses warnings and cautions to denote hazards.

WARNING Warning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure

which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in

injury or loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a warning note until

the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

CAUTION Caution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not

correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or

destruction of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until

the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

NOTE Note calls out special information for the user’s attention. It provides

operational information or additional instructions of which the user

should be aware.

Safety Symbols

The following symbols on the instrument and in the manual indicate

precautions which must be taken to maintain safe operation of the

instrument.

Table 1 Safety Symbols

The Instruction Documentation Symbol. The product is

marked with this symbol when it is necessary for the

user to refer to the instructions in the supplied

documentation.

This symbol indicates that a device, or part of a device,

may be susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD)

which can result in damage to the product. Observe

ESD precautions given on the product, or its user

documentation, when handling equipment bearing this

mark.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This product conforms with the protection requirements of European

Council Directive 89/336/EEC for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

The conformity assessment requirements have been met using the

technical Construction file route to compliance, using EMC test

specifications EN 55011:1991 (Group 1, Class A) and EN 50082-1:1992.

In order to preserve the EMC performance of the product, any cable

which becomes worn or damaged must be replaced with the same type

and specification. See the Declaration of Conformity on page vi.

Radio-Frequency Electromagnetic Field

Immunity

When a 3 Vm-1 radio-frequency electromagnetic field is applied to the

Smart Noise Source according to IEC 61000-4-3:1995, degradation of

performance may be observed. When the frequency of the incident field

falls within the bandwidth of a measured noise figure or gain, the values

displayed will deviate from those expected. This phenomenon will only

affect that specific frequency, and the SNS will continue to perform to

specification at all other frequency sample points.

The NFA may be unable to calibrate a chosen frequency sample point, if

the frequency matches that of an incident electromagnetic field.
