Safety Summary

General Safety Precautions

The following general safety precautions

must be observed during all phases of

operation of this instrument. Failure to

comply with these precautions or with

specific warnings elsewhere in this

manual violates safety standards of

design, manufacture, and intended use of

the instrument.

Agilent Technologies Inc. assumes no

liability for the customer's failure to

comply with these requirements.

Before operation, review the instrument

and manual for safety markings and

instructions. You must follow these to

ensure safe operation and to maintain the

instrument in safe condition.

Initial Inspection

Inspect the shipping container for

damage. If there is damage to the

container or cushioning, keep them until

you have checked the contents of the

shipment for completeness and verified

the instrument both mechanically and

electrically. The Performance Tests give

procedures for checking the operation of

the instrument. If the contents are

incomplete, mechanical damage or defect

is apparent, or if an instrument does not

pass the operator’s checks, notify the

nearest Agilent Technologies

Sales/Service Office.

WARNING To avoid hazardous electrical

shock, do not perform electrical tests

when there are signs of shipping

damage to any portion of the outer

enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).

General

This product is a Safety Class 1 product

(provided with a protective earthing

ground incorporated in the power cord).

The mains plug shall only be inserted in a

socket outlet provided with a protective

earth contact. Any interruption of the

protective conductor, inside or outside of

the instrument, will make the instrument

dangerous. Intentional interruption is

prohibited.

Environment Conditions

This instrument is intended for indoor use

in an installation category II, pollution

degree 2 environment per IEC 61010

Second Edition and 664 respectively. It is

designed to operate within a temperature

range of 10 to 40 °C at a maximum

relative humidity of 80% for temperatures

up to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 50%

relative humidity at 40 °C at an altitude of

2000 meters.

This module can be stored or shipped at

temperatures between -40°C and +70°C.

Protect the module from temperature

extremes that may cause condensation

within it.

Before Applying Power

Verify that all safety precautions are

taken. The power cable inlet of the

instrument serves as a device to

disconnect from the mains in case of

hazard. The instrument must be

positioned so that the operator can easily

access the power cable inlet. When the

instrument is rack mounted the rack must

be provided with an easily accessible

mains switch.

Ground the Instrument

Install the instrument so that the ON /

OFF switch is readily identifiable and is

easily reached by the operator. The ON /

OFF switch is the instrument

disconnecting device. It disconnects the

mains circuits from the mains supply

before other parts of the instrument. Or

the detachable power cord can be

removed from the electrical supply.

Alternately, an externally installed switch

or circuit breaker which is readily

identifiable and is easily reached by the

operator may be used as a disconnecting

device.

Do Not Operate in an

Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the

presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Do Not Remove the

Instrument Cover

Operating personnel must not remove

instrument covers. Component

replacement and internal adjustments

must be made only by qualified

personnel.

Instruments that appear damaged or

defective should be made inoperative and

secured against unintended operation

until they can be repaired by qualified

service personnel.
