Safety Summary

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 or operating instructions in the product manuals violates

safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.

Keysight Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply

with these requirements. Product manuals are provided with your instrument

on CD-ROM and/or in printed form. Printed manuals are an option for many

products. Manuals may also be available on the Web. Go to www.keysight.com

and type in your product number in the Search field at the top of the page.

General

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth

terminal). The protective features of this product may be impaired if it is used in

a manner not specified in the operation instructions.

All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this product are Class 1 LEDs as per

IEC 60825-1.

Environment Conditions

This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution

degree 2 environment. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity

of 15 to 85% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters.

Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and

ambient operating temperature range.

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

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be

connected to an electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must be

connected to the ac power mains through a grounded power cable, with the

ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the

power outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or

disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock

hazard that could result in personal injury.

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.
