Safety Information

Do NOT service or repair this product unless properly qualified.

Servicing should be performed only by a qualified technician or an

authorized Audio Precision distributor.

Do NOT defeat the safety ground connection. This product is designed

to operate only from a 50/60 Hz AC power source (250 V rms maximum)

with an approved three-conductor power cord and safety grounding. Loss

of the protective grounding connection can result in electrical shock hazard

from the accessible conductive surfaces of this product.

For continued fire hazard protection, fuses should be replaced ONLY

with the exact value and type indicated on the rear panel of the instrument

and discussed on page 12 of this manual. The AC voltage selector also

must be set to the same voltage as the nominal power source voltage (100,

120, 230, or 240 V rms) with the appropriate fuses. Different fuses are

required depending on the line voltage.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 1010-1) requires

that measuring circuit terminals used for voltage or current measurement

be marked to indicate their Installation Category. The Installation Category

is defined by IEC 664 and is based on the amplitude of transient or

impulse voltage that can be expected from the AC power distribution

network. This product is classified as INSTALLATION CATEGORY II,

abbreviated “CAT II” on the instrument front panel.

Do NOT substitute parts or make any modifications without the written

approval of Audio Precision. Doing so may create safety hazards.

This product is for indoor use—pollution degree 2.

Safety Symbols

The following symbols may be marked on the panels or covers of

equipment or modules, and are used in this manual:

WARNING!—This symbol alerts you to a potentially hazardous

condition, such as the presence of dangerous voltage that could pose a risk

of electrical shock. Refer to the accompanying warning label or tag, and

exercise extreme caution.

ATTENTION!—This symbol alerts you to important operating

considerations or a potential operating condition that could damage

equipment. If you see this marked on equipment, refer to the Operator’s

Manual or User’s Manual for precautionary instructions.

FUNCTIONAL EARTH TERMINAL—A terminal marked with this

symbol is electrically connected to a reference point of a measuring circuit

or output and is intended to be earthed for any functional purpose other

than safety.

PROTECTIVE EARTH TERMINAL—A terminal marked with this

symbol is bonded to conductive parts of the instrument and is intended to

be connected to an external protective earthing system.

Disclaimer

Audio Precision cautions against using their products in a manner not

specified by the manufacturer. To do otherwise may void any warranties,

damage equipment, or pose a safety risk to personnel.
