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 95% 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.
