Safety Considerations
The XFe has been carefully designed so that when used properly you have an
accurate, fast, flexible, and safe instrument.
Information on safety practices is provided with your instrument and operation
manuals. Before using your instrument or accessories, you must thoroughly read
these safety practices.
Electrical hazards
Panels or covers that are retained by fasteners which require the use of a tool for
removal may be opened only by Agilent-trained, Agilent-qualified, or
Agilent-authorized service engineers. Consult the manuals or product labels
supplied with the XFe to determine which parts are operator-accessible.
Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is adequately rated
for the load. The installation must comply with local safety regulations.
WARNING
Observe all relevant safety practices at all times.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Unskilled, improper, or
careless use of this instrument can create shock hazards, fire hazards, or
other hazards which can cause death, serious injury to personnel, or severe
damage to equipment and property.
WARNING
The XFe contains electrical circuits, devices, and components operating at
dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices, and components
can cause death, serious injury, or painful electric shock.
WARNING
Connection of the instrument to an incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of
proper electrical grounding can create a fire hazard or a potentially serious
shock hazard and could seriously damage the instrument and any attached
ancillary equipment.
