Safety aspects
Read the following operation manual carefully. Pay special attention to both safety and operation details!!!
Observe all of these precautions to ensure your personal safety and to prevent damage to the test equipment.
The generators correspond to Installation Category II (overvoltage category).
Symbols marked on equipment
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Dangerous voltages are present.
Use extreme care. Refer to the manual.
GROUND
Indicates protective earth terminal
Power Mains
The equipment is not intended to operate with a power mains supply. The equipment is designed (depending
the model) to operate with maximum dc voltage up to 250 Vdc between the lines, or between line and ground. A
proper protective ground connection, through the grounding conductor in the power cord of the impulse genera-
tor, is essential for safe system operation.
Safety Ground and grounding the generators
The generators are grounded through the power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a
properly wired receptacle where earth ground has been verified by a qualified service person. Do this before
making connections to the input or output terminals of the test equipment.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of generators are potential shock hazards. This includes
knobs and controls that may appear to be insulators. The equipment
MUST NOT BE USED
if this protection is
impaired.
Use the proper power cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Only use a power cord that is in good condi-
tion.
Use the proper fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your product, with matching type, voltage
rating, and current rating.
Do not remove covers or panels
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the generators without the panels in place or covers.
Do not operate in explosive atmospheres
The generators provide no explosion protection from electrostatic discharges or arcing components. Do not
operate them in an atmosphere of explosive gases around explosive chemicals.
Electric Overload
Never apply a generator's voltage to a connector which is not specified for that voltage range.
Read the Operation Manual of each instrument carefully!
