Handling of plug

(Continued)



CAUTION

◇

Do not insert or
disconnect the power
plug with wet hands.



◇

Be sure to hold and pull the plug when
disconnecting the power cable from the
outlet.

If the cable is pulled improperly, the plug
may be broken, and may result in fire or
electrical shock.



◇

Ensure the grounding pin
is

properly

connected

when

connecting

the

power cable to an AC
outlet.



Connecting Compontents



WARNING

◇

Turn off the power switch and unplug the unit from the AC outlet before connecting the individual
components with connecting cables. Connecting components while the unit power is on increases the
likelihood of electrical shock.



◇

Use this instrument under the condition where humidi

ty is 80% at 31˚C or lower, falling linearly to 50%

at 40˚C.

◇

Main supply voltage fluctuation should not to exceed ±10% the nominal voltage.

◇

Installation categories (Overvoltage Categories) :

ｌｌ

◇

The pollution degree is 2 (according to IEC60664)

Handling

◇

Do not drop the instrument or subject it to any strong shock.

◇

The power cable may be damaged by:



Bending the cable.



Pulling the cable.



Twisting the cable.



Placing the cable under heavy objects.



Catching the cable between objects.
