HIGH-VOLTAGE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: This instrument provides output voltages as high as ±3000 Volts, so
extreme caution must be employed when using this instrument. The instrument should
only be used by individuals who are thoroughly skilled in high voltage laboratory
techniques. The following precaution should always be observed:
1. Keep exposed high-voltage wiring to an absolute minimum.
2. Wherever possible, use shielded connectors and cabling.
3. Connect and disconnect loads and cables only when the instrument is turned off.
4. Keep in mind that all cables, connectors, oscilloscope probes, and loads must
have an appropriate voltage rating.
5. Do not attempt any repairs on the instrument, beyond the fuse replacement
procedures described in this manual. Contact Avtech technical support (see page
2 for contact information) if the instrument requires servicing.
