This instrument is an INDOOR USE product.
This instrument complies with INSTALLATION CATEGORY II for mains input and
INSTALLATION CATEGORY I for measurement input terminals, and POLLUTION DEGREE 2
defined in IEC 61010-1.
If an instrument is marked CAT I (IEC Measurement Category I), or it is not marked with a
measurement category, its measurement terminals must not be connected to
line-voltage mains.
Safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the assembler of
the system.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage of up to the instrument’s maximum voltage may appear at High Force,
Guard, and High Sense terminals if Interlock terminal is closed. Open the Interlock
terminal when the High Force, Guard, and High Sense terminals are accessible. Voltage
applied to the terminals will be limited up to ±42 V.
Do not work the interlock function intentionally in order to bring the output voltage to the
safe level. While the high voltage indicator is lit, the dangerous voltage by the output
voltage or the residual charge appears on the measurement terminal.
