Laser Safety Information
Class 1 Laser product according IEC60825-1 (2007).
ESD Sensitive Device
All front-panel connectors of the M8121A are sensitive to Electrostatic discharge (ESD).
There are also several exposed components on the PCAs, on both sides of M8121A, which
can be touched accidentally while handling the unit and can risk damage to the
instrument, due to ESD. It is recommended to operate the instrument in an electrostatic
safe environment. There is a risk of instrument malfunction when touching a connector or
side components. Please follow this instruction described in the “ESD Protection” section
under “M8121A Maintenance”.
Environment Conditions
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2
environment. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C – 40 °C
(32 °F – 105 °F) at a maximum relative humidity (non-condensing) of 95% up to 40 °C
and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters.
This module can be stored or shipped at temperatures between -40 °C and +70 °C.
Protect the module from temperature extremes that may cause condensation within it.
Before Applying Power Verify that all safety precautions are taken. The power cable inlet of the instrument serves
as a device to disconnect from the mains in case of hazard. The instrument must be
positioned so that the operator can easily access the power cable inlet. When the
instrument is rack mounted the rack must be provided with an easily accessible mains
switch.
Line Power Requirements
The Keysight M8121A operates when installed in a Keysight AXIe mainframe.
Do Not Operate in an
Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Do Not Remove the
Instrument Cover
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made only by qualified personnel.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured
against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.
Ground the Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an
electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power
mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a
potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
