Safety Information
SAFETY SYMBOLS
The following symbols appear on the DA18000 Differential Amplifier or in this manual and
alert the customer to important safety considerations.
Refer to the accompanying information or document to protect against
personal injury or damage to the instrument.
The CAUTION sign indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice or condition, which, if not followed, could possibly
cause damage to the equipment. If a CAUTION is indicated, do not pro-
ceed until its conditions are fully understood and met.

The ESD sign indicates a potential hazard. It calls attention to the sus-
ceptibility of the equipment to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) induced
damage if anti-static measures are not taken.
OPERATOR SAFETY
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to the probe or any products connected to it,
review the following safety precautions. To avoid potential hazards, use the probe only as
specified.
To avoid damage to the amplifier or personal injury, comply with the
following:
ESD Sensitive: The amplifier tips of the DA18000 amplifier are sensi-
tive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To avoid causing damage to the
amplifier, always follow anti-static procedures (wear wrist strap, etc.)
when using or handling the amplifier.
Connect amplifier to the measurement instrument before connecting
the probe test leads to a circuit/signal being tested.
Using the amplifier and/or the oscilloscope it is connected to in a man-
ner other than that specified may impair their protection mechanisms.
Do not apply a voltage to any input that exceeds the maximum rating of
that input. (Section 9, Specifications).
