1.3 Safe operation
When operating the CIBANO 500 test system and its accessories, observe the following safety
instructions.
1.3.1 Test equipment integrity
► Do not modify, extend, or adapt CIBANO 500 and its accessories.
► Use only the CIBANO 500 original accessories and cables and only use the OMICRON accessories
together with OMICRON devices as described in this manual.
► Operate CIBANO 500 and its accessories only under ambient conditions specified in "Technical data"
in the CIBANO 500 User Manual.
1.3.2 CIBANO 500
► Use only adequately rated power cords.
► Supply CIBANO 500 only from a power outlet with protective earth (PE).
► To run CIBANO 500 at the maximum power level, we recommend mains overcurrent protection with
a 16 A automatic circuit breaker.
► Position the measurement setup so that you can easily disconnect CIBANO 500 from mains.
► Do not use extension cables on a cable reel to prevent overheating of the cord. Instead, run out the
extension cord.
► Do not operate CIBANO 500 without a solid connection to ground of at least 6 mm
2
cross-section.
Ground CIBANO 500 as close as possible to the operator.
► The warning symbol on the side panel of CIBANO 500 (see 3.2.2 "Side panel" on page 11) indicates
dangerous voltage on one of the CIBANO 500 sockets, either from an internal source or from an
external one, for example, from the station battery.
► After booting CIBANO 500 either the red or the green warning light on the front panel should be on.
If after booting both warning lights are on or off, CIBANO 500 might be defective. In this case, do not
use CIBANO 500 and contact your regional OMICRON service center.
► Do not operate CIBANO 500 and its accessories in the presence of explosives, dangerous gases or
vapors.
► If CIBANO 500 or its accessories do not seem to function properly, stop using them and contact your
regional OMICRON service center.
