FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATING ELEMENTS
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Carefully read these operating instructions completely
before operating this instrument. This is necessary to
avoid damage to it, as well as for user-safety.
Only use the instrument for the purpose for which it was
designed.
Only use the instrument in dry rooms in which there is no
risk of explosion.
Before applying mains voltage, ensure that the earth
lead of the experimental set-up is properly connected to
the mains earth lead. The mains plug is only to be
plugged into a mains socket which has an earth lead. Do
not use an extension cable without earth lead, as this
would negate the protective effect.
Check that your mains supply voltage corresponds to
that given on the type plate fixed to the supplied power
supply.
Assemble the experimental set-up in such a way that the
mains switch and/or plug connector of the instrument are
freely accessible. Keep the ventilation slots of the ex-
perimental set-up free of any covering.
Do not attempt to open the instrument.
Take care that no liquids or objects enter in through the
ventilation slots.
Do not connect any other devices to the ripple tank.
Caution: Separate the instrument completely from the
electric mains before loosening, exchanging or removing
any cable connection!
Separate the instrument completely from the mains be-
fore filling or emptying the wave tray!
Longer observation of the wave image under strobo-
scopic illumination can trigger epileptic seizures in en-
dangered people.
Do not stare directly into the glowing LED on purpose.
Attention!
