Setting up the product
Always place the product on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the
product facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the
product so that it cannot fall over.
If the product has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to ensure
stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the prod-
uct is moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of
the product, but not an extra load.
If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and
cause injury.
If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity
and stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install
the products from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands
securely. Secure the product so that it cannot fall off the rack.
Connecting to power and grounding
The mains power supply input of the instrument complies with overvoltage cate-
gory II. It has to be connected to a fixed installation used to supply energy-con-
suming equipment such as household appliances and similar loads. Be aware
that electrically powered products have risks, such as electric shock, fire, per-
sonal injury or even death.
Take the following measures for your safety:
●
Do not use an isolating transformer to connect the instrument to the mains
power supply.
●
Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indica-
ted on the product match the available power source. If the power adapter
does not adjust automatically, set the correct value and check the rating of the
fuse.
●
Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with country-
specific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an outlet with protective
conductor terminal.
●
If a product has an exchangeable fuse, its type and characteristics are indica-
ted next to the fuse holder. Before changing the fuse, switch off the instrument
and disconnect it from the power source. How to change the fuse is described
in the product documentation.
