1.1. Safety Precautions
1) Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not
limited to, the following items:
a) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have been defeated during servicing
i) Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician and the customer. Correctly replace all missing
protective shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.
ii) When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective
devices, including, but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish papers, adjustment and
compartment covers/shields, and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this instrument or permit
it to be operated without all protective devices correctly installed and functioning.
b) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which adults or children might be able to insert their fingers and
contact a hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation
slots, and an improperly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
c) Leakage Current Hot Check — With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a
230V(220V ~ 240V) AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.)
Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standard Institute (ANSI)
C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1270 (40.7). With the instrument’s
AC switch first in the ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal
water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal cabinets,
screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical
return path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.
Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See
Any measurements not within the limits specified herein indicate a potential shock hazard that must be eliminated
before returning the instrument to the customer.
