Electrical safety
The instrument has been designed to protect the operator from potential electrical
hazards. This section describes some recommended electrical safety practices.
Lethal voltages are present at certain points within the instrument.
When the instrument is connected to line power, removing the instrument
covers is likely to expose live parts.
Even when the power switch is set to off, high voltages can still be present –
capacitors within the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has
been disconnected from all voltage sources.
The instrument must be correctly connected to a suitable electrical supply. The
supply must have a correctly installed protective conductor (earth ground) and
must be installed or checked by a qualified electrician before connecting the
instrument.
Any interruption of the protective conductor (earth ground) inside or outside
the instrument, or disconnection of the protective conductor terminal is likely
to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption of the protective conductor is prohibited
Ensure that the electricity supply inlets on the instrument are not
obstructed, i.e. leave a gap to allow easy disconnection from the electricity
supply.
When working with the instrument:
Connect the instrument to a correctly installed line power outlet that has a
protective conductor connection (earth ground).
Do not operate the instrument with any covers or internal parts
removed.
Do not attempt to make internal adjustments or replacements except as
directed in the manuals.
Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources before opening it for any
adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. If the opened instrument
must be operated for further adjustment, maintenance or repair, this must
only
be done by your supplier’s Service Engineer.
Whenever it is possible that the instrument is no longer electrically safe
for use, make the instrument inoperative and secure it against any
unauthorised or unintentional operation. The electrical safety of the
instrument is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument:
-
Shows visible damage
-
Has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions
