Note

•  When rack-mounting the instrument, allow at least 10 cm of space around the inlet and 

exhaust holes to prevent internal heating.

•  Make sure to provide adequate support from the bottom of the instrument. The support 

should not block the inlet and exhaust holes.

Do Not Install the Instrument in the Following Places

• Outdoors.
•  Dangerous locations where flammable or explosive gasses, vapors, or dust is present, 

or where the possibility of explosions or fires exists. 

•  In direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•  Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas is present.
•   Location where mechanical vibration is high.
•  In an unstable place.
•  Where the instrument is exposed to water or other liquids.

General Handling Precautions

•  Do Not Place Anything on Top of the Instrument 

  Never stack instruments or place any other objects on top of the instrument, 

especially those containing water. Doing so can lead to malfunction.

•  Take Proper Care When Carrying the Instrument

  The instrument should always be carried by two people. Hold the instrument by the 

handles on the sides of the case. The instrument weighs approximately 19 kg. Take 
precautions against injuries when carrying it. Also, always turn the power switch 
OFF, remove the power cable, and confirm that no other cables are connected 
before carrying the instrument. 

•  Clean the Instrument Properly

  When removing dirt from the case or operation panel, disconnect the power to the 

circuits under test and the instrument, remove the instrument’s power cord from the 
power outlet, then wipe gently with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use volatile chemicals 
since this might cause discoloring and deformation. 

Operating Environment and Conditions

This instrument complies with the EMC standard under specific operating environment 
and operating conditions. If the installation, wiring, and so on are not appropriate, the 
compliance conditions of the EMC standard may not be met. In such cases, the user will 
be required to take appropriate measures.
