3.1 Usage Precautions
Safety precautions
• Be sure to read through the safety precautions given on page 4 of this manual before starting to
use the instrument.
• Never remove the instrument’s casing. The unit contains extremely hazardous high-voltage
components. Consult your nearest Yokogawa representative (see listing on rear cover) if the
instrument requires maintenance or adjustment.
• If the instrument emits smoke or unusual odors, or in any way behaves abnormally immediately
turn OFF the power switch and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Then consult your
nearest Yokogawa representative for assistance.
• If the cooling fan stops during operation, the instrument will display the error message shown
below. When you see this message, turn OFF the power immediately. The fan (on the rear
panel) may be jammed; check for and remove any obstructions, then restart. If the same error
recurs, turn OFF the power and contact your nearest Yokogawa representative.
• Never rest any objects on the power cord. Keep the cord clear of hot objects at all times. When
unplugging the power cord, pull on the plug area - never pull on the cord itself. If the cord is
damaged, contact your dealer and obtain a replacement. (Quote the part number indicated on
page 2 of this manual.)
Handling Precautions
• Never place liquid-filled containers or other potentially damaging objects on top of the
instrument.
• Avoid subjecting the instrument to vibration and strong impacts, as these can cause hardware
damage. Be especially careful if the instrument is equipped with a floppy disk drive. Also note
that any impact to terminals or connecting cables may cause electrical noise to the output
signal.
• Always keep terminals clear of electrically charged objects. Electrostatic at the terminals may
cause internal damage.
• If you do not plan to use the instrument for an extended period, unplug the power cord.
• If you need to lift and move the instrument, first disconnect the power cord and connecting
cables. Lift and carry by the handle, as shown. The instrument weighs approximately 5kg.
• Never touch the LCD (touch screen) with pointed objects. Contact with sharp objects may
cause damage.
• Never clean plastic parts with benzene or other such solvents, as these may cause discoloration.
To clean the case or panel, wipe lightly with a soft dry cloth.
