10.1 Safety notes
Acqiris SA240P User's Manual
85
Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body
must ensure that operators are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In
some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product operators in these
circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is
capable of operating at or above 1000 V, no conductive part of the circuit may be exposed.
Do not connect cards directly to unlimited power circuits. They are intended to be used with
impedance-limited sources. NEVER connect cards directly to AC mains. When connecting sources
to cards, install protective devices to limit fault current and voltage to the card.
Before operating a card, ensure that the line cord is connected to a properly-grounded power
receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or
breaks before each use.
When installing equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as rack
mounting, a separate main input power disconnect device must be provided in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instruments while power is
applied to the circuit under test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge
any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jumpers, installing or removing ADC
cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test
or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry,
insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
The card and accessories must be used in accordance with its specifications and operating
instructions, or the safety of the equipment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the cards and accessories, as defined in the
specifications and operating information, and as shown on the card or test fixture panels, or ADC
card.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under test.
Safe operation requires the use of a lid interlock.
Cards and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
Any part or component replacement must be done by Acqiris.
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical
shock do not remove covers.
