Safety
Considerations
Before servicing this lightwave converter, familiarize yourself with the safety
markings on the instrument and the safety instructions in this manual. This
instrument has been manufactured and tested according to international
safety standards. To ensure safe operation of the instrument and the personal
safety of the user and service personnel, the cautions and warnings in this
manual must be heeded.
Refer to the summary of safety considerations at the front of this manual. Indi-
vidual chapters also contain detailed safety notation.
W A R N I N G
Failure to ground the lightwave converter properly can result
in personal injury, as well as instrument damage.
Before turning on the lightwave converter, connect a three-
wire power cable with a standard IEC 320-C13 (CEE 22-V)
inlet plug to the lightwave converter power receptacle. The
power cable outlet plug must be inserted into a power-line
outlet socket that has a protective earth-contact. DO NOT
defeat the earth-grounding protection by using an extension
cable, power cable, or autotransformer without a protective
ground conductor.
If you are using an autotransformer, make sure its common terminal
is connected to the protective ground conductor of its power-source
outlet socket.
Reliability
Considerations
The lightwave-converter input circuitry can be damaged by power levels that
exceed the maximum safe input-level specifications.
provides the input specifications. To prevent input damage, these specified
levels must not be exceeded.
Protection from
Electrostatic
Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work
station. See
