Safety Summary 

 

 

General

 

Safety

 

Precautions

 

 

The following general safety precautions 

must be observed during all phases of 

operation of this instrument. Failure to 

comply with these precautions or with 

specific warnings elsewhere in this manual 

violates safety standards of design, 

manufacture, and intended use of the 

instrument. 
 
Agilent Technologies Inc. assumes no 

liability for the customer's failure to comply 

with these requirements. 

 

Before operation, review the instrument and 

manual for safety markings and instructions. 

You must follow these to ensure safe 

operation and to maintain the instrument in 

safe condition. 
 

Initial Inspection 

 

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If 

there is damage to the container or 

cushioning, keep them until you have 

checked the contents of the shipment for 

completeness and verified the instrument 

both mechanically and electrically. The 

Performance Tests give procedures for 

checking the operation of the instrument. If 

the contents are incomplete, mechanical 

damage or defect is apparent, or if an 

instrument does not pass the operator’s 

checks, notify the nearest Agilent 

Technologies Sales/Service Office. 

 

WARNING

 To avoid hazardous electrical 

shock, do not perform electrical tests when 

there are signs of shipping damage to any 

portion of the outer enclosure (covers, 

panels, etc.).

 
 

 

 

General 

 

This product is a Safety Class 1 product 

(provided with a protective earthing ground 

incorporated in the power cord). The mains 

plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet 

provided with a protective earth contact. 

Any interruption of the protective conductor, 

inside or outside of the instrument, will 

make the instrument dangerous. Intentional 

interruption is prohibited. 

 

Environment Conditions 

 

This instrument is intended for indoor use in 

an installation category II, pollution degree 2 

environment per IEC 61010 Second Edition 

and 664 respectively. It is designed to 

operate within a temperature range of 10 to 

40 °C at a maximum relative humidity of 80% 

for temperatures up to 31 °C, decreasing 

linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 °C at 

an altitude of 2000 meters. 

 

This module can be stored or shipped at 

temperatures between -40°C and +70°C. 

Protect the module from temperature 

extremes that may cause condensation 

within it.

 

 
 

Before Applying Power 

 

Verify that all safety precautions are taken. 

The power cable inlet of the instrument 

serves as a device to disconnect from the 

mains in case of hazard. The instrument 

must be positioned so that the operator can 

easily access the power cable inlet. When 

the instrument is rack mounted the rack 

must be provided with an easily accessible 

mains switch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ground the Instrument 

 

Install the instrument so that the ON / OFF 

switch is readily identifiable and is easily 

reached by the operator. The ON / OFF 

switch is the instrument disconnecting 

device. It disconnects the mains circuits 

from the mains supply before other parts of 

the instrument. Or the detachable power 

cord can be removed from the electrical 

supply. Alternately, an externally installed 

switch or circuit breaker which is readily 

identifiable and is easily reached by the 

operator may be used as a disconnecting 

device. 

 

Do Not Operate in an Explosive 

Atmosphere 

 

Do not operate the instrument in the 

presence of flammable gases or fumes. 
 

 

Do Not Remove the Instrument 

Cover 

 

Operating personnel must not remove 

instrument covers. Component replacement 

and internal adjustments must be made only 

by qualified personnel. 

 

Instruments that appear damaged or 

defective should be made inoperative and 

secured against unintended operation until 

they can be repaired by qualified service 

personnel.
