This instrument contains one or more cooling fans. For continued safe
operation of the instrument, the air inlet and exhaust openings for
these fans must not be blocked nor must accumulated dust or other
debris be allowed to reduce air flow. Maintain at least 25 mm clearance
around the sides of the instrument that contain air inlet and exhaust
ports. If mounted in a rack, position power devices in the rack above the
instrument to minimize instrument heating while rack mounted. Do not
continue to operate the instrument if you cannot verify the fan is
operating (note some fans may have intermittent duty cycles). Do not
insert any object into the fan's inlet or outlet.
Use correctly sized wires
To connect a load to the power supply, use a wire diameter large
enough to handle the maximum continuous output short-circuit current
of the power supply without the wire overheating.
For continued safe use of the instrument
Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.
Do not obstruct cooling air flow to the instrument.
Do not place a hot soldering iron on the instrument.
Do not pull the instrument with the power cord, connected
probe, or connected test lead.
Do not move the instrument when a probe is connected to a
circuit being tested.
