Safety
The Gen3 A meets the relevant requirements defined in the European Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
2014/35/EU. The apparatus has been designed for indoor use only.
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 the apparatus or disconnection of the protective
earth terminal is likely to render the apparatus dangerous.
This unit must be earthed.
When the apparatus is connected to its supply, terminals may be live and the opening of covers or removal
of parts (except those to which access can be gained by hand) is likely to expose live parts.
The apparatus shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for any adjustment,
replacement, maintenance or repair. Capacitors inside the apparatus may still be charged even if the
apparatus has been disconnected from all voltage sources. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the
opened apparatus under voltage should be avoided as far as possible and, if unavoidable, shall be carried
out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Only fuses with the required current rating and of the specified type may be used for replacement. The use
of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders are prohibited.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the apparatus shall be made inoperative,
secured against any unintended operation and returned to the manufacturer for testing. Protection is likely
to be impaired if, for example, the apparatus, shows visible damage, fails to perform the intended
measurements, has been subjected to prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions, or has been
subject to severe transport stresses.
