Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test leads,
and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals, may be used if the
rating and type are the same. Other components that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent
to the original component. (Note that selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and func-
tionality of the product.) If you are unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for informa-
tion.
To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly
to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with no case or chassis (e.g., data
acquisition board for installation into a computer) should never require cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board becomes
contaminated and operation is affected, the board should be returned to the factory for proper cleaning/servicing.
