Safety Consideration
This device is marked with the international Caution symbol.
The instrument is a panel mount device protected in
accordance with Class I of EN61010-1 (AC units) and Class III
(DC units). Remember that the unit has no power-on switch.
Building installation should include a switch or circuit-breaker
that must be compliant to IEC 947-1 and 947-3.
SAFETY:
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the
top of the instrument housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and
power connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its
case for safety reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive
atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
EMC:
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wire close to the instrument if
EMC problems persist.
