►
Secure against re-connection.
►
Verify that the installation is dead.
►
Carry out grounding and short-circuiting.
►
Provide protection against adjacent live parts.

Instructions
►
Read the safety instructions and setup information described in the
SPECTANO 100 Quick Start Guide before operating
SPECTANO 100
or its
accessories. In addition, read the manuals of all devices included in the test
setup. Any maloperation can result in damage to property or persons.
►
Use
SPECTANO 100
and its accessories only in a technically sound
condition and when its use is in accordance with the local safety regulations.
In particular, avoid disruptions that could in turn affect safety.
►
Before using
SPECTANO 100
, always ensure that neither the device nor its
accessories are damaged.
►
Connect the equipotential ground of
SPECTANO 100
with a solid
connection of at least 6 mm
2
cross-section and not longer than 20 meters to
a ground connection in the laboratory. Never handle
SPECTANO 100
without grounding it.
►
Ensure that all ground connections are in good condition, clean, and free of
oxidation.
►
Connect any parts of the test cell which have to be connected to ground
according to the related manual.
►
Only use the delivered grounded AC power supply DRA SUPPLY to power
SPECTANO 100
. Never use power outlets without protective ground (PE).
►
Always turn off
SPECTANO 100
(with the power switch on the back) before
connecting or disconnecting any cables or changing the test cell. Be
especially careful when using unsafe adapter cables (for example, BNC
adapter).
►
Ensure that no dangerous voltages are present at touchable parts of the test
setup. If this is not possible due to, for example, unsafe adapter cables or
connectors or unsafe test cells always secure the danger zone with clearly
visible barriers before performing tests.
