Safety Information
This unit is designed for compliance with harmonized electrical safety standard EN61010-
1:2000. It must be used in accordance with its specifications and operating instructions.
Operators of the unit are expected to be qualified personnel who are aware of electrical safety
issues. The customer’s Responsible Body, as defined in the standard, must ensure that operators
are provided with the appropriate equipment and training.
The unit is designed to make measurements in
Measurement Category I
as defined in the
standard.
CAUTION. According to installed options the F3200E can generate high voltages as follows,
present on the central conductor of the “HV out” SHV (Safe High Voltage) connector.:
+ or – 2000 V DC at 0.5 mA maximum.
or
+ or – 1000 V DC at 1.0 mA maximum
or
+ or – 500 V DC at 2.0 mA maximum
or
+ or – 200 V DC at 5.0 mA maximum
The hazardous live voltages on the SHV central conductor are not accessible under the
definitions of EN61010 but may nevertheless give a noticeable shock if misuse were to lead you
to come into contact with them. The user must therefore exercise appropriate caution when using
the device and when connecting cables. Power should be turned off before making any
connections.
In applications where high energy charged particle beams can strike electrodes which are
normally connected to the F3200E, voltages limited only by electrical breakdown can build up if
the F3200E is not connected to provide the earth return path. The user must ensure that a
suitable earth return path is always present when the particle beam may be present.
The unit must not be operated unless correctly assembled in its case. Protection from high
voltages generated by the device will be impaired if the unit is operated without its case. Only
Service Personnel, as defined in EN61010-1, should attempt to work on the disassembled unit,
and then only under specific instruction from Pyramid Technical Consultants, Inc.
The unit is designed to operate from +24VDC power, with a maximum current requirement of
1100 mA. A suitably rated power supply module is available as an option. Users who make
their own power provision should ensure that the supply cannot source more than 5 A.
