For the guidance and protection of the user,

Notes

,

Cautions

and

Warnings

appear

throughout the manual. The significance of these is as follows:

NOTES

highlight important information for the reader's special attention.

CAUTIONS

guide the reader in avoiding damage to the equipment.

WARNINGS

guide the reader in avoiding a hazard that could cause injury or

death.

AVOID UNSAFE EQUIPMENT

The equipment may be unsafe if any of the following statements apply:

• 

Equipment shows visible damage.

• 

Equipment has failed to perform an intended operation.

• 

Equipment has been stored in unfavourable conditions.

• 

Equipment has been subjected to severe physical stress.

If in any doubt as to the serviceability of the equipment, don't use it. Get it properly
checked out by a qualified service technician.

LIVE CONDUCTORS

When the equipment is connected to its measurement inputs or supply, the opening of
covers or removal of parts could expose live conductors. The equipment must be
disconnected from all power and signal sources, before it is opened for any
adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Only qualified personnel, who
should refer to the relevant maintenance documentation, must do adjustments,
maintenance or repair.

EQUIPMENT MODIFICATION

To avoid introducing safety hazards, never install non-standard parts in the
equipment, or make any unauthorised modification. To maintain safety, always return
the equipment to Solartron for service and repair.
