Safety label on the device
Please take note of the following explanations of the symbols used to achieve the optimum benefit from this
manual and to ensure safety during operation of the equipment.
This symbol warns of a potential risk of shock hazard. The symbol on an instrument
shows that that it can generate 1000 volt or more, including the combined effect of
normal and common mode voltages. Use standard safety precautions to avoid
personal contact with these voltages.
This symbol indicates where a caution is required. Refer to the operating instructions
located in the manual to protect against personal injury or damage the equipment.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates the presence of a hazard that will or could cause minor personal

guaranteed.
2.9.
Specific accessories required for safety reason
Only use accessories approved by AMETEK CTS for these generators and intended as accessories for these
devices. Measuring instruments for the measurement of instrument parameters shall be designed for the
maximum voltage and current from the generator. Otherwise safety cannot be guaranteed.
2.10. Procedure in case of hazard
If a hazard could exist due to an unintended condition of the generator, the following procedure is recommended:
Disconnect the device- and EUT power supplies from the power supply and ensure that the generator is always
earthed via the supply lines or a different ground connection. Wait at least 15 minutes and ground all outputs via
a 10 k
Ω, 15 W resistor. Call an AMETEK service center.
2.11. Temperatures at the surface
The components that generate heat in the device (resistors, etc.) are arranged inside the device in such a way
that no temperatures higher than 50
C occur on the surface.
