Handling Precautions
Safety Precautions
• When using the TA720 for the first time, make sure to read the “Safety Precautions”
given on pages iv and v.
• Do not remove the cover from the instrument. Some sections inside the instrument have
high voltages that are extremely dangerous. For internal inspection or adjustment,
contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer as listed on the back cover of this manual.
• Never continue to use the instrument if there are any symptoms of trouble such as strange
odors or smoke coming from the instrument. In such cases, immediately turn OFF the power
and unplug the power cord. If such an irregularity occurs, contact your dealer or the nearest
YOKOGAWA representative, as listed on the back cover of this manual.
• If the following error message is displayed, immediately turn OFF the power. The
cooling fan has stopped. From the rear panel, check for and remove any foreign
object that may be obstructing the cooling fan. If the same error message appears
when you turn ON the power switch again, it is probably a malfunction. In this case,
contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
• Nothing should be placed on top of the power cord. The power cord should also be
kept away from any heat sources. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet,
never pull by the cord itself. Always hold and pull by the plug. If the power cord is
damaged, contact your dealer for replacement. Refer to page ii for the part number of
the appropriate power cord when placing an order.
General Handling Precautions
• Never place any objects containing water on top of the instrument. Such act can lead
to malfunction.
• Do not apply shock or vibration. Such act can lead to malfunction. Take extra caution
because the built-in floppy disk drive is sensitive to vibration and shock. In addition,
applying shock to the input/output terminal or the connected cable can cause
electrical noise to enter or output from the instrument.
• Do not bring charged objects near the input/output terminals. Such act can lead to
malfunction.
• If you are not going to use the instrument for a long period of time, unplug the power
cord from the outlet.
• When carrying the instrument, unplug the power cord and cables. The instrument
weighs approximately 12 kg. To carry the instrument, use the handle as shown in the
figure below, and move it with care.
