You have just acquired a low frequency function generator; thank you for
your confidence in the quality of our products.
This instrument is compliant with safety standard NF EN 61010-1, single
insulation, concerning electronic measuring instruments. For optimal
service, read this manual carefully and observe the operating precautions.
Non-compliance with the warnings and/or operating instructions might
damage the unit and/or its components and might be dangerous for the
user.
•
This instrument was designed for indoor use, in an environment with a
pollution degree of 2, at an altitude lower than 2000 m, a temperature
between 0°C and 50°C with a relative humidity lower than 85 % at up to
40°C.
•
The VCF and COUNT IN inputs can be used for measurement on CAT I
installations. Do not use on CAT II, CAT III and CAT IV installations.
•
The transient over voltages present on CAT I installations must not
exceed 1500 V.
•
The COUNT IN input voltage must not exceed 250 V.
•
The VCF input must not exceed 10 V.
•
Mains supply : max. voltage 115 V or 230 V
CAT I: CAT I circuits are protected by devices limiting transient
overvoltage to a low level.
Example: protected electronic circuits
CAT II: CAT II circuits are power supply circuits for household or analog
units that can support medium-level transient overvoltage.
Example: household appliance and portable tool power supply
CAT III: CAT III circuits are power supply circuits that can support major
transient overvoltage.
Example: industrial unit or machine power supply
CAT IV: CAT IV circuits can support very high transient overvoltage.
Example: power input
•
Verify that the selection of power supply voltage corresponds to that of
the mains.
•
Observe environmental and storage conditions.
•
Carefully read all the notes preceded by the symbol
•
Connect the instrument to a socket fitted with an earthing plug.
•
Do not obstruct air vents.
•
For safety, use only appropriate cables and accessories delivered with
the unit or certified by the manufacturer.
•
When the unit is connected to the measuring circuits, never touch an
unused terminal.
