Electrical Safety Checkpoints

Always consider the following:
• Connect the instrument to a correctly installed line power outlet
that has a protective conductor connection (earth or ground).
• Do not operate the instrument while any panels or internal parts
are removed. If the opened instrument must be operated, the
operation must be performed only by a qualified service person
who is aware of all the hazards involved.
• Turn the power off and disconnect the instrument from all
voltage sources before opening the instrument for any
adjustment, replacement, maintenance, or repair.
• Only a trained and qualified FSE may service the instrument.
• Only use fuses with the required current rating and the specified
type. Do not use makeshift fuses or short-circuit the fuse
holders.
• In the event of an accidental spill of liquid or chemicals, remove
power to the instrument before performing any cleaning
procedure.
• If the instrument is considered unsafe to use, unplug the
instrument so that it cannot be operated. Secure the instrument
against any unauthorized or unintentional operation.
• The electrical safety of the instrument may be impaired if the
instrument:
