Equipment Cautions
A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like
that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to the product or loss of
important data. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.
General Cautions
Do not place objects on the instrument. Placing objects, especially heavy objects, on top
of the product can cause failures.
Installation Cautions
Do not block the air intake at the front of the instrument or the exhaust at the rear.
Large voltage distortion on the AC power line can lead to malfunction. Do not connect the
instrument to a generator or a similar device.
Do not use the product in a location where strong magnetic or electric fields are nearby or
a location where large amounts of distortion or noise are present on the input power
supply waveform. The product may malfunction.
Do not install the product on an inclined surface or location subject to vibrations. The
product may fall or tip over, causing damage or injuries or both.
Operational Cautions
You cannot set the voltage limit when the instrument is being controlled by external
analog signals. An excessive external voltage may damage the load.
When the output is turned on, several volts of undershoot or overshoot may appear for a
time period on the order of ten microseconds.
Servicing Cautions
This instrument has a void seal sticker on various locations on the chassis.
This seal prohibits opening the chassis or making any modifications.
Any attempt to open or modify the instrument will void the warranty and could
compromise its performance or safety. For assistance, please contact Keysight
