Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until the indicatedconditions are fully understood and met.General Safety ConsiderationsWarningFor continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only withsame type and rating (3A/250V). The use of other fuses or material isprohibited.WarningThis is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthingground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only beinserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Anyinterruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument,is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption isprohibited.CautionVentilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in a cabinet, theconvection into and out of the instrument must not be restricted. The ambienttemperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operatingtemperature of the instrument by 4 OC for every 100 watts dissipated in thecabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts,then forced convection must be used.
