4 Be aware of potential

shock hazards during
floating-ground
measurements.

a Do not touch any of the DC subsystem

output connectors when the shorting bar is
disconnected and a floating-ground
measurement is in progress.

b Warn others working in the system’s

vicinity of the potential shock hazards.

For additional information, see the
following section

“Precautions for

Performing Floating-Ground
Measurements

.”

5 Before touching the

FORCE, SENSE, or GUARD
connectors, ensure your
safety.

a Switch off the DC subsystem and discharge

the capacitors.

b If you do not switch off the instruments,

complete ALL of the following
precautionary steps:

Terminate the DC subsystem
measurement by pressing the Stop key
and confirming that the MEASUREMENT
indicator is not lit.

Deactivate the standby mode (if used) by
pressing the Standby key and confirming
that the Standby indicator is not lit.

Confirm that the HIGH VOLTAGE
indicator is not lit.

Open the interlock connection.

6 Never use replacement

fuses with incorrect
ratings.

a After finding the cause of failure, replace

component fuses with fuses of the same
current rating and of the type specified in
the instrument’s product documentation.

Failure to use correctly rated fuses
could result in a fire hazard and
damage to the equipment.

7 Install the instrument so

that the ON/OFF switch is
readily identifiable and
easily reached by the
operator.

The ON/OFF switch is the system
disconnecting device. It disconnects
the mains circuit from the mains supply
before other parts of the instrument.

Alternately, an externally installed
switch or circuit breaker (readily
identifiable and easily reached by the
operator) may be used as a
disconnection device.
