Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation

of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings or

operating instructions in the product manuals violates safety standards of design,

manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight Technologies assumes no

liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements. Product manuals

are provided with your instrument on CD-ROM and/or in printed form. Printed manuals

are an option for many products. Manuals may also be available on the Web. Go to

www.keysight.com and type in your product number in the Search field at the top of the

page. Safe operation and the general safety precautions for the M9502A and M9505A

AXIe chassis, must be followed. See: http://www.keysight.com/find/M9505A.

Initial Inspection Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to the container or

cushioning, keep them until you have checked the contents of the shipment for

completeness and verified the instrument both mechanically and electrically. The

Performance Tests give procedures for checking the operation of the instrument. If the

contents are incomplete, mechanical damage or defect is apparent, or if an instrument

does not pass the operator’s checks, notify the nearest Keysight Technologies

Sales/Service Office.

WARNING To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical tests when

there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of the outer enclosure (covers, panels,

etc.).

General This product is a Safety Class 3 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal).

The protective features of this product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not

specified in the operation instructions.

Laser Safety Information Class 1 Laser product according IEC60825-1 (2007).

Environment Conditions This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2

environment. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C – 40 °C

(32 °F – 105 °F) at a maximum relative humidity of 80% and at altitudes of up to

2000 meters.

This module can be stored or shipped at temperatures between -40 °C and +70 °C.

Protect the module from temperature extremes that may cause condensation within it.

Before Applying Power Verify that all safety precautions are taken. The power cable inlet of the instrument serves

as a device to disconnect from the mains in case of hazard. The instrument must be

positioned so that the operator can easily access the power cable inlet. When the

instrument is rack mounted the rack must be provided with an easily accessible mains

switch.

Line Power Requirements The Keysight M8131A operates when installed in an Keysight AXIe mainframe.

Do Not Operate in an

Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Do Not Remove the

Instrument Cover

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and

internal adjustments must be made only by qualified personnel.

Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured

against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Ground the Instrument To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an

electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power

mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an

electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective

(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a

potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
