a competitive source or used for manufacture by anyone other than Racal Instruments. The information

DISCLAIMER
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for the operation of the goods purchased and should
ensure that they are used properly and in accordance with this handbook and any other instructions provided
by Seller. Racal Instruments products are not specifically designed, manufactured or intended to be used as
parts, assemblies or components in planning, construction, maintenance or operation of a nuclear facility, or
in life support or safety critical applications in which the failure of the Racal Instruments product could create
a situation where personal injury or death could occur. Should Buyer purchase Racal Instruments product for
such unintended application, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Racal Instruments, its officers, employees,
subsidiaries, affiliates and distributors harmless against all claims arising out of a claim for personal injury or

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance or exploratory procedure, read carefully the
WARNINGS and CAUTION notices.
This equipment contains voltage hazardous to
human life and safety, and is capable of
inflicting personal injury.
If this instrument is to be powered from the AC line (mains) through an auto-
transformer, ensure the common connector is connected to the neutral (earth pole)
of the power supply.
Before operating the unit, ensure the conductor (green wire) is connected to the
ground (earth) conductor of the power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor extension
cord or a three-prong/two-prong adapter. This will defeat the protective feature of the
third conductor in the power cord.
Maintenance and calibration procedures sometimes call for operation of the unit with
power applied and protective covers removed. Read the procedures and heed
warnings to avoid “live” circuit points.
Before operating this instrument:
1. Ensure the proper fuse is in place for the power source to operate.
2. Ensure all other devices connected to or in proximity to this instrument are properly grounded or
connected to the protective third-wire earth ground.
If the instrument:
- fails to operate satisfactorily
- shows visible damage
- has been stored under unfavorable conditions
- has sustained stress
Do not operate until, performance is checked by qualified personnel.
