General Safety Considerations
Note This instrument has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC
Publication 1010, Safety Requirements for Electronics Measuring Apparatus,
and has been supplied in a safe condition. This instruction documentation
contains information and warnings which must be followed by the user to
ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument in a safe condition.
Warning This is a safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be
inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument,
is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
Warning No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. lb prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
Caution Before switching on this instrument, make sure that the line voltage selector
switch is set to the voltage of the power supply and the correct fuse is
installed. Assure the supply voltage is in the specified range.
Warning The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous
voltages. DiSCOMeCt the instrument from all voltage sources while it is
being opened.
Warning The power cord is connected tointernal capacitors that may remain live
for 10 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
Warning For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only with
same type and rating (F 3A/250V). The use of other fuses or material is
prohibited.
Warning lb prevent electrical shock, disconnect the HP 87533 from mains before
cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean
the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
Warning If this product is not used as specitled, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal
condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
Warning Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with this product.
FMlure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may
cause product damage.
Caution This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree
2 per IEC 1010 and 664 respectively.
Caution VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS: When instaIling the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4O C for every 100 watts dissipated in the
cabinet. If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater that 800 watts,
then forced convection must be used.
Warning Install the instrument according to the enclosure protection provided.
This instrument does not protect against the ingress of water. This
iustrument protects agaius finger access to hazardous parts within the
enclosure.
