Safety Summary
The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be
observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before applying power,
follow the installation instructions and become familiar with the operating instructions for this
instrument.
If this device is damaged or something is missing, contact the place of purchase immediately.
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to ensure safe operation as well as
maintain the meter in a safe condition.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground.
This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied, three-conductor ac power
cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do not alter
the ground connection. Without the protective ground connection, all accessible conductive parts
(including control knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating plug of the power
cable must meet IEC safety standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Disconnect the power cord before
removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Under certain conditions, even with the
power cable removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid
and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications to this instrument. Return the
instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

WARNING:
Do not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground connection, all accessible
conductive parts (including control knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating
plug of the power cable meet IEC safety standards.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect power cord before removing covers. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.
Before connecting the line cord to the AC mains, check the rear panel AC line voltage indicator.
Applying a line voltage other than the indicated voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. For continued
fire protection, replace fuses only with those of the specified voltage and current ratings.
This product uses components which can be damaged by electro-static discharge (ESD). To avoid
damage, be sure to follow proper procedures for handling, storing and transporting parts and
subassemblies which contain ESD-sensitive components.
