GENERAL
This product is a Safety Class 1 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.
All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC
60825-1.
This product has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication
1010, "Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus," and has been

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution
degree 2 environment. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of
95% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters. Refer to the specifications tables for the
ac mains voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature range.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing 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 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power
dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced convection must be
used.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage, the correct fuse is
installed, and all safety precautions are taken. Note the instrument's external
