VOLTCRAFT FG 8210 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 27

• The device must only be opened by a specialist. Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts
are removed (unless this can be done without tools). Capacitors inside the device may still carry voltage even
though the device has been disconnected from all power sources. Disconnect the device from all meters and volt-
age sources before opening it.
• Do not switch the device on immediately after taking it from a cold to a warm environment. The condensation that
forms might destroy your device under detrimental conditions . Allow the device to reach room temperature before
switching it on.
• The device generates heat during operation; ensure that it is adequately ventilated. Ventilation slots must not be
covered!
• Only fuses of the indicated type and rated current must be used. Use of patched fuses is forbidden.
• The function generator is not designed for attaching to humans or animals.
• Be especially careful when dealing with voltages higher than 50 V alternating (AC) or 75 V direct voltage (DC).
Even at these voltages it is possible to receive a potentially fatal electric shock if you touch electrical conductors.
• Before each measurement, check your function generator or your measuring lines (scanner heads, BNC cables)
and your mains line for damage. Damaged parts and accessories must no longer be used. Securing measures are
necessary before repeated use.
• To avoid electric shock, observe that you do not touch the scanning head tip(s) or alligator clamps, not even
indirectly, while the BNC lines and the connections to be measured (measuring points) are open.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures direct sunlight, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours
and solvents.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid on top of them (e. g. glasses).
• Do not operate the device in rooms or under unfavourable conditions where combustible gases, vapours or dusts
are or may be present.
• When secure operation is no longer possible, shut off the product and protect it from inadvertent use. Secure
operation is no longer warranted if the product:
- has visible damage,
- no longer works properly,
- was stored under detrimental ambience conditions for an extended period or
- was subjected to considerable transport strain.
• Also observe the safety information in the different chapters of in the operating instructions of the connected
devices.
• Warning! This is a class-A-facility. This facility may cause radio interferences in the residential area. In this case,
the operator may be required to take appropriate measures.
