K15 Short Introduction

Use Proper Fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this

product.

Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all

ratings and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for

further ratings information before making connections to the product.

The common terminal is at ground potential. Do not connect the common

terminal to elevated voltages.

With some interfaces only voltages corresponding to the default of the

relevant connector are applied at the measuring sockets. However, high

voltages from the line may occur at some of the measuring sockets. These

measuring sockets are protected against accidental contact and are

specially labeled.

Do Not Look into the End of a Fiberglass Cable. Never look into the end of a

fiberglass cable or a single fiber which could be connected to a laser

source. Laser radiation can damage your eyes because it is invisible and

your pupils do not contract instinctively as with normal bright light. If you

think your eyes have been exposed to laser radiation, you should have your

eyes checked immediately by an eye doctor. The optical output’s radiation

power in our system corresponds to the laser class 1 in accordance with

IEC 60825-1:1993/A2:2001.

Avoid Exposed Circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components

when power is present.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage to this

product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

Provide Proper Ventilation.

Refer to the manual’s installation instructions for

details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.
