Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be followed during all

phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument.

Before applying power to this instrument:

●Readandunderstandthesafetyandoperationalinformationinthismanual.

●Applyallthelistedsafetyprecautions.

●Verifythatthevoltageselectoratthelinepowercordinputissettothecorrectlinevoltage.Operatingtheinstrumentat

an incorrect line voltage will void the warranty.

●Makeallconnectionstotheinstrumentbeforeapplyingpower.

●DonotoperatetheinstrumentinwaysnotspecifiedbythismanualorbyB&KPrecision.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with warnings elsewhere in this manual violates the safety standards of
