1.4 Safety

notes

While electrical safety in the handling of the 771 IC Compact Interface is

assured in the context of the specifications IEC 1010-1 (protection class

1, degree of protection IP40), the following points should be noted:

•

Mains connection

The

mains connection must be effected in accordance with the

instructions in section 2.2.

•

Opening the instrument

Inside the instrument there are no parts which must be set or adjusted

by the user.

If the 771 IC Compact Interface is connected to the power supply, the

instrument must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it,

otherwise there is a danger of coming into contact with components

which are live. Hence, always disconnect the instrument from all

voltage sources before you open it and ensure that the

mains cable

is disconnected from mains connection

•

Protection against static charges

Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be

destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components

inside the 771 IC Compact Interface, you should earth yourself and

any tools you are using by touching an earthed object (e.g. housing of

the instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which

exist.
