1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 861 Advanced Compact IC
is assured in the context of the specifications EN / IEC 61010-1 (protec-
tion class I , degree of protection IP20), the following points should be
noted:
• Mains connection
Setting of the mains voltage, checking the mains fuse and the
mains connection must be effected in accordance with the instruc-
tions in Section 2.4.
• Opening the 861 Advanced Compact IC
If the 861 Advanced Compact IC 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. Therefore always disconnect the instrument from all
voltage sources before you open it and ensure that the mains cable
is disconnected from mains connection 17 !
• Protection against static charges
Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be
destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components in-
side the 861 Advanced Compact IC, you should ground yourself and
any tools you are using by touching a grounded object (e.g. housing
of the instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which
exist.
1.4.2 General precautionary rules
• Handling of solvents
Check all lines of the IC system periodically for possible leaks. Follow
the relevant instructions regarding the handling of flammable and/or
toxic solvents and their disposal.
