1.4 Safety notes
While electrical safety in the handling of the 762 IC Interface is assured
in the context of the specifications IEC 1010-1 (protection class 1, de-
gree 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 762 IC Interface is connected to the power supply, the instru-
ment must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it, other-
wise 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 8 8 !
• 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 762 IC 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.
