Safety Considerations
This mainframe is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means that it has a protective earth terminal. That terminal must be
connected to earth ground through a power source equipped with a 3-wire ground receptacle.
Refer to the safety summary page at the beginning of this manual for general safety information. Before installation or
operation, check the mainframe and review this manual for safety markings and instructions. Safety information for specific
procedures is located at the appropriate places in this manual.
Instrument Identification
The mainframe is identified by a two-part serial number, such as 3140A-01234, on the back of the unit. The first part, or
prefix, is a number-letter combination that describes:
3140 The year and week of manufacture or last significant design change. Add 1960 to the first two
digits to determine the year. For example, 31=1991, 32=1992, etc. The last two digits specify the week
of the year (40 = the 40th week).
A The letter indicates the country of manufacture, where A = USA.
