Environment Conditions
This instrument is intended for
indoor use in an installation category
II, pollution degree 2 environment. It
is designed to operate at a maximum
relative humidity of 95% and at
altitudes of up to 2000 meters.
Refer to the specifications tables for
the ac mains voltage requirements
and ambient operating temperature
range.
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are
taken. The power cable inlet of the
instrument serves as a device to
disconnect from the mains in case of
hazard. The instrument must be
positioned so that the operator can
easily access the power cable inlet.
When the instrument is rack
mounted the rack must be provided
