Getting Started
Proper Use and Cleaning
Proper Use and Cleaning
The signal generator cover protects against physical contact with internal assemblies that contain
hazardous voltages, but does not protect internal assemblies against contact with liquids. To avoid
damage and personal injury, ensure that liquids are positioned away from the signal generator.
WARNING Personal injury may result if the signal generator is not used as specified.
Unspecified use impairs the protection provided by the equipment. The signal
generator must be used with all means for protection intact.
Cleaning Suggestions
WARNING Electrical shock may result if the signal generator is not disconnected from the
mains supply before cleaning. Do not attempt to clean internally.
Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the instruments power cord
removed, and in a well- ventilated room. Allow all residual alcohol moisture to
evaporate, and the fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
To ensure good connections, regularly clean the instrument’s front and rear panel connectors with
alcohol.
To prevent dust build-up that could potentially obstruct ventilation, periodically clean the
instrument’s cover. Use a dry cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with water to clean the external
case parts.
