Guideline SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Avoid severe impact or rough handling that leads to damaging the LCR-800. CAUTION This chapter contains important safety instructions Do not discharge static electricity to the LCR- that you must follow when operating or storing 800. the LCR-800. Read the following before any Do not block or obstruct the cooling fan vent operation to insure your safety and to keep the opening. LCR-800 in the best possible condition. Do not perform measurement at circuits directly connected to Mains (Note below). Safety Symbols Do not disassemble the LCR-800 unless you are These safety symbols may appear in this manual or on the LCR-800. qualified as service personnel. (Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the measurement categories and their requirements as follows. LCR-800 Warning: Identifies conditions or practices that falls under category I. WARNING could result in injury or loss of life. Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the source of low-voltage installation. Caution: Identifies conditions or practices that Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the CAUTION could result in damage to the LCR-800 or to other building installation. properties. Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation. DANGER High Voltage Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to Mains. Attention Refer to the Manual Power Supply AC Input voltage: 100V-240V, 50-60/400Hz The power supply voltage should not fluctuate Protective Conductor Terminal WARNING more than 110V-240V ±10%. Connect the protective grounding conductor of Earth (ground) Terminal the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid electrical shock. Do not dispose electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste.

Please make sure discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild reduce environmental impact. detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid. Do not use chemical or cleaner containing harsh material such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone. Operation Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free, Environment almost non-conductive pollution (Note below) Relative Humidity: < 85% Altitude: < 2000m Temperature: 10°C to 50°C (Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies the pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. LCR-800 falls under degree 2. Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric strength or surface resistivity”. Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence. Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected. Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non- conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. 7 8 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LCR-800 User Manual Power cord for the United Kingdom When using the LCR-800 in the United Kingdom, make sure the power cord meets the following safety instructions.
