Precautions

SAFETY FIRST - TO ALL OPERATIONS PERSONNEL

General Conditions of Use

This product is designed and tested to comply with the requirements of IEC/EN61010-1 ‘Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use’ for Class I portable equipment and is for use in a pollut ion degree 2 environment. The equipment is designed to operate from instal lat ion supply Category I I .

The ATC-5000NG should be protected from l iquids such as spi l ls, leaks, etc. and precipitat ion such as rain, snow, etc. When moving the equipment from a cold to hot environment, al low the temperature of the equipment to stabi l ize before the Unit is connected to an AC power supply to avoid condensation forming. The equipment must only be operated within the environmental condit ions specif ied in the product specif icat ions.

This product is not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres or medical appl icat ions. I f the equipment is to be used in a safety-related applicat ion, such as avionics or mil i tary appl icat ions, the suitabi l i ty of the product must be assessed and approved for use by a competent person. Refer al l servicing of Unit to Quali f ied Technical Personnel.

Use of Probes

To prevent electrical shock or damage to equipment: Verify that al l the connect ions between the equipmen t and a device under test do not exceed maximum port rat ings for voltage, current and power.


Pour éviter tout choc électrique ou D’endommageR l 'équipement:Vérif iez que toutes les interconnexions entre l 'équipement et un périphér ique testé ne dépassent pas les valeurs maximales pour la tension, le courant et la puissance DE CHAQUE PORT.

DMM Measurement Category

The Digital Mult imeter (DMM) is classif ied in Measurement Category I I . Measurement Category I I is designated for equipment which performs measurements on circuits direct ly connected to low voltage instal lat ion.

Power Cords The AC Power Cord included with the Test Set , or an appropriate replacement, should be used to connect the Test Set to a grounded AC power supply. Fai l ure to ground the Test Set may expose the operator to hazardous voltage levels.

To connect the Test Set to a Class I I (ungrounded) 2-terminal socket out let, f i t the power cord with either a 3-pin Class I plug used in conjunct ion with an adapter incorporat ing a ground wire or f i t the power cord with a Class I I plug containing an integral ground wire. The ground wire must be securely fastened to ground; grounding one terminal on a 2-terminal socket does not provide adequate protect ion.

Power cords must be in good operat ing condit ion. Power cords must not be frayed or broken, nor expose bare wiring. Using a damaged power cord may expose the operator to hazardous voltage levels.

International Power Requirements

The AC power cord must meet local regulat ions and power requirements. Check with local standards and regulat ions to ensure the power cord being used meets al l local safety regulat ions.

3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 Safety Precautions

The fol lowing safety precautions must be observed during instal lat ion and operat ion. Aerof lex assumes no l iabi l i ty for fai lure to comply with any safety precaution out l ined in this manual.

3.1.A Complying with Instructions

Instal lat ion/operat ing personnel should not attempt to instal l or operate the Test Set without reading and complying with instruct ions contained in this manual. Al l procedures contained in this manual must be performed in exact sequence and manner described.

3.1.B AC Power Requirements

The ATC-5000NG power supply operates over a voltage range of 100 to 120 VAC at 60 Hz or 220 to 240 VAC at 50 Hz.

3.1.C Ventilation

The RGS-2000NG is air-cooled by fans that draw air through vents in the case. Do not onstruct the air vents while the instrument is in use. Avoid standing the instrument on or close to other equipment that is hot .

3.1.D Grounding Power Cord

Use a 3-prong AC Power Cord to connect the Test Set to a grounded AC Power Supply.

DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-

PRONG ADAPTER PLUG. DOING SO

CREATES A SHOCK HAZARD BETWEEN

THE CHASSIS AND ELECTRICAL GROUND.

For AC operat ion, the AC Line Cable, connected to the External DC Power Supply, is equipped with a standard three-prong plug and must be connected to a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

I t is the customer's responsibi l i ty to:

Have a qual i f ied electric ian check receptacle(s) for proper grounding.

Replace any standard two-prong receptacle(s) with properly grounded three-prong receptacle(s).

3.2 Installation Procedure

3.2.A Bench Use

STEP PROCEDURE

1. Set the ATC-5000NG into operat ing posit ion.

2. Connect the AC Power Cable from the AC INPUT Connector to an external AC power source (100 to 240 VAC at 60 to 50 Hz).

The AC Power Cable is used to ful ly disconnect the Test Set from AC Power. The Test Set should not be posit ioned so the disconnect ion of the AC Power Cable is prevented.

3. Set the Power Switch (on the Test Set Rear Panel) to the ON posit ion (I).

4. Press the Power Switch (on the Test Set Front Panel). The Power Switch Indicator l ights and the Test Set starts the power-up sequence.
