2.1. Caution and Warning Statements
CAUTION: Shows where incorrect procedures can cause damage to, or destruction of equipment or other property.
The instrument cannot be powered from a DC-AC converter nor from a solid-state AC generator with non-sinusoidal output. It is recommended to monitor the output signal of the amplifier on the oscilloscope.
WARNING: Shows a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to prevent personal injury.
Red BNC contacts are high voltage outputs. Do not make/change connection during operation due to dangerous voltage levels.
High voltage outputs can only be connected to high voltage inputs on the summing modules, marked -IN and +IN, respectively. Never connect high voltage outputs to TTL inputs nor to each other.
Inside the WFG600 exist dangerously high voltage levels. Do not open the instrument!
