•Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of

operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these

precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual may impair the

protections provided by the equipment. In addition, it violates safety standards

of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Agilent

Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with

these requirements.

NOTE Agilent 4155B/4156B/41501B comply with INSTALLATION CATEGORY II for

mains input and INSTALLATION CATEGORY I for measurement input terminals,

and POLLUTION DEGREE 2 defined in IEC 1010-1.

Agilent 4155B/4156B/41501B are INDOOR USE products.

NOTE LEDs in Agilent 4155B/4156B/41501B are Class 1 in accordance with IEC 825-1.

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT.

•GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

This is Safety Class I instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument

chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The power

terminal and the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) safety standards.

•DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a

definite safety hazard.

•KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Operation personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component

replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified

maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable

connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even

with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power

and discharge circuits before touching them.

•DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable

of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

Agilent 4155B/4156B User’s Guide Vol.2, Edition 5 5

•DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install

substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument.

Return the instrument to a Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for

services and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

•DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS

Warnings, such as example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures

throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be
