8.2 Safety specifications<br />
8.2.1 Live parts<br />
Chapter 8: Technical Specifications<br />
The instrument is safe to operate with the covers fitted and these must not be removed during operation.<br />
The covers protect the user from live parts and they should only be removed after switching the<br />
instrument off and disconnecting the mains supply cable, and only by suitably qualified maintenance<br />
and repair personnel.<br />
Voltages dangerous for human beings are present in this instrument. Before removing any<br />
covers, disconnect the instrument from the power supply.<br />
The Multidrop <strong>384</strong> fulfils the following requirements:<br />
EN 61010-1:1993 + A2:1995/IEC 61010-1:1990 + A1:1992 + A2:1995<br />
taking into account US and CA National differences<br />
EN 61010-1:2001 (Ed. 2)<br />
The safety specifications are also met under the following environmental conditions in addition to or in<br />
excess of those stated in the operating conditions:<br />
Altitude<br />
Up to 2000 m<br />
Temperature +10°C ― +40°C<br />
Mains supply fluctuations ± 10% from nominal<br />
Installation category (overvoltage category) II according to IEC 60664-1 (Note 1)<br />
Pollution degree 2 according to IEC 60664-1 (Note 2)<br />
Notes<br />
1. The installation category (overvoltage category) defines the level of transient overvoltage, which<br />
the instrument is designed to withstand safely. It depends on the nature of the electricity supply<br />
and its means of overvoltage protection. For example, in CAT II, which is the category used for<br />
instruments in installations supplied from a supply comparable to public mains, such as hospital<br />
and research laboratories and most industrial laboratories, the expected transient overvoltage is<br />
2500 V for a 230 V supply and 1500 V for a 120 V supply.<br />
2. The pollution degree describes the amount of conductive pollution present in the operating<br />
environment. Pollution degree 2 assumes that normally only nonconductive pollution, such as<br />
dust, occurs with the exception of occasional conductivity caused by condensation.<br />
Both of these affect the dimensioning of the electrical insulation within the instrument.<br />
