Voltcraft 8202 Function Generator, Frequency Generator 8202 Data Sheet

25

• Exclusively use fuses of the type and rated current specified. It is absolutely prohibited to use repaired

fuses.

• The function generator is not designed for application to human beings or animals.

• Take particular care when dealing with voltages exceeding 25V alternating current (AC) or 35V direct

current (DC). Even with voltages as low as these, it is possible to receive a life-threatening electric
shock by touching electric conductors.

• Check your function generator or your measuring lines (sensor heads, BNC cables) and the mains

cable for damage before starting to measure.

• To prevent electric shock, make sure that the sensor head tip(s) or alligator clips as well as the connec-

tions to be measured (measuring spots) do not touch, not even indirectly.

• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect the device imme-

diately and secure it against inadvertent operation. It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer
possible if:

- the device exhibits visible damage,
- the device does not operate any longer and
- the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of time or
- the device was exposed to extraordinary stress in transit.

•  You should also heed the additional safety instructions in each chapter of these operating instructions

as well as in the operating instructions of the connected devices.

• Connect the provided shockproof power cable to the power connector (21) at the function generator.

Make sure it is plugged properly.

• Connect the power cable to a shockproof mains socket with protective grounding.

• Press the mains switch to turn the generator on or off. In pressed position, the device is on.
• The device performs a self-test after being turned on, which is indicated by the lighting up of all display

segments. The generator is ready for operation after the test.

• In order to ensure that the output signal is symmetric and also not influenced by the wobble generator,

please observe the following table:
