Introduction; Safety Information - Minipa MDC-510 Manual De Instruccion

1) INTRODUCTION

The capacitive decade MDC-510 has 5 decades of capacitance
and offers an excellent accuracy for a wide range of values.
Because the high precision of the rotary switch, it is possible
to reduce the error that typically occurs due the contact capaci-
tance in low capacitance ranges. The switches are protected
against dust, and they don't need to be cleaned.
The capacitances of this decade are of high quality, allowing
therefore the use of this equipment for several applications as
electric, electronic and scientific experiments.

2) SAFETY INFORMATION

This manual contains information and warnings that must be
followed for a safe operation of the equipment and to keep it
in safe conditions of operation.
In the case of any doubt regarding the protection provided by
the equipment, make it unusable immediately.
The protection can be compromised if, for example, the
equipment: Shows visible damages; It was stored for a long
time in unfavorable conditions; It was submitted to the severe
vibrations of transport.
Never connect voltage above the limits of the inputs of the
equipment. Otherwise, the equipment can be permanently
damaged, and the user can be exposed to fatal injuries.
The repairs, the exchanges of parts and the calibrations must
be executed by qualified personal.
After use the decade, discharge the accumulated voltage in
the capacitors using an appropriate resistance.
