corrections and updates may have the same printing date. Revised editions are identified by a new printing date. A revised

Changes to the manual occurring between revisions are covered by change sheets shipped with the manual. In some cases,
the manual change applies only to specific instruments. Instructions provided on the change sheet will indicate if a particular

Safety Considerations
The Agilent Solar Array Simulator is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it has a protective earth terminal. That
terminal must be connected to earth ground through a power source equipped with a 3-wire ground receptacle. Refer to the
Safety Summary page at the beginning of this guide for general safety information. Before installation or operation, check
the Agilent SAS and review this guide for safety warnings and instructions. Safety warnings for specific procedures are
located at appropriate places in the guide.
