2.3 INITIAL INSPECTION
On first receiving your DCS-E Series power supply, perform a quick physical check, paying
particular attention to front panel controls and indicators as well as rear panel connectors and
terminals. See Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 for front and rear panel diagrams.
2.3.1 Physical Check
After unpacking, perform an initial inspection to ensure the unit and parts shipped with it have
not been damaged in transit. The package should contain the power supply, a manual, one (1)
AC input connector, and five (5) contact pins.
1. Inspect for dents and scratches to the cover and chassis; for scratches and cracks on
the front and rear panels; and for any broken controls, connectors, or displays.
2. Turn front panel controls from stop to stop. Rotation should be smooth.
3. Test the action of the power switch. Switching action should be positive.
4. If internal damage is suspected, remove the cover and check for printed circuit board
and/or component damage. Reinstall cover.
If damage is found to have occurred, save all packing materials and notify the carrier
immediately. Refer to the terms of the warranty. Direct repair problems to the manufacturer.
Note: Section 2.6 Initial Functional Tests contains electrical and operational tests you can
perform to ensure the unit is in proper working order after shipment. The tests are to be
performed once the AC input connector has been assembled but before the load has
been connected to the power supply.
2.4 LOCATION, MOUNTING, AND VENTILATION
The DCS-E system supply may be used in rack mounted or in benchtop applications. In either
case, you must allow at least 1U (1.75“) clearance for cooling air to reach the ventilation inlets
on the top of each unit. You must also allow sufficient space for unobstructed airflow on each
side and rear of all units so that the operating ambient temperature is within specification (see
Section 1.3, Specifications, in this manual).
CAUTION!
Obstructing the air inlets and/or exhaust may cause fire and irreversible
damage to the unit.
