IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for
your particular application.
WARNING !
Hazardous voltages might be present when covers are removed. Qualified
personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment. Circuitry,
test points, and output voltages might be floating with respect to chassis
ground. Do not touch electrical circuits, and use appropriately rated test
equipment. A safety ground wire must be connected from the chassis to the
AC mains input when servicing this equipment.
WARNING !
This equipment contains ESD sensitive input/output connection ports. When
installing equipment, follow ESD safety procedures. Electrostatic discharges
might cause damage to the equipment.
Only qualified personnel, who understand and deal with attendant hazards in power
supplies, are allowed to perform installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC mains input ground is connected properly to the chassis safety
ground connection. Similarly, other power ground lines, including those to application
and maintenance equipment, must be grounded properly for both personnel and
equipment safety. Always ensure that facility AC mains input is de-energized prior to
connecting or disconnecting any cable.
In normal operation from the front panel, the operator does not have access to
hazardous voltages within the chassis. However, depending on the application
configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY might be
normally generated on the output terminals. The user must ensure that the output power
lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any possibility for inadvertent
contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any
portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an
electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury
by any sudden component failure.
Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the
subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or
inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment
and accessories.
