Important Safety Instructions

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your

particular application.

WARNING

Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed.
Qualified personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this

equipment. Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may

be floating above (below) chassis ground.

Only

qualified personnel

who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to

perform installation and servicing.

Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or

chassis. 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 input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting

any cable.

In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis.

However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS
TO HUMAN SAFETY
may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user

must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that

any 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.
