Notes:

Minimum airflow for forced air cooling is 26 cfm.

Maximum ambient temperature for continuous output power specified above is 50 °C .

Storage: -40 to +85 °C. Units should be allowed to warm-up under non-condensing conditions before application of power.

Maximum Relative Humidity 96 %, no condensation.

SAFETY DECLARATION: SL Power Electronics Corp. declares under our sole responsibility that all
models listed above are in conformity with the applicable requirements of EN 60950-1 following the
provisions of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. All models are Certified to be in compliance with the
applicable requirements of UL 1950, CSA 22.2 No. 234, and EN 60950-1. They are certified for Pollution

Degree 2 environment and Class I TN-S power systems. All DC Outputs are SELV under normal and single fault conditions.

CAUTION: The output power capability exceeds 240VA and must be considered an energy hazard.

GROUNDING: Protection Class I requires that the chassis and/or TB1-3 be bonded to Protective Earth in the end
application. Using TB1-3 for the primary system earthing terminal is not recommended.

SPACINGS: Creepage and clearance distances from primary circuits to ground and secondary circuits, as defined in the
applicable safety standards, must be maintained after installation to preserve the intended safety.

TEMPERATURES: The maximum operating temperatures of certain safety components, as defined in the applicable safety
standards, must not be exceeded after installation to preserve the intended safety. The output power, ambient air temperature
and the availability, amount, direction and/or restriction of airflow influence the temperatures of these components.

WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! A blown fuse is an indication of catastrophic failure of circuit component(s). Repair must
be performed by SL Power Electronics Corp. authorized personnel. Fuse F1 must be replaced with F 7 A 250 V (fast blow),
UL Listed and CSA Certified type.

WARNING! SHOCK HAZARD! Dangerous voltages are present on some components and printed wiring traces.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 15 A per terminal on TB2. The load current should be evenly divided among all eight
terminals to prevent excessive pwb temperatures.

SL Power Electronics Corp. will not be liable for the safety, reliability or performance of these power supplies if a) any changes, modifications or repairs are carried out by other than
authorized agents of SL Power Electronics Corp., or b) the installation of the supply is not in accordance with these installation instructions and the applicable UL, CSA, IEC and/or
EN safety standards.
