Safety Considerations
This power supply is a Safety Class I instrument, which means that it has a protective
earth terminal. That terminal must be connected to earth ground through a power
source with a 3-wire ground receptacle.
Before installation or operation, check the power supply and review this manual for
safety markings and instructions. Safety information for specific procedures is located
at the appropriate places in this manual. See also ‘‘
Safety ’’ at the beginning of this
manual for general safety information.
