1.2 Safety Information
A
Warning
identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user.
A
Caution
identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the
equipment under test.
Warnings
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
To ensure safety only authorized and
properly trained personnel may use the
Product and its accessories and only for
their intended purpose.
Read all safety information before you use
the Product.
Carefully read all instructions.
Do not use this Product around explosive
gas, vapor, or in damp, wet or dusty
environments.
Do not use the Product where access to the
mains power cord is blocked.
Use only the mains power cord and
connector approved for the voltage and
plug configuration in your country and rated
for the Product.
Make sure the ground conductor in the
mains power cord is connected to a
protective earth ground. Disruption of the
protective earth could put voltage on the
chassis that could cause death.
Replace the mains power cord if the
insulation is damaged or if the insulation
shows signs of wear.
Examine the case before you use the
Product. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Carefully look at the insulation around the
terminals.
Do not connect to live output terminals. The
Product can supply voltages that can cause
death. Standby mode is not sufficient to
prevent electrical shock.
Before changing the fuse, turn the Product
off and remove the mains power cord. Stop
for two minutes to let the power assemblies
discharge before you open the fuse door.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage,
between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
Never connect the Product current output
terminals to a voltage source other than the
Product voltage output terminals.
Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V
ac peak, or 60 V dc.
Use only cables with correct voltage
ratings.
Use extreme caution around the output
terminals. Lethal voltages may be present.
Use special (included) plugs that make a
firm, secure connection to the Product’s
output binding posts. This is especially true
for the current terminals, which can output
120 A and cause self-heating with loose
fitting plugs.
Inspect the output binding posts prior to
use. Repair broken or loose output binding
posts before use.
Make sure the Product is in standby mode
and external circuits are not energized
before you connect or disconnect cables
between the Product and the equipment
under test.
Do not enable voltage outputs unless the
cables between the Product and equipment
under test are connected or disconnected at
both ends of the cable.
Do not connect any connector or terminal,
other than the mains power inlet, to line
power.
Whenever it is likely that safety protection
has been impaired, the Product must be
made inoperative and secured against any
unintended
operation.
Inform
qualified
maintenance or repair personnel. Safety
protection is likely to be impaired if, for
example, the Product shows visible damage
or fails to operate normally.
Use the Product only as specified, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
Do not operate the product with covers
removed or the case open. Hazardous
voltage exposure is possible.
