OTHER DO’S AND DONT’S

Do not insert any object, particularly metallic, through the ventilator slots

Avoid any use of liquids near the equipment. Protect the unit from wet, damp and
condensation.

Do not connect power sources to equipment under power, sparking may occur which
can cause burns as well as damage to the equipment and to the source.

ESD regulations must be applied when plugging interface cards or modules into the
relative slot

Interface cards or modules may only be attached or removed after the unit is
switched off. It is not necessary to open the unit.

Do not connect external power sources with reversed polarity to DC input or
outputs! The equipment will be damaged.

Do not connect a power source to the DC input which can generate a voltage more
than 120% of the nominal input voltage of the load. The equipment is not protected
against over voltage and may be irreparably damaged.

Never insert a network cable which is connected to Ethernet or its components into
the master- slave socket on the back of the unit!

Always configure the various protecting features against overvoltage etc. for
sensitive loads to what the target application requires!
2.7 Intended Usage
This equipment is intended to be used only as a variable current sink (programmable DC
load). Typical applications for a DC Load is as a replacement of a Resistive load with an
adjustable DC current sink in order to load relevant voltage sources of any type.

Claims of any sort due to damage caused by non-intended usage will not be
accepted.

All damage caused by non-intended usage is the sole responsibility of the operator.
