Shorting
The RST050 incorporates an output current limit circuit to limit current to a safe limit
under output short-circuit conditions. The battery cells used in the RST050 however,
have very low internal impedance and thus are capable of delivering high currents if
externally short circuited should the current limit mechanism fail. The resultant heat
can cause severe burns and is a potential fire hazard. Particular caution should be
used when the person working near the open connector terminals of the RST050,
such as during installation, is wearing metal rings or watchbands.
Inadvertently placing these metal articles across the connector terminals could result
in severe skin burns. It is a good practice to remove all metallic items such as
watches, bracelets and personal jewelry when working on or around the RST050
output connections.
As a further precaution, when installing the RST050, insulating gloves should be
worn and only insulated tools should be used to prevent accidental short circuits.
