4 Input Voltage/Current Range

¡

If you use a non-regulated power source for input, please check 
and make sure that its voltage fluctuation range and ripple voltage 
do not exceed the input voltage range shown in specifications.

¡

Please select an input power source with enough capacity, taking 
into consideration of the start-up current (Ip), which flows when a 
DC-DC converter starts up.

5 Cleaning

¡

If you need to clean the unit, please clean it under the following 
conditions.
  Cleaning Method: lmmersion, Ultrasonic or Vapor Cleaning
  Cleaning agent: IPA (Solvent type)
  Cleaning Time:  Within total 2 minutes for lmmersion, ultrasonic 

and vapor cleaning

¡

Please dry the unit sufficiently after cleaning.

¡

If you do ultrasonic cleaning, please keep the ultrasonic output at 
15W/  or below.

6 Safety Standards

¡

To apply for a safety standard approval using the power supply, 
please meet the following conditions. Please contact us for details.

¿

Please use the unit as a component of an end device.

¿

Reinforced insulation (250 VAC or less) is provided between the 

input and output of this power supply. Limited to use when the in-
put voltage of the device is 250 VAC or less.

¿

Safety approved fuse must be externally installed on input side.

¿

MH series has 2MOOP medical isolation grade.

¡

If the distance between the output and the load is long and there-
fore noise is created on the load side, connect a capacitor exter-
nally to the load as shown below.

Operation

3.1 Series Operation

¡

Series operation is available by connecting the outputs of two or 
more power supplies, as shown below. Output current in series 
connection should be lower than the lowest rated current in each 
unit.
