Physical
Check
After unpacking, perform an initial inspection to ensure the unit and parts shipped with it have
not been damaged in transit. The package should contain the power supply, a manual, one (1)
AC input connector, and five (5) contact pins.
1. Inspect for dents and scratches to the cover and chassis; for scratches and cracks on
the front and rear panels; and for any broken controls, connectors, or displays.
2. Turn front panel controls from stop to stop. Rotation should be smooth.
3. Test the action of the power switch. Switching action should be positive.
4. If internal damage is suspected, remove the cover and check for printed circuit board
and/or component damage. Reinstall cover.
If damage is found to have occurred, save all packing materials and notify the carrier
immediately. Refer to the terms of the warranty. Direct repair problems to the manufacturer.
Note: Section 2.6 Initial Functional Tests
contains electrical and operational tests you can
perform to ensure the unit is in proper working order after shipment. The tests are to be
performed once the AC input connector has been assembled but before the load has
been connected to the power supply.
Location,
Mounting, and Ventilation
The DCS system supply may be used in rack mounted or in benchtop applications. In either
case, sufficient space must be allowed for cooling air to reach the ventilation inlets on the top
and on each side of the unit and for fan exhaust air to exit from the rear of the unit.
