This evaluation kit is designed for engineering evaluation in a controlled 
lab environment and should be handled by qualified personnel ONLY
High voltage will be exposed on the board during the test and even brief 
contact during operation may result in severe injury or death.  
 
Never leave the board operating unattended. After it is de-energized, 
always wait until all capacitors are discharged before touching the board. 

 

This product contains parts that are susceptible to damage by electrostatic 
discharge (ESD). Always follow ESD prevention procedures when 
handling the product.
