General Safety Guidelines
xMB-9640
5
•
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the xMB-9640 input connector
or chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance
equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
•
In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chas-
sis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS
TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user
must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that
any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
•
This xMB-9640 is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the xMB-9640 by a person responsible for their safety.

If you are uncertain as to the type of battery you are attempting to charge, or the
correct procedure for checking the battery’s state of charge, contact the seller or battery
manufacturer.
1.2 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the xMB-9640 manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
