Summary of Warnings and Cautions

The following general warning and cautions are applicable to this instrument:

WARNING

Before operating the Model 350B Temperature Controllers, please read and
understand all of Section 1.

WARNING

Do not attempt to operate this equipment if there is evidence of shipping
damage or there is reason to suspect the unit is damaged. Damaged
equipment may present additional hazards to the user. Contact Newport
technical support for advice before attempting to plug in and operate
damaged equipment.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, connect the instrument to properly earth-grounded,
3-prong receptacles only. Failure to observe this precaution can result in
severe injury.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the instrument, turn the
power switch off and disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse.

WARNING

Before cleaning the enclosure of the Model 350B Temperature Controllers,
the AC power cord must be disconnected from the wall socket.

CAUTION

Make sure that the selector is set at the position that corresponds to the
mains voltage. Follow directions in section 4.2.4 to properly set tumbler.

CAUTION

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Model 350B Temperature
Controllers. Work performed by persons not authorized by Newport
Corporation will void the warranty. For instructions on obtaining warranty
repair or service, please refer to Section 8.

CAUTION

All units are factory preset to operate at 108-132VAC, 60Hz.
