SAFETY NOTICE
Before applying power to the system, verify that the MML Series unit is configured properly for the user’s
particular application.
WARNING!
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES IN EXCESS OF 280 VRMS, 600V PEAK MAY BE
PRESENT WHEN COVERS ARE REMOVED. QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MUST
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. CIRCUIT
BOARDS, TEST POINTS, AND OUTPUT VOLTAGES MAY BE FLOATING
ABOVE (BELOW) CHASSIS GROUND.
Installation and service must be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of dealing with attendant
hazards. This includes such simple tasks as fuse verification.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the MML Series unit 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.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting the
input/output power cables.
During normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within
the chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES
HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be generated normally on the output terminals.
Ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated. To guard against risk of electrical
shock during open cover checks, do not touch any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when the power
is off, capacitors can retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid
personal injury by any sudden failure of a component.
Due to filtering, the unit has high leakage current to the chassis. Therefore, it is essential to operate this unit
with a safety ground.
Some circuits are live even with the front panel switch turned off. Service, fuse verification, and
connection of wiring to the chassis must be accomplished at least five minutes after power has been
removed via external means; all circuits and/or terminals to be touched must be safety grounded to
the chassis.
After the unit has been operating for some time, the metal near the rear of the unit may be hot enough to
cause injury. Let the unit cool before handling.
Qualified service personnel need to be aware that some heat sinks are not at ground, but at high potential.
These operating instructions form an integral part of the equipment and must be available to the operating
personnel at all times. All the safety instructions and advice notes are to be followed.
Neither Sorensen, San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations, can accept any
responsibility for personal, material or consequential injury, loss, or damage that results from improper use of
the equipment and accessories.
