Section 1: Safety Warnings
WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK THE POWER CORD PROTECTIVE GROUNDING
CONDUCTOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO GROUND. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
PERSONEL.
Thorlabs provides the proper power input cable with each MC1000A for use in the United States. If using this unit
anywhere else, the user will need to supply a properly grounded power cable to power the unit. If something should go
wrong with the unit, do not attempt to fix. Call a Thorlabs representative and arrange for repair. The unit should never be
opened unless changing the fuse or line voltage as described in Section 5.
WARNING: THE UNIT MUST BE POWERED OFF, UNPLUGGED FROM THE AC INPUT POWER
SOURCE, AND DISCONNECTED FROM ALL EXTERNAL DEVICES BEFORE REMOVING THE
COVER AND REPLACING THE FUSE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO
THE USER SINCE HIGH VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN THE UNIT.
Thorlabs ships all units configured to operate in the United States (i.e. line voltage 115VAC, 60Hz and 250mA fuse
installed). It may be necessary to change the line voltage to 230VAC and replace the fuse with a 125mA Slow Blo fuse.
Care must be taken when configuring the unit. See Section 5 for complete details.
