SAFETY
The user should be aware of these safety warnings at all times while using the 95x.
WARNING -
THE 95x PRODUCES VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS WHICH MAY BE LETHAL, UNSAFE
OPERATION MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
WARNING -
IF THE 95x IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY VITREK, THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY
THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED AND SAFETY MAY BE COMPROMISED.
POWER AND GROUNDING
WARNING -
THE 95x IS INTENDED TO BE POWERED FROM A POWER CORD HAVING A PROTECTIVE
GROUND WIRE WHICH MUST BE INSERTED INTO A POWER OUTLET HAVING A PROTECTIVE GROUND
TERMINAL. IF THE 95x IS NOT POWERED FROM A SUITABLE POWER SOURCE THEN THE CHASSIS
GROUND TERMINAL LOCATED NEAR THE POWER ENTRY CONNECTOR ON THE REAR PANEL MUST BE
PROTECTIVE GROUNDED.
WARNING -
TURNING OFF OR OTHERWISE REMOVING POWER TO THE 95x WHILE IT IS GENERATING
HIGH VOLTAGES WILL NOT ENABLE THE 95x TO DISCHARGE THE DUT AND MAY DAMAGE THE 95x. THE
DUT MAY HAVE DANGEROUS VOLTAGES PRESENT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AFTER THIS OCCURS.
WARNING -
DO NOT REMOVE THE POWER CORD FROM THE 95x OR FROM THE SOURCE OF POWER
WHILE IT IS OPERATING AT HIGH VOLTAGES. THIS WILL REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE GROUND FROM THE
CHASSIS OF THE 95x AND THE DUT WHICH MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES BEING ACCESSIBLE
TO THE USER.
TERMINALS AND WIRING
WARNING -
THE 95x PRODUCES VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS WHICH MAY BE LETHAL, ENSURE NO
VOLTAGE OR CURRENT IS PRESENT WHEN CONNECTING TO OR DISCONNECTING FROM THE TERMINALS
OR DUT.
The
HIGH VOLTAGE OR HIGH CURRENT PRESENT
warning symbol on the front panel of the 95x is illuminated
whenever an unsafe voltage is present on the
HV
terminal, or a high current is present between the
SOURCE
terminals.
WARNING -
THE 95x PRODUCES VOLTAGES OF UP TO 10kVrms ON THE HV TERMINAL(S). THE USER
MUST ENSURE THAT CONNECTIONS TO THESE TERMINALS HAVE SUFFICIENT INSULATION FOR THESE
VOLTAGES. EVEN WHEN SUFFICIENT INSULATION IS PRESENT, THE USER SHOULD NOT PUT ANY PART OF
THEIR BODY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CONNECTIONS WHILE HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT.
The insulation of the wiring to the
HV
terminal of the 95x must be rated for at least the highest voltage expected
during the test sequence.
The user should ensure that all personnel remain at a safe distance from the
HV
wiring during testing.
