Important installation information
The VCCS300 series of open frame power supplies are intended for use within end customer applications which restrict access to un-authorized personnel. The
instructions in this manual and all warning labels on the product must be adhered to carefully.
SAFETY
The VCCS300S and VCCS300M series are designed in accordance with the relevant safety requirements of IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1, IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60601-1, Low
voltage Directive LVD 2014/35/EU and EMC directive EMC 2014/30/EU.
All VCCS300 series power supplies must be installed correctly in a controlled environment which restricts access to any un-authorised personnel. Equipment and
system manufacturers must protect service personnel against unintentional contact with the output terminals.
HAZZARDS
Dangerous voltages are present within the power supply. It should only be handled by qualified personnel when the power supply has been disconnected from the
mains supply voltage for more than 3 minutes.
External surfaces of the power supply may become extremely hot during and after operation. Appropriate care should be taken.
If series and/or parallel combinations of outputs exceed safe voltage and/or energy levels, the final equipment manufacturer must provide the appropriate protection
for both users and service personnel.
DE-RATINGS
Mains Voltage
The output power must be de-rated by 2.5W/V

Thermal
The output power must be de-rated as outlined in the “Power Ratings” section of the user manual.
Remember to take the appropriate de-rating into consideration before specifying any VCCS300 power supply for an application. If in any doubt, please contact Vox
Power directly or your local Vox Power representative.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
To comply with section 6 of the health and safety at work act, a label that is clearly visible to service personnel must be placed on the final equipment. These labels
warn that surfaces of the power supply may be hot and should not be touched when the product is operating.
FUSING

Fuses are not replaceable. Damaged units should be returned to Vox Power for analysis and repair.
DC operation is not covered by safety approvals. Contact Vox Power for details.
SERVICING
The power supply contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs must be carried out by authorised personnel only. Contact Vox Power for further information.
COOLING
For proper operation of the power supply, the user must ensure all component temperatures are within specifications. A thorough review of the user manual should
be carried out for details of thermal performance.
EARTH TERMINAL MARKING (Class I installations only)
To comply with the requirements of IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1, & IEC/EN/UL/CSA 60601-1, where the incoming wiring earth is intended for connection as the main
protective earth conductor and where the terminals for such a connection is not supplied on a component or subassembly, the user shall add an appropriate label
displaying a protective earth symbol in accordance with IEC60417-5019 (2006-08) directly adjacent to the terminal. The label should be durable and legible and should
comply with IEC62368-1 clause F.3.10 Test for durability of Markings and IEC60601-1 clause 7.1.3 Durability of Markings.
CLASS II INSTALLATIONS
To ensure end equipment complies with safety certifciations, the user should carry out a thorough review of the VCCS300 safety certification reports and any
engineering conditions of acceptability contained therein.
A review of the “
Installing your VCCS300 product” section in the user manual should also be carried out.
WARRANTY
Contact your sales agent or Vox Power for product repairs. See Vox Power standard terms and conditions for warranty conditions.
PRODUCT LABELS
The external product label contains information relevant to the power system. The label contains input voltage, maximum input current, input frequency, maximum
output power, fuse rating and type, serial number, approvals and product part number in form VCCS300X-YYYY-ZZZ.
OTHER
•
A label warning that external surfaces are hot during operation and that the unit should be allowed to cool down properly should be placed on the unit
where such a label is clearly visible.
•
