Safety 

This power supply is a Safety Class I instrument according to IEC classification and has been 
designed to meet the requirements of EN61010-1 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment 
for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use). It is an Installation Category II instrument 
intended for operation from a normal single phase supply. 

This instrument has been tested in accordance with EN61010-1 and has been supplied in a safe 
condition. This instruction manual contains some information and warnings which have to be 
followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the instrument in a safe condition. 

This instrument has been designed for indoor use in a Pollution Degree 2 environment in the 
temperature range 5

°

C to 40

°

C, 20% - 80% RH (non-condensing). It may occasionally be 

subjected to temperatures b5° and -10°C without degradation of its safety.  Do not 
operate while condensation is present. 

Use of this instrument in a manner not specified by these instructions may impair the safety 
protection provided. Do not operate the instrument outside its rated supply voltages or 
environmental range.  

WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED 

Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the 
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. The protective action must not be 
negated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor.  

When the instrument is connected to its supply, terminals may be live and opening the covers or 
removal of parts (except those to which access can be gained by hand) is likely to expose live 
parts. The apparatus shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened for any 
adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Capacitors inside the power supply may still be 
charged even if the power supply has been disconnected from all voltage sources but will be 
safely discharged about 10 minutes after switching off power. 

Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened instrument under voltage shall be avoided 
as far as possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of 
the hazard involved. 

If the instrument is clearly defective, has been subject to mechanical damage, excessive moisture 
or chemical corrosion the safety protection may be impaired and the apparatus should be 
withdrawn from use and returned for checking and repair. 

Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for 
replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders is prohibited. 

Do not wet the instrument when cleaning it. 

The following symbols are used on the instrument and in this manual:-
