SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

 

WARNING 

 

The following precautions must be observed to 
help prevent electric shock. 

 

1.

 

Use  only  a  polarized  3-wire  ac  outlet.  This  assures  that  the 
power supply chassis and case are connected to a good earth 
g r o u n d   a n d   reduces danger from electrical shock. 

 
2.

 

There is little danger of electric shock from the power supply 
output,  which  produces  a  maximum  of  14.0  volts  dc. 

However, there may be great danger of electrical shock if the 
power  supply  output  is  connected  to  an  external  high 
voltage.

  Some  equipment  being  powered  may  contain  high 

voltage  and  present  a  shock  hazard.  Observe  caution.  If  the 
power supply output is floated (referenced to a voltage rather 
than  earth  ground)  turn  off  the  power  supply  and  the 
equipment  under  test  when  making  connections.  Never  float 
the  power  supply  to  a  potential  greater  than  100  volts  peak 
with respect to earth ground. 

 
3.

 

Observe all TEST INSTRUMENT SAFETY precautions 
listed in the front of this manual. 

 

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS 

 

CAUTION 

 

The following precautions will help avoid 

damage to the power supply. 

1.

 

Avoid  using  the  power  supply  in  ambient  temperatures 
above  +40°C  (104°F).  Always  allow  sufficient  air  space 
around the fan opening at the rear of the power supply and 
the  top  and  side  vent  openings  for  effective  air  flow  to 
prevent internal heat build-up. Typically, a two inch space 
at the sides, as well as a six inch space at the top and rear 
of  the  power  supply  is  adequate.  DO  NOT  block  the  fan 
opening at the rear of the power supply or the vent on top 
of  the power  supply.  DO NOT  place  objects  on top of  the 
power supply. 

 
2.

 

Although  the  power  supply  is  protected  against  overload 
and short circuits, avoiding these conditions in regular use 
results in maximum stability and reliability. 

 
3.

 

Make  certain  that  hook-up  is  as  intended  before  turning 
power  supply  on.  Incorrect  polarity  may  damage  the 
equipment being powered. 

 

POWER SUPPLY HOOK-UP and OPERATION 

 

1.

 

Turn off the power supply and equipment being powered.
