FIRE HAZARD
Due to high power dissipations of the various semiconductors devices
attached to the heatsink, the heatsink may become extremely hot,
especially during periods of continuous operation. Please ensure the
heatsink is not installed on or near any flammable material and that a
cooling fan is ALWAYS used during operation.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR LINE POWERED EQUIPMENT
The electronic kit you purchased utilizes line voltages (115VAC) and also contains
circuitry that produces output voltages in excess of 400VDC. Normally, consumer
electronics equipment are safely enclosed to prevent accidental contact. However, the kit
you have purchased does not come with an enclosure, and must be handled and operated
with this in mind. Voltages exceeding 35V pose a safety hazard and depending on
overall conditions and your general state of health, voltage and current levels have the
ability to serious harm or even kill.
The following guidelines are to protect you from potentially lethal electrical shock
hazards as well as the equipment from accidental damage.
It is also important to note that the danger isn’t limited to only your body providing a
conductive path, namely your heart. Any involuntary muscle contractions caused by an
electrical shock, while perhaps harmless in themselves, may cause the person to be
injured by falling, hitting a body part on something sharp, etc….
The purpose of these set of guidelines is not to frighten you, but rather make you aware
of the appropriate precautions needed to safely build and operate this electronics kit.
Perhaps, the number one rule – Don’t work alone! If something does happen,
it is extremely important to have someone nearby to render assistance or to
call for help.
When working on energized equipment (namely those that are line powered),
always keep one hand in your pocket. This ensures there is not a complete
