Cautions
WARNING
Describes a potential hazard which could result in injury or death, or, a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in injury or death.
CAUTION
Describes a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in damage to data, equipment, or systems.
Power
Supply
Safety
Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed.
CAUTION
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. To ensure that the power supply’s safety features are not compromised, use the power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any unauthorized modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only.
CAUTION
For Use as a Battery Charger
When you are using any of these power supplies for battery charging applications, it is essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series between the power supply output and the battery.
Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker) rated for about 115% of the maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to interrupt the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate reverse polarity current protection. Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each one, rather than one large fuse for all.
