OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Use only a polarized 3- wire ac outlet. This assures that the power supply chassis, case, and ground terminal are connected to a good earth ground and reduces danger from electrical shock.

There is little danger of electrical shock from the power supply output, which produces a maximum of 30 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.

EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS

Avoid using the power supply in ambient temperatures above +40° C. Always allow sufficient air space around the heat sink at the rear of the power supply for effective radiation to prevent internal heat build- up.

Although the power supply is protected against reverse polarity damage, the circuit being powered may not include such protection. Always carefully observe polarity; incorrect polarity may damage the equipment under test.

11

Do not exceed the voltage rating of the circuit being powered. Many transistors and integrated circuits will not withstand voltage of 30 volts.

There is no need to worry about voltage spikes or overshoot damaging the equipment under test. The voltage between the output terminals of the power supply never exceeds the preset value as the POWER switch is turned on or off.

HOOK- UP

1.Turn off the power supply and the equipment to be powered during hook- up.

2.Connect the positive polarity of the device being powered to the red (+) terminal of the power supply.

3.Connect the negative polarity of the device being powered to the black (-) terminal of the power supply.

4.Fig. 3 illustrates the grounding possibilities.

a.If the negative polarity of the equipment or circuit being powered is also the chassis or common, it may be

grounded to earth by strapping the black (-) terminal to the green ( ) terminal as shown in Fig. 3A.

b.Similarly, the positive polarity can be grounded by strapping the red (+) terminal to the green ( ) terminal as shown in Fig. 3B.
