Safety Guidelines

The beginning of the power supply Operating Manual has a Safety Summary page. Be sure you are familiar with the information on that page before programming the power supply for operation from a controller.

ENERGY HAZARD. Power supplies with high output currents (such as the Series 668xA/669xA) can provide more than 240 VA at more than 2 V. If the output connections touch, severe arcing may occur resulting in burns, ignition or welding of parts. Take proper precautions before remotely programming the output circuits.
