SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of
this equipment . Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in this document violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this equipment and may impair the built-
in protections within.
TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. shall not be liable for user’s failure to comply with these requirements.

INSTALLATION CATEGORY

The Genesys
TM
power supply series has been evaluated to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II. Installation
category (over voltag e category) II: local level, appliances, portable equipment etc. W ith smaller t ran-
sient over voltage than Installation Category (over voltage category) III.

GROUNDING

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must be
connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be c onnected to t he AC power supply mains
through a three conductor power cable, with the ground wire f irmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet.
For instruments designed to be hard-wired to the supply mains, the protective earth terminal must be
connected to the safety electrical ground before another connection is made. Any interruption of the
protective ground conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential
shock hazard that might cause personal injury.

FUSES

Fuses must be chang ed by authorized TDK-Lambda Amer icas Inc. service personnel only. For contin-
ued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse. Refer to Chapter
9 for fuse ratings.

INPUT RATINGS

Do not use AC supply, which exceeds the input voltage and frequency rating of this instrument. The
input voltage and frequency rating of the Genesys
TM
power supply series is: 100-240Vi, 50/60Hz. For
safety reasons, the mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed +/-10% of nominal voltage.

LIVE CIRCUITS

Operating personnel must not remove the instrument cover. No internal adjustment or component r e-
placement is allowed by non-TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. qualif ied personnel. Never replace compo-
nents with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and
remove external voltage source before touching components.

PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS & MODIFICATIONS

Parts subst itutions and modifications are allowed by authorized TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. service
personnel only. For repairs or modifications, t he instrument must be returned to an authorized TDK-
Lambda Americas Inc. service facility.

WARNING

OUTPUT TERMINALS GROUNDING

There is a potential shoc k hazard at the RS232/RS485 and the IEEE ports when using power supplies
with rated or combined voltage greater than 400V and the Positive Output of the Power Supply is
grounded.
Do Not connect the Positive Output to ground when using the RS232/RS485 or IEEE.
