Review Safety Information
This power supply is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it has a protective earth terminal. That terminal must
be connected to earth ground through a power source equipped with an earth ground. Refer to the Safety Notices sec-
tion at the beginning of this guide for general safety information. Before installation or operation, check the power sup-
ply and review this guide for safety warnings and instructions. Safety warnings for specific procedures are located at

The environmental conditions of the power supply are documented under Specifications. Basically, the unit should only
be operated indoors in a controlled environment. Do not operate the unit in areas where the ambient temperature
