SAFETY SUMMARY
This power source contains high voltage and current circuits which are potentially lethal. Because of its
size and weight, mechanical stability must be ensured. The following safety guidelines must be followed
when operating or servicing this equipment. These guidelines are not a substitute for vigilance and
common sense. California Instruments assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
1. Verify the correct voltage that applied to the unit (for example 240V).
2. The chassis and cabinet of this power source must be grounded to minimize shock hazard. A chassis
ground is provided at the input terminal block. This is located at the back of the cabinet on the lower
right hand side. The chassis ground must be connected to an electrical ground through an insulated
wire of sufficient gauge.
FUSES
Use only fuses of the specified current, voltage, and protection speed (slow blow, normal blow, fast blow) rating.
Do not short out the fuse holder or use a repaired fuse.
DO NOT OPERATE IN A VOLATILE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the power source in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
DO NOT TOUCH ENERGIZED CIRCUITS
Disconnect the power cable before servicing this equipment. Even with the power cable disconnected, high
voltage can still exist on some circuits. Discharge these voltages before servicing. Only qualified service
personnel may remove covers, replace components or make adjustments.
DO NOT SERVICE ALONE
Do not remove covers, replace components, or make adjustments unless another person, who can administer first
aid, is present.
DO NOT EXCEED INPUT RATINGS
Do not exceed the rated input voltage or frequency. Additional hazards may be introduced because of
component failure or improper operation.
DO NOT MODIFY INSTRUMENT OR SUBSTITUTE PARTS
Do not modify this instrument or substitute parts. Additional hazards may be introduced because of component
failure or improper operation.
MOVING THE POWER SOURCE
When moving the power source, observe the following:
Use two people to prevent injury.
SURFACE STABILITY
1. Operate the power source only on a level surface.
2. Verify that the floor will support the weight of the power source.
