1. Safety Precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following European Community Directives:
2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) as amended by
2004/22/EC (CE-Marking).
To ensure safe operation of the equipment and eliminate the danger of serious injury due to
short-circuits (arcing), the following safety precautions must be observed.
Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal
claims whatever.
* Do not use this instrument for high-energy industrial installation measurement.
* Prior to connection of the equipment to the mains outlet, check that the available mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage setting of the equipment.
* Connect the mains plug of the equipment only to a mains outlet with earth connection.
* Do not place the equipment on damp or wet surfaces.
* Do not cover the ventilation slots of the cabinet to ensure that the air is able to circulate
freely inside.
* Do not insert metal objects into the equipment by way of the ventilation slots.
* Do not place water filled containers on the equipment (danger of short-circuit in case of
knock over of the container).
* Do not exceed the maximum permissible input ratings (danger of serious injury and/or
destruction of the equipment).
* Do not exceed maximum load ratings of 40 A (P 1565), 30 A (P 1580), 60 A (P 1570) or
20 A (P 1575), otherwise it may damage the power supply.
* Never use the power supply for the load requiring higher current than the designed value
otherwise it may damage the power supply.
* Replace a defective fuse only with a fuse of the original rating. Never short-circuit fuse or
fuse holding.
* To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions. Conduct
measuring works only in dry clothing and rubber shoes, i. e. on isolating mats.
* Never touch the tips of the test leads or probe.
* Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
* Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or
dampness.
* Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
* Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).
* Never short the remote sensing terminals.
* Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
* Use caution when working with voltages above 35 V DC or 25 V AC. These Voltages pose
shock hazard.
* Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or
solvents.
* The power supply is suitable for indoor use only
* Do not operate the power supply before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely
as terminal can carry voltage.
* Do not store the power supply in a place of explosive, inflammable substances.
* Do not modify the equipment in any way
* Do not place the equipment face-down on any table or work bench to prevent damaging
the controls at the front.
* Opening the equipment and service – and repair work must only be performed by qualified
service personnel
* Measuring instruments don’t belong to children hands.
