What to do if there are high voltages in California Instruments AC Power Distribution?
If personnel fail to observe safety precautions, voltages up to 480 VAC and 450 VDC are present in certain sections of this California Instruments AC Power Distribution source, and death on contact may result. Therefore, do not touch electronic circuits when power is applied.
What to do if I get internal capacitors discharge warning on California Instruments BPS?
If you get a warning about internal capacitors discharge in your California Instruments AC Power Distribution unit, wait 10 minutes for all internal capacitors to discharge.
How to check fuses in California Instruments AC Power Distribution?
If you suspect a blown fuse in your California Instruments AC Power Distribution unit, use an ohmmeter to check the input fuses F1 through F6 for continuity.
