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 Summary page for general safety information. Before installation or operation,
check the power supply and review this guide for safety warnings and instructions. Safety warnings for
specific procedures are located at appropriate places throughout this guide.
SHOCKHAZARD, LETHAL VOLTAGES Many models generate voltages greater than 60
VDC, with some models rated at 950 VDC! Ensure that all instrument connections,
load wiring, and load connections are either insulated or covered using the safety
covers provided, so that no accidental contact with lethal voltages can occur.
Observe Environmental Conditions
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
The environmental conditions for the power supply are documented under RP793xA-RP794xA and
RP795xA-RP796xA common characteristics. Basically, the unit should only be operated indoors in a
controlled environment. Do not operate the unit in areas where the ambient temperature exceeds +55
degrees Celsius. This applies for rack-mounting as well as for bench use.
Provide Adequate Air Flow
Do not block the air intake at the front, or the exhaust at the rear of the instrument.
The dimensions of your power supply as well as an outline diagram are given under RP793xA-
RP794xA and RP795xA-RP796xA dimensions. Fans cool the power supply by drawing air through the
front and exhausting it out the back. The unit must be installed in a location that allows sufficient
space of at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) at the front and back of the unit for adequate air circulation.
Stacking Instruments
Never stack more than three instruments on top of one another in a free-standing
installation.
