SAFETY NOTICE
Before applying power to the system, verify that the power supply is configured properly for the user’s
particular application.
WARNING!
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES IN EXCESS OF 280 VRMS, 600V PEAK MAY BE
PRESENT WHEN COVERS ARE REMOVED. QUALIFIED PERSONNEL MUST
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. CIRCUIT
BOARDS, TEST POINTS, AND OUTPUT VOLTAGES MAY BE FLOATING
ABOVE (BELOW) CHASSIS GROUND.
Installation and service must be performed by qualified personnel who are aware of dealing with attendant
hazards. This includes such simple tasks as fuse verification.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the unit input connector or chassis.
Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must
be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting the
input/output power cables.
During normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the
chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES
HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be generated normally on the output terminals.
Ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated. To guard against risk of electrical
shock during open cover checks, do not touch
any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when the power is
off, capacitors can retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid
personal injury by any sudden failure of a component.
Due to filtering, the unit has high leakage current to the chassis. Therefore, it is essential to operate this unit
with a safety ground.
Some circuits are live even with the front panel switch turned off. Service, front panel filter removal
(if applicable), fuse verification, and connection of wiring to the chassis must be accomplished at
least five minutes
after power has been removed via external means; all circuits and/or terminals to
be touched must be safety grounded to the chassis.
After the unit has been operating for some time, the metal near the rear of the unit may be hot enough to
cause injury. Let the unit cool before handling.
Qualified service personnel need to be aware that some heat sinks are not at ground, but at high potential.
These operating instructions form an integral part of the equipment and must be available to the operating
personnel at all times. All the safety instructions and advice notes are to be followed.
Neither Sorensen, San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any
responsibility for personal, material or consequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of
the equipment and accessories.
