Safety Instructions - TDK-Lambda Genesys GEN8-300 User Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
The following safety precaution must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair
of this equipment. Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in this document
violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this equipment and may
impair the built-in protections within.
TDK-Lambda Ltd. shall not be liable for user's failure to comply with these requirements.
INSTALLATION CATEGORY
The Genesys TM power supply series has been evaluated to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II.
Installation category (over voltage category) II: local level, appliances, portable equipment etc.. With
smaller transient over voltage than Installation Category (over voltage category) III.
GROUNDING
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must
be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC power supply
mains through a three conductor power cable for Single Phase models and through a four conductor
power cable for Three Phase models with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet.
For instruments designed to be hard-wired to the supply mains, the protective earth terminal must
be connected to the safety electrical ground before another connection is made. Any interruption of
the protective ground conductor, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a
potential shock hazard that might cause personal injury.
There is a potential shock hazard at the RS232/485 and the IEEE ports when using power supplies
with rated or combined voltage greater than 400V and the Positive Output of the Power Supply is
grounded. Do Not connect the Positive Output to ground when using the RS232/485 or IEEE.
FUSES
Fuses must be changed by authorized
protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse. Refer to
maintenance instructions in chapter 9 for fuses rating.
TM
The Genesys power supply units have fuses in all supply conductots. To prevent potential risk of
hazard during servicing, the unit shall be fully disconnected from the supply.
INPUT RATINGS
Do not use AC supply which exceeds the input voltage and frequency rating of this instrument. The
input voltage and frequency rating of the Genesys power supply series is:190-240V~, 50/60Hz for
Three Phase 200V models and 380-415V~, 50/60Hz for Three Phase 400V models. For safety
reasons, the mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed +/-10% of nominal voltage.
LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove the instrument cover. No internal adjustment or component
replacement is allowed by non-TDK-Lambda Ltd. qualified personnel. Never replace components with
power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove
external voltage source before touching components.
PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS & MODIFICATIONS
Parts substitutions and modifications are allowed by authorized
only. For repairs or modifications, the instrument must be returned to
TDK-Lambda Ltd.
