When using the unit in an upright position, take care not to block the openings on the bottom, as it could overheat and be damaged, or cause a fire.
Check the following points before connecting the unit to a power supply: ・The power supply matches the ratings shown above. ・The AC power switch of the 8835-01 and the switch of the 9439 DC POWER ADAPTER are set to OFF.
Page 37
(1) AC power supply WARNING Make sure that the AC power switch of the 8835-01 is set to OFF. 1. Verify that the AC power switch of the 8845 is set to OFF. 2. Plug the grounded three-core power cord supplied into the AC power connector on the right side of the 8835-01.
Page 38
Before making connections, make sure the 9439 DC POWER ADAPTER WARNING is turned off. The 8835-01 could be damaged by a spark if it is connected to a voltage source while its power supply is on. The rated supply voltage of the 9439 DC POWER ADAPTER is 10 to 28 VDC.
Page 39
──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Rated voltage: 10 to 28 V DC ・ This unit is not equipped to charge an external battery. NOTE ・ When using a battery, take care not to deplete it completely. ・ When an overcurrent or overvoltage is detected in the output, this equipment cuts off the output.
・There is no need for the user to manually select AC or DC power. ・When both AC and DC power are connected, AC power has priority. ・When AC power is disconnected (or falls under 90 V), the 8835-01 automatically switches to DC. (If the switch of the 9439 is set to ON, the 8835-01 automatically switches to DC even if AC power is disconnected.)
