Power Source
This product is intended to operate from a power module
connected to a power source that will not apply more than
250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between
either supply conductor and ground. A protective ground
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power
cord is essential for safe operation.
Grounding the Product
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor
of the power module power cord. To avoid electrical shock,
plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before
connecting to the product input or output terminals. A
protective ground connection by way of the grounding con-
ductor in the power module power cord is essential for safe
operation.
Danger Arising From Loss of Ground
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all
accessible conductive parts (including knobs and controls
that may appear to be insulating) can render an electric
shock.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse of correct type,
voltage rating and current rating as specified in the parts list
for your product.
Refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
