The product warranty becomes invalid if the following safety precautions are not followed during handling,

installation, commissioning and general use/operation of Eltek power supply systems.

General Precautions

CAUTION: Even though the product incorporates protection circuitry and other safeguards, it can be damaged, perform poorly or

have a reduced lifetime if it is exposed to incorrect treatment during transport, installation or service. Always handle the equip-

ment using proper lifting techniques, do not roll, climb or drill hole in the cabinets or enclosures.

Device

Hazard

WARNING: Opening the equipment may cause terminal injury — even if the mains AC supply is disconnected. Hazardous voltages

may be present inside, as large capacitors may still be charged.

Electric

Shock

Environmental Precautions

CAUTION: To avoid damage the equipment, keep objects clear of system ventilation inlets, outlets and system fans, if any, ensur-

sss

ing the airﬂ ow through the units is not obstructed, and that the fans rotate freely. Use caution with power modules, as they can

reach extreme temperatures under load and normal operation.

Ventilated

Hot Surface

WARNING: The installer/user is responsible for ensuring that the power system is not damaged by current surges, over-voltages,

etc. caused by external transients, lightning, electrostatic discharge, etc. To avoid damage and obtain the expected system reli-

ability, it is mandatory to always install SPDs in Eltek's power supply systems. Follow the instructions given in "Guidelines for

Current Surge

Protection

Lightning and Surge Protection", doc. 2024623.

WARNING: The electronics in the power supply system are designed for indoor, clean environment. When installed in outdoor

enclosures — using heat sinks or closed loop heat management systems — it is important to maintain the equipment closed and

tight during operation, to avoid external air entering the enclosure. Also, when using open loop heat management systems, it is

Protection

important to replace the ﬁ lters on a regular basis. Indoor installations in dusty or humid areas require appropriate air ﬁ ltering of

the room, or ﬁ ltering of the air entering the power system. Follow the instructions given in "Generic Guidelines Environmental

Protection.", doc. 2038879

Device

Hazard

WARNING: For safety reasons (high leakage current / high touch current) you must always connect the AC earth wire (PE) to the

terminals, before you connect the AC input cable(s).

Electric

The batteries, if any, represent a major energy hazard. To avoid short-circuit of battery poles, you must always remove metallic
