SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.2 Additional Installation, Operation and Maintenance Hazard Symbols

READ OPERATING MANUAL
Read and follow all Power Source labels
and the Operating Manual carefully
before installing, operating, or servicing
the Power Source.
 Read the safety information at the begin-
ning of the manual and in each section.

Perform installation, maintenance and
service according to the Operating Manu-
al, industry standards and national, state
and local codes.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION can cause fire
Improper equipment installation can
cause fire.
 Do not install or place Power Source on,
over, or near combustible surfaces.

Do not install Power Source near flamma-
bles.

Do not overload building wiring − be sure Input Power Supply
system is properly sized, rated and protected to handle this Power
Source.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components
Touching/handling electronic compo-
nents or PC Boards without fitting a
ground wrist strap can damage these
parts.

Put on grounded wrist strap before touch-
ing/handling electronic components or PC
Boards.
 Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store, move, or ship
electronic components or PC Boards.
FALLING EQUIPMENT can injure
Use designated lifting device on power
source to lift the power source only,
NOT cart/running gear, gas cylinders, or
any other accessories.

Use lifting equipment of adequate capacity
to lift and support power source.
 If using lift forks to move power source, be sure forks are long
enough to extend beyond opposite side of power source.
 Keep cables and Power Cords away from moving vehicles when
working from an aerial location.
 Follow the guidelines in the
Applications Manual for the Revised
NIOSH Lifting Equation
[DHHS (NOISH) Publication No. 94−110]
when manually lifting heavy parts or Power Source.
ARC WELDING and HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) RADIATION can
cause interference
Arc Welding and HF radiation produces
electromagnetic energy/radio frequen-
cies that can interfere with sensitive
electronic equipment.

Electronics that can be affected are
radios, computers, safety services, tele-
communication equipment and comput-
HF
er-driven equipment such as robots.

Be sure all equipment in the welding area
is electromagnetically compatible.
Operating Manual No: PWOM-215/250MP-001
 Have only Suitably Trained and Qualified Tradesperson familiar
with electronic equipment install this equipment.
 The user is responsible for having a Suitably Trained and Qualified
Tradesperson promptly correct any interference problem resulting
from the installation.
 If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the equipment
immediately.
 Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.
 Keep spark gaps at correct setting (if applicable) and use ground-
ing and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
 To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as
possible, close together and down low, such as on the floor.
 Locate welding operation 300 ft from any sensitive electronic
equipment.
 Be sure this Power Source is installed and grounded according to
this manual.
 If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such
as moving the Power Source, using shielded cables, using line
filters, or shielding the work area.
