Operational Precautions; Safety Information - SCP SCIENCE DigiPREP Service Manual

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

DigiPREP HT must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire
for electrical current. DigiPREP HT is supplied with
an umbilical cord that has a ground wire that is
connected through the controller to earth ground.
Ensure that the plug is plugged into an outlet that
has been properly installed and grounded. Consult
a qualifi ed electrician if there is any doubt about the
existence of proper grounding at the outlet.
DigiPREP HT is designed to be lifted from
the bottom only. Ensure that the controller is
disconnected prior to moving the system. Do not at-
tempt to lift the system by the top white trim or the 'U'
channel as damage may result.
