  • Page 6: Information, Warnings And Safety Instructions

    Please use the provided power supply only. This is required to meet all design specifications. 1.2.2 Danger – Hazardous Voltage The MCS2 controller described in this manual is capable of generating high output currents at high voltages. They may cause serious or even lethal injury if used improperly. Therefore, the equip- ment should only be operated by personnel that is adequately trained and educated to prevent any improper use.

  • Page 7: Caution - Unpacking

    Insufficient air flow can cause overheating, which can result in a limited functionality of the con- troller. If you are using an OEM version of an MCS2 controller, the controller board must be installed in such a way, that free air convection can be achieved. Insufficient ventilation will cause overheating and premature failure.

  • Page 8: Caution - Connecting Instructions

    Please touch the OEM boards on their edges only during handling and installation. Discharge any static charge on your body by touching a grounded object prior to the handling of the MCS2 controller board. If not installed, place the MCS2 controller boards only on conductive surfaces, such as ESD- safe transport containers (envelopes or foam).
