Specific Precautions
Observe all of the following precautions to ensure your personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the PS280 or PS283Laboratory DC Power Supply or
equipment connected to it.
Do Not Perform Service While Alone
Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this product unless another
person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Use Care When Servicing With Power On
Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this product. To avoid personal
injury, do not touch exposed connections or components while power is on.
Disconnect power before removing protective panels, soldering, or replacing
components.
Power Source
The PS280 or PS283 Laboratory DC Power Supply is intended to operate from
a power source that will not apply more than 250 V rms between the supply
conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A protective
ground connection, through the grounding conductor in the power
cord,
is
essential for safe system operation.
Grounding the power supply
The PS280 or PS283 Laboratory DC Power Supply is grounded through the
power
cord.
To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired
receptacle where earth ground has been verified by a qualified service person.
Do this before making connections to the output terminals of the Laboratory DC
Power Supply. -
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the PS280 or PS283
Laboratory DC Power Supply are potential shock hazards. This includes knobs
and controls that may appear to be insulators.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only a
power cord that is in good condition.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your
prod-
uct, and which is identical in type, voltage rating, and current rating.
