1. There is little dange! of electrical shock IroE the dc output of this power
supply. Hoeever, thele ale sevelal other possible test conditions using this
powe! supply that can cleate a high voltage shock hazard;
a. If the equipment utde! test is the "hot chassis,, tvDe. a selious shock
hazard exists unless tbe equipEent is uDplugged (usi turning off the
equipment does aot remove the hazard), o! the plecautions ot Jtep g are
observed.
b. If the equipbeDt under test is "powered upi (arxd that equipEent uses
high voltage in ary of its cilcuits), the polve! supply outputs may be
floated to the potential at the point of connection, Remeober that high
volta_ge Inay appea! at unexpected points in defective equipbeot. Do
llot float tbe po.re! supply output to more tban 100 voit; peak with
lespect to chassis or earth ground.
c. If ttre equiproent under test is ,off', (and tbat equipEent uses high vol_
tage ilr aIly oI its circuits unde! nornra.I opelatiotr), discbalge higb_
voltage capacitors before baking coDnectioDs or tests. SoEe cilcuits
retaiD high voltage long after the equipraeDt is tuDed off,
Z. Use olly a poladzed 3-wi!e ac outlet. This assures that the powe! supply

3. DoD't expose high vottage neetllessly. Remove bousiags aDd covels only whea
neceasaly, T[ra off equipEe[t while Eaking test coDnectioDs in higb-voltage
cilcuits. Discbarge higb-voltage capacitols after reEo\ring powe!.
4. lf possible, faEiliafize youlseu with the equipE ent beiDg testeal and the lc_
