Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: High Energy and High Voltage

Exercise caution when using a power supply. High energy levels can be stored at

the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition,

potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense

connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Filter

capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is

removed.

WARNING

Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes.

To ensure that the power supply's safety features are not compromised, use the

power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any

unauthorized modifications. If service is necessary, please return the power

supply to the factory Authorized Service Center. See “Return Material

Authorization Policy” on page WA–3.

WARNING: Limitations on use

The XG 850W GPIB and Ethernet Interface Option is not intended for use in

connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or device.
