Safety Symbols
For the safe use and safe maintenance of this product, the followingsymbols
are used throughout this manual and on the precision DC source. Under-
stand the meanings of the symbols and observe the instructions they indi-
cate (the choice of symbols used depends on the precision DC source).
or
Indicates that a high voltage (over 1000 V) is used here. Touching
the part causes a possibly fatal electric shock. If physical contact
is required by your work, start work only after you make sure that
no voltage is output here.
DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if ignored, will
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if ignored,
could result in death or serious injury.

Installation
• When installing products be sure to observe 1.2, ?Precautions in Setup”
described in this manual.
• To avoid electrical shock, connect the protective ground terminal to electrical
ground (safety ground).
• When connecting the power cord to a switchboard, be sure work is performed by
a qualified and licensed electrician or is conducted under the direction of such a
person.
• When installing products with casters, be sure to lock the casters.
Relocation
• Turn off the power switch and then disconnect all cables when relocating the pre-
cision DC source.
• Use two or more persons when relocating the precision DC source which weights
more than 20 kg. The weight of the precision DC sources can be found on the
rear panel of the precision DC source and/or in this operation manual.
• Use extra precautions such as using more people when relocating into or out of
present locations including inclines or steps. Also handle carefully when relocat-
ing tall products as they can fall over easily.
• Be sure the operation manual be included when the precision DC source is relo-
cated.
Operation
• Check that the AC input voltage setting and the fuse rating are satisfied and that
there is no abnormality on the surface of the power cord. Be sure to unplug the
power cord or stop applying power before checking.
• If any abnormality or failure is detected in the precision DC sources, stop using it
immediately. Unplug the power cord or disconnect the power cord from the
switchboard. Be careful not to allow the precision DC source to be used before it
is completely repaired.
• For output wiring or load cables, use connection cables with larger current capac-
ity.
• Do not disassemble or modify the precision DC source. If it must be modified,
contact Kikusui distributor/agent.
Maintenance and checking
• To avoid electrical shock, be absolutely sure to unplug the power cord or stop
applying power before performing maintenance or checking.
• Do not remove the cover when performing maintenance or checking.
• To maintain performance and safe operation of the precision DC source, it is rec-
ommended that periodic maintenance, checking, cleaning, and calibration be
