2.4 Safety Notices
SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the instrument. Pacific Power Source assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
WARNING: CLASS 1 INSTRUMENT
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). The
protective features of this product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in the
operation instructions.
AVERTISSEMENT: APPAREIL CLASSE 1
Cet produit est un appareil Classe 1 (avec terre de protection). Les dispositifs de sécurité de ce
produit peuvent être altérés si le produit est utilisé d´une manière non spécifiée dans le manuel
d´utilisation.
WARNING: ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2
environments only. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of 80% for
temperatures up to 31 °C, decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C and at altitudes of
up to 2000 meters. Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and
ambient operating temperature range.
AVERTISSEMENT: CONDITIONS ENVIRONNEMENTALES
Cet appareil est destiné à une utilisation intérieure dans une installation de catégorie II, degré de
pollution 2. Il est conçu pour fonctionner sous humidité relative maximale de 80%, pour des
températures allant jusqu´à 31°C, diminuant linéairement jusqu´à 50% d´humidité relative à 40°C
et à des altitudes allant jusqu´à 2000 m. Se reporter aux tableaux de spécifications pour les
exigences en terme de tension secteur et plage de temperature ambiante de fonctionnement.

ADF Series Power Source Operation Manual Page 16 of 349
CAUTION: BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product AC input specifications noted on the model tag matches the available
utility line voltage and frequency.
ATTENTION: AVANT DE METTRE SOUS TENSION
Vérifier que les spécifications de tension d´alimentation de l´équipement notées sur l´étiquette
sont bien compatibles avec la tension et fréquence secteur disponibles.
SAFETY NOTICE: GROUNDING
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). To
minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis or cabinet must be connected to an electrical
safety ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC power supply mains through a
properly rated three phase power cable with protective earth (L1-L2-L3-E). Any interruption of
the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause
a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
This instrument may be equipped with a line filter to reduce electromagnetic interference and
must be properly grounded to minimize electric shock hazard. Operation at line voltages or
frequencies in excess of those stated on the model type plate may cause leakage currents in
excess of 5.0 mA peak.
REGLE DE SECURITE: MISE A LA TERRE
Ce produit est un équipement de Classe 1 (muni d´une borne de mise à la terre). Pour minimiser
le risque de choc électrique, le châssis de l´appareil ou de l´armoire/rack doit impérativement
être relié à une terre de sécurité électrique. L´appareil doit être branché sur le secteur
d'alimentation électrique à courant alternatif par un câble d'alimentation triphasé approprié avec
terre de protection (L1-L2-L3-PE). Toute interruption de la mise à la terre de protection ou de
déconnexion de la borne de terre causera un risque de choc électrique qui pourrait entraîner des
blessures.
Cet appareil peut être équipé d'un filtre secteur pour réduire les interférences
électromagnétiques et doit être correctement mis à la terre afin de minimiser le risque de choc
électrique. Le fonctionnement sous tensions et fréquences supérieures à celles indiquées sur
l´étiquette peut provoquer des courants de fuite de plus de 5,0 mA peak.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
AVERTISSEMENT: NE PAS UTILISER SOUS ATMOSPHERE
EXPLOSIVE
Ne pas faire fonctionner l´appareil en presence de gaz ou vapeurs inflammables.
WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with
power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the
power cable removed. This includes the AC Input terminals which may have residual voltage due
to internal charged capacitors that have no discharge path. To avoid injuries, always disconnect
power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
After disconnecting grid power, ALWAYS wait at least 1 minute, then use a Digital Voltmeter
(DMM) in VDC Mode to check for any residual DC voltage from each Line terminal to the Chassis
ground stud to check for safe voltage levels (< 5 Vdc) before touching the unit or any terminal
blocks or pins.
AVERTISSEMENT: TENIR A l´ECART DE CIRCUITS SOUS TENSION
Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas retirer les capots de l'appareil. Le remplacement des composants
et les ajustements internes doivent être et ne peuvent être effectués que par un personnel
qualifié. Ne pas remplacer les composants avec câble d'alimentation connecté sur le secteur. Sous
certaines conditions, des tensions dangereuses peuvent exister même avec le câble
d'alimentation retiré. Ceci inclut les bornes d'entrée CA qui peuvent avoir une tension résiduelle
due aux condensateurs chargés internes. Pour éviter les blessures, toujours débrancher le cable
d´alimentation, décharger les circuits électriques et débrancher les sources de tension externes
avant de toucher les composants.
Après avoir débranché l'alimentation du réseau, attendez TOUJOURS au moins 1 minute, puis
utilisez un voltmètre numérique (DMM) en mode VDC pour vérifier toute tension CC résiduelle
de chaque borne de ligne sur le plot de masse du châssis pour vérifier les niveaux de tension
sécurisés (<5 Vcc) avant de toucher l’unité ou des borniers ou des broches.
