Section I Warnings
Hazardous Voltages
The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MPC may have
voltages that are unsafe. INJURY OR DEATH ON CONTACT may result. Appropriate safety
precautions should be taken. All connections should be made in accordance with LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.
• The MPC CHASSIS should be connected to earth or system ground with Ground Stud on the
rear panel, see mechanical diagrams.
• For the AC INPUT cable and connector:
Do not assume that a hazardous voltage is not present at the terminals of the AC input
Do not make contact with the terminals of the AC input connector.
Always connect the cable to the MPC before it is connected to the source of AC power.
from the MPC.
If the AC input cable is connected to the source of AC power and not connected to the MPC,
do not contact the exposed terminals of the AC input cable.
Do not assume that the source of AC power is not present.
Connections between the AC input cable and the source of AC power should not be
accessible.
• For the AC OUTPUT cable and connector:
Do not assume that a hazardous voltage is not present at the terminals of the AC output
Do not make contact with the terminals of the AC output connector.
Connect the AC output cable to the MPC before the MPC is turned on.
• For the DC INPUT cable and connector (if present):
The rated DC input voltage of the MPC is below the level considered hazardous.
The DC input terminals of the MPC are isolated from the AC input and AC outputs with
However, never assume the terminals of the DC input connector or the wires of the DC input
cable are safe to contact, even if the MPC or DC input source appears to be o.

Hazardous Energies
The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MPC may be the source
of high levels of energy. Do not inappropriately make electrical contact between any terminal of
a connector and another, or between any wire of a cable and another, or between any terminal
or wire and the MPC’s chassis or ground. DAMAGING ELECTRICAL ARCS may result. Care should
be taken to avoid accidental electrical contacts of this sort.
Protecon from the Environment
The SynQor MPC is a ruggedly built product having its electronics contained in sealed chambers.
THESE LEVELS SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED.
Do not obstruct the air intake in the front of the MPC or the fan exhausts in the rear panel of the
No User Serviceable Parts
The SynQor MPC has no user serviceable parts inside of it. DO NOT REMOVE the cover of the
MPC or any of its connectors. Only factory trained personnel should perform repairs.
