THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment i
n a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC WARNING
Modifications not expressly approved by manufacturer could void the user authority to ope
rate the
equipment under FCC Rules.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
The following safety precaution must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of
this equipment. Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in this document violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this equipment and may impair the built-
in protections within.
TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. shall not be liable for user’s failure to comply with these requirements.
INSTALLATION CATEGORY
The GenesysTM power supply series has been evaluated to INSTALLATION CATEGORY II.
Installation category (over voltage category) II: local level, appliances, portable equipment etc. With
smaller transient over voltage than Installation Category (over voltage category) III.
GROUNDING
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis must
be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC power supply
mains through a three conductor power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical
ground (safety ground) at the power outlet.
For instruments designed to be hard-wired to the supply mains, the protective earth terminal must be
connected to the safety electrical ground before another connection is made. Any interruption of the
protective ground conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential
shock hazard that might cause personal injury.
WARNING
OUTPUT TERMINALS GROUNDING
There is a potential shock hazard at the RS232/RS485/LAN and the IEEE
ports when using power supplies with rated or combined voltage greater
than 400V and the Positive Output of the Power Supply is grounded.
Do Not connect the Positive Output to ground when using the
RS232/RS485/LAN or IEEE.
FUSES
Fuses must be changed by authorized TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. service personnel only. For
continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.
INPUT RATINGS
Do not use AC supply, which exceeds the input voltage and frequency rating of this instrument. The
input voltage and frequency rating of the GenesysTM power supply series has three input ranges
depending on the model type ordered. Ranges are 180-253 Vac/360-440 Vac/432-528 Vac, 50-60Hz.
For safety reasons, the mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed above voltage range.
LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove the instrument cover. No internal adjustment or component
replacement is allowed by non-TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. qualified personnel. Never replace
components with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge
circuits and remove external voltage source before touching components.
PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS & MODIFICATIONS
Parts substitutions and modifications are allowed by authorized TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. service
personnel only. For repairs or modifications, the instrument must be returned to an authorized TDK-
Lambda Americas Inc. service facility.
