Safety Guidelines
General Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on T3PS36006.
Avoid severe impacts or rough handling that
leads to damaging T3PS36006.
Do not discharge static electricity to T3PS36006.
Do not block or obstruct the cooling fan vent
opening.
Leave a space around T3PS36006, at least 3cm to
the left and right.
Do not perform measurement at circuits directly
connected to Mains (Note below).
Do not disassemble T3PS36006 unless you are
qualified as service personnel.
(Measurement categories) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the
measurement categories and their requirements as follows.
T3PS36006 falls under category I.
Measurement category IV is for measurement performed at the
source of low-voltage installation.
Measurement category III is for measurement performed in the
building installation.
Measurement category II is for measurement performed on the
circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage: 115V/230V ±15%, 50/60Hz
Connect the protective grounding conductor of
the AC power cord to an earth ground, to avoid
electrical shock.
Fuse
WARNING
Fuse type: T10A/250V
Make sure the correct type of fuse is installed
before power up.

T3PS36006 Quick Start Guide
6
To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
Disconnect the power cord before fuse
replacement.
Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before fuse replacement.
Cleaning
T3PS36006
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemical or cleaner containing harsh
material such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and
acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: < 80%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution degrees
and their requirements as follows. T3PS36006 falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Relative Humidity: < 70%
Temperature: −10°C to 70°C

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using T3PS36006 in the United Kingdom, make sure the
power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green/ Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the
colours marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the
Earth terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or
coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or
contact the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and
approved HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the
equipment and/or user instructions for details. As a guide, cable of
0.75mm2should be protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors
would normally require 13A types, depending on the connection
method used.
Any moulded mains connector that requires removal /replacement
must be destroyed by removal of any fuse & fuse carrier and disposed
of immediately, as a plug with bared wires is hazardous if a engaged in
live socket. Any re-wiring must be carried out in accordance with the
information detailed on this label.

Over Voltage Protection Setup
Background
Over Voltage Protection (OVP) protects T3PS36006
and DUT from excessive output Voltage. The user
sets the maximum output voltage limit before
operation. When the output voltage exceeds this
limit, the indicator shows the over voltage status
and the output is shut off immediately.
OVP setup
1. Slide the rear panel switch to
the “O.V.P. SET” position.
