injury or malfunction.
When the product fails or malfunction,
contact the nearest Toshiba office or
agent.
Mandatory
Before using, check that the
power capacity, frequency,
voltage, and regulation comply
with the device specifications.
If not, it may cause damage of the
device, or fire due to overheat, as well
as not obtaining the original
performance of the device.
Prohibited
When the ambient or internal
temperature of the device rises
abnormally or failure occurs in the
device, stop using the device, turn off
the power, and
Contact the nearest
Toshiba office or agent.
Using it as it is may cause fire due to
overheat.
No touch
Do not touch the terminals of the
module and unit during energization.
It may cause an electric shock.
The power supply module is for the nv
series only. Do not use it alone for any
other purposes.
CAUTION
Mandatory
When performing program changes
during operation, forced output, run,
or halt operations, ensure safety.
Wrong operations or failure to ensure
safety may cause an accident or damage
to the machine.
Mandatory
When there is any smoke or strange
odor, turn off the power.

6. Checking the Warning Label on the Main Body
Check that warning label is attached on the main body.
If the label is missing or hard to read due to stain, contact the nearest Toshiba office or agent.
[Warning symbols on the nv series type2 light main body]
This symbol is a warning symbol for dangerous parts. It is attached on places where there is
a risk of an electric shock or a risk of damage to the main body due to wrong wiring.
Note the following where this symbol is present.
●Touching the power input terminal of the power supply module while the power is on causes an
electric shock and is very dangerous.
Do not touch the power input terminal.
●For safety, turn off the power before wiring or performing maintenance and inspection.
●Wire the power input terminal correctly, and avoid applying any voltage exceeding the specified
voltage range. It may cause failure or damage.
●Perform connector connection of the nV-Tool port after turning off the power of the nV-Tool (such
as the PC).
Turn on the power of the nV-Tool after connection.
Be careful not to short-circuit the connector pins with the connector cover.
[Warning stickers]
The warning sticker shown in the left figure is provided
for the power supply of the nv series type2 light
controller. Remove the sticker from the mount, and
attach it on the main body of the nv series type2 light, or
on a location near the nv series type2 light where it can
be seen easily.
There are stickers in both Japanese and English. Use
the one that suits your need.
When wiring, remove the sticker mount.
If the sticker is damaged, contact your distributor.
