Safety & Warnings
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of the BK PRECISION MDL Series Programmable DC Electronic Load:
1. Environmental Conditions: The instrument is intended for indoor use in pollution degree 2 environments, with a maximum relative humidity of 95% and altitudes up to 2000 meters.
2. Before Applying Power: Ensure all safety precautions are taken and verify the instrument’s external markings under “Safety Symbols.”
3. Ground the Instrument: As a Safety Class 1 instrument, it must be connected to an electrical ground to minimize shock hazard. Use a grounded power cable and ensure the ground wire is firmly connected to an electrical ground at the power outlet. Interruptions or disconnections of the protective earth terminal can cause a shock hazard.
4. Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere: Avoid operating the instrument in the presence of fumes or flammable gases.
5. Keep Away from Live Circuits: Do not remove instrument covers except as instructed for installing or removing electronic load modules. Component replacement and internal adjustments should only be done by qualified service personnel. Always disconnect power, discharge circuits, and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
6. Do Not Service or Adjust Alone: Ensure another person capable of rendering first aid is present during internal service or adjustments.
Safety Symbols include:
– Direct current
– Alternating current
– Both direct and alternating current
– Protective earth (ground) terminal
– Attention (refer to accompanying documents)
Warnings and cautions are provided to denote hazards that could result in personal injury or damage to the product if not correctly adhered to.
