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: Verify that all safety precautions are taken and note the instrument’s external markings described under “Safety Symbols.”
3. Ground the Instrument: This is a Safety Class 1 instrument with a protective earth terminal. To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical ground through a grounded power cable.
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: Operating personnel should not remove instrument covers except as instructed for installing or removing electronic load modules. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made only by qualified service personnel. Always disconnect power, discharge circuits, and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
6. Do Not Service or Adjust Alone: Internal service or adjustments should not be attempted unless another person capable of rendering first aid resuscitation is present.
Safety Symbols:
– Direct current
– Alternating current
– Both direct and alternating current
– Protective earth (ground) terminal
– Attention (refer to accompanying documents)
Warnings and cautions are indicated to prevent personal injury and equipment damage, respectively.
