service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific
WARNINGS given elsewhere in this manual will violate safety standards of design,

manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Chroma assumes no liability for the

customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

BEFORE APPL YING POWER

Verify that the power is set to match the rated input of this power supply.

PROTECTIVE GROUNDING

Make sure to connect the protective grounding to prevent an electric

shock before turning on the power.

NECESSITY OF PROTECTIVE GROUNDING

Never cut off the internal or external protective grounding wire, or
disconnect the wiring of protective grounding terminal. Doing so will
cause a potential shock hazard that may bring injury to a person.

WARNING

FUSES

Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Do not use repaired
fuses or short-circuited fuse holders. To do so could cause a shock or
fire hazard.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. The instrument should be used in an environment of good
ventilation.

DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OF THE INSTRUMENT

Operating personnel must not remove the cover of the instrument.
Component replacement and internal adjustment can be done only by
qualified service personnel.

1. Lethal voltage. The output may up to 6000V voltage.

2. Touching the output terminal on the front or rear panel or connecting
circuit to output when the power is on may result in death.

vi

Safety Symbols

DANGER – High voltage.

Explanation: To avoid injury, death of personnel, or damage to

the instrument, the operator must refer to an explanation in the

instruction manual.

High temperature: This symbol indicates the temperature is now

higher than the acceptable range of human. Do not touch it to

avoid any personal injury.

Protective grounding terminal: To protect against electrical

shock in case of a fault. This symbol indicates that the terminal

must be connected to ground before operation of equipment.

The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a

procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or

WARNING

CAUTION

adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed

beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.

The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It may result in personal

injury or death if not noticed timely. It calls attention to

procedures, practices and conditions.

The Notice sign denotes important information in procedures,

applications or the areas that require special attention. Be sure
to read it carefully.

Hazard Operations

This scanning box is able to output high voltage via remote control. For safety precaution, it
is necessary to follow the guidelines listed below when performing the control remotely.

y Do not output any unexpected high voltage as it may cause danger.
y Operators and other personnel are not allowed to touch the UUT, test cable and the

probe terminal when there is high voltage output.

y The remote control is usually conducted using the high voltage bar. However, it can

also use other circuit for control without using the high voltage bar. As the bar is the
switch for high voltage output, it is necessary to keep the connected control cable away
from the high voltage bar and the test cable to avoid causing any danger.

WARNING

Do not tie up the high voltage cable with RS232, Handler and GPIB
control cables or other low voltage side wires. If so, it could cause the
product or PC to be down or damaged.

ix

Storage, Freight & Maintenance

Storage

When not in use, please pack the device properly and store in a suitable environment.

Freight

Please pack the device carefully before moving it. If any of the original packing material is
missing, please use suitable alternative material and mark it “fragile” and “keep away from
water” to avoid damaging the product.

This product is a piece of precision test equipment, so please do not drop or hit it.

Maintenance

In case of any malfunction or abnormality, please refer to the manual, or contact our local
distributor for prompt service. Do not touch any parts inside the instrument to avoid any
danger to yourself or damage to the product.
