Ground the product This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power module power cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle before connecting to the product input or output terminals. A protec- tive ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation. Danger arising from loss of ground If the protective connection to ground is lost, all accessible conductive parts (in- cluding knobs and controls that may appear to be insulated) can render an elec- tric shock. Use the proper fuse Use only the fuse of correct type, voltage rating, and current rating, as specified in the parts list for the product. Refer fuse replacement to qualified personnel. Do Not operate.
