Electrical Protective Measures EduTrainer – Operating Instructions
Malfunctions which may impair safety must be eliminated immediately!
•
Risk of death in case of interrupted protective earth conductor!
– The protective conductor (yellow-green) must not be interrupted, either inside or outside
of the device.
–
The insulation of the protective conductor must never be damaged or removed.
•
National regulations for operating electrical systems and equipment must be observed in commercial
facilities.
•
The operation of power supply units must be responsibly monitored by trained personnel in schools and
training facilities.
•
Caution!
Capacitors inside the device may still be charged even after being disconnected from all sources of
voltage.
•
When replacing fuses, use specified fuses only with the correct current ratings and tripping
characteristics.
•
Never switch your power supply unit on immediately after moving it from a cold room to a warm room.
The condensate which occurs as a result may destroy your device under unfavorable conditions. Do not
switch the device on until it has reached room temperature.
•
Risk of death from connecting power supply units in series!
Contact voltages of greater than 25 V AC or 60 V DC are not permissible.
Coming into contact with voltages of greater than 50 V AC or 120 V DC may be fatal.
–
Do not connect voltage sources in series.
•
Ventilation slots in power supply units must not be covered! The devices must be placed on hard, flame-
resistant surfaces in such a way that air can flow into them unhindered. The devices are cooled primarily
by convection.
•
When working on live circuits, use only suitable tools.
•
Risk of death due to electric shock!
Protect the outputs of the power supply units (output sockets/terminals) and cables connected to them
from direct contact.
–
Only use cables with adequate insulation and electric strength.
–
Use safety sockets with fully shrouded contact points.
