WARNING! THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED

Any interruption of the mains earth conductor inside or outside the instrument will make the
instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. The protective action must not be
negated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor.

Mounting

This instrument is suitable both for bench use and rack mounting. It is delivered with feet for
bench mounting. The front feet include a tilt mechanism for optimal panel angle.
A rack kit for mounting XDL Series power supplies is available from the Manufacturers or their
overseas agents. The rack will accommodate 1, 2 or 3 single units or a triple and single unit; a
blanking piece is also available for unused positions in the rack.

Ventilation

The power supply is cooled by an intelligent multi-speed fan which vents at the rear. Take care
not to restrict the air inlets at the side panels or the exit at the rear. In rack-mounted situations
allow adequate space around the instrument and/or use a fan tray for forced cooling.
