1. Safety instructions
The High Voltage Power Supply 6 kV conforms
to all safety regulations for electrical measuring,
control, monitoring and laboratory equipment, as
specified under DIN EN 61010, Section 1, and
the equipment has been designed to meet pro-
tection class I. It is intended for operation in a
dry environment, suitable for the operation of
electrical equipment and systems.
Safe operation of the equipment is guaranteed,
provided it is used correctly. However, there is
no guarantee of safety if the equipment is used
in an improper or careless manner.
If it may be assumed for any reason that non-
hazardous operation will not be possible (e.g.
visible damage), the equipment should be
switched off immediately and secured against
any unintended use.
In schools and other educational institutions, the
operation of the power supply unit must be su-
pervised by qualified personnel.
• Before using the power supply unit for the
first time, confirm that the specifications
printed on the rear side of the housing are
compatible with the local mains voltage.
• Before using the power supply unit, check
the housing and the mains lead for any
damage. In the event of any malfunc-
tion/operational defect or visible damage,
switch off the unit immediately and secure it
against unintended use.
• Do not connect capacitors with a ca-
pacitance > 3.5 nF, as according to EN
61010-1 a danger of hazardous contact ex-
ists for capacitances above 4.5 nF (ap-
proximately 1 nF already exists in the power
supply output).
• Do not connect another high voltage
(more than 500 V DC) between any of the
outputs and chassis/ground/earth!
