 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY
THIS POWER SUPPLY GENERATES VOLTAGES THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND MAY BE FATAL.
OBSERVE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH THIS EQUIPMENT.

High voltage power supplies must always be grounded.

Do not touch connections unless the equipment is off and the

Capacitance of both the load and power supply is discharged.

Allow five minutes for discharge of internal capacitance of the power supply.

Do not ground yourself or work under wet or damp conditions.

SERVICING SAFETY
.

Maintenance may require removing the instrument cover with the power on.

Servicing should be done by qualified personnel aware of the electrical hazards.

WARNING note in the text call attention to hazards in operation of these units
that could lead to possible injury or death.

CAUTION notes in the text indicate procedures to be followed to avoid possible

damage to equipment.

 IMPORTANTI PRECAUZIONI DI SICUREZZA
SICUREZZA
QUESTO ALIMENTATORE GENERA TENSIONI CHE SONO PERICOLOSE E
POTREBBERO ESSERE MORTALI.
PONI ESTREMA CAUTELA QUANDO OPERI CON QUESO APPARECCHIO.

Gli alimentatori ad alta tensione devono sempre essere collegati ad un impianto di terra.

Non toccare le connessioni a meno che l’apparecchio sia stato spento e la capacità interna
del carico e dell’alimentatore stesso siano scariche.

Attendere cinque minuti per permettere la scarica della capacità interna dell’alimentatore
ad alta tensione.

Non mettere a terra il proprio corpo oppure operare in ambienti bagnati o saturi d’umidità.

SICUREZZA NELLA MANUTENZIONE.

Manutenzione potrebbe essere richiesta, rimuovendo la copertura con apparecchio

acceso.
La manutenzione deve essere svolta da personale qualificato, coscio dei rischi elettrici.

Attenzione alle AVVERTENZE contenute nel manuale, che richiamano all’attenzione ai

rischi quando si opera con tali unità e che potrebbero causare possibili ferite o morte.

Le note di CAUTELA contenute nel manuale, indicano le procedure da seguire per evitare
possibili danni all’apparecchio.

CZE MANUAL 21 118030-001 REV D

 SPELLMAN HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRONICS
WARRANTY
Spellman High Voltage Electronics (“Spellman”) warrants that all power supplies it manufactures will be
free from defects in materials and factory workmanship, and agrees to repair or replace, without charge, any
power supply that under normal use, operating conditions and maintenance reveals during the warranty
period a defect in materials or factory workmanship. The warranty period is twelve (12) months from the
date of shipment of the power supply. With respect to standard SL power supplies (not customized) the
warranty period is thirty-six (36) months from the date of shipment of the power supply.

This warranty does not apply to any power supply that has been:
• Disassembled, altered, tampered, repaired or worked on by persons unauthorized by Spellman;
• subjected to misuse, negligent handling, or accident not caused by the power supply;
• installed, connected, adjusted, or used other than in accordance with the original intended application and/or
instructions furnished by Spellman.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The buyer’s sole remedy for a claimed breach of this warranty, and Spellman’s sole liability is limited, at
Spellman’s discretion, to a refund of the purchase price or the repair or replacement of the power supply at
Spellman’s cost. The buyer will be responsible for shipping charges to and from Spellman’s plant. The
buyer will not be entitled to make claim for, or recover, any anticipatory profits, or incidental, special or
consequential damages resulting from, or in any way relating to, an alleged breach of this warranty.

No modification, amendment, supplement, addition, or other variation of this warranty will be binding unless
it is set forth in a written instrument signed by an authorized officer of Spellman.

Factory Service Procedures

For an authorization to ship contact Spellman’s Customer Service Department. Please state the model and
serial numbers, which are on the plate on the rear panel of the power supply and the reason for return. A
Return Material Authorization Code Number (RMA number) is needed from Spellman for all returns. The
RMA number should be marked clearly on the outside of the shipping container. Packages received without
an RMA Number may delay return of the product. The buyer shall pay shipping costs to and from Spellman.
Customer Service will provide the Standard Cost for out-of-warranty repairs. A purchase order for this
amount is requested upon issuance of the RMA Number (in-warranty returns must also be accompanied by
a “zero-value” purchase order). A more detailed estimate may be made when the power supply is received
at Spellman. In the event that the cost of the actual repair exceeds the estimate, Spellman will contact the
customer to authorize the repair.

Factory Service Warranty

Spellman will warrant for three (3) months or balance of product warranty, whichever is longer, the repaired
assembly/part/unit. If the same problem shall occur within this warranty period Spellman shall undertake all
the work to rectify the problem with no charge and/or cost to the buyer. Should the cause of the problem be
proven to have a source different from the one that has caused the previous problem and/or negligence of
the buyer, Spellman will be entitled to be paid for the repair.
