Safety Warning
High voltage power supplies present a serious risk of personal injury if not used in accordance with design and/or use specifications, if used in applications on products for which they are not intended or designed, or if they are used by untrained or unqualified personnel.
For more information, please refer to the EMCO Safety Warning and Disclaimer located at: http://www.emcohighvoltage.com/pdfs/Safety-Warning-Concern-HV-3460B.pdf.
General Information
All EMCO units require a low voltage DC input for power. Typically, this input is specified as positive with respect to ground. If a negative voltage is applied instead of a postive voltage, the EMCO unit may be damaged.
