IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Hazardous voltages are present on the DCM Evaluation Board under power.
PERSONAL CONTACT WITH LINE VOLTAGE MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DISABILITY, OR
DEATH. IMPROPER OR UNSAFE HANDLING OF THIS BOARD MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
Read the precautions below entirely BEFORE using the DCM Evaluation Board. Do not operate the

The list below is not comprehensive and is not a substitute for common sense and
good practice.
ꢀnDuring operation, the power devices and surrounding structures can be operated
safely at high temperatures.
ꢀnRemove power and use caution when connecting and disconnecting test probes
and interface lines to avoid inadvertent short circuits and contact with hot surfaces.
ꢀnNever use a jumper in place of the fuse.
ꢀnWhen testing electronic products always use approved safety glasses. Follow good
laboratory practice and procedures.
ꢀnAvoid creating ground loops when making measurements of the isolated input
or output voltage.
ꢀnCare should be taken to protect the user from accidental contact when
under power.
ꢀnCare should be taken to avoid reversing polarities if connecting to the opposite
(solder) side of the board.
ꢀnThe product evaluation boards described in this document are designed for
general laboratory evaluation, and are not suitable for installation in
end user equipment.
