WARNING

High Voltage Hazard

When the CRD5490-Z is connected to AC lines, high voltage is present inside

the box. Do not remove the protective cover from the CRD5490-Z when power is

connected.

The evaluation board connects directly to the AC power line and presents a serious risk of

electric shock and can cause serious injury or death. Extreme caution needs to be

exercised while handling this box. Make sure that the power source is off before wiring any

connection. Make sure that all connectors are well connected before the power source is

turned on. Make sure all AC power line wiring is secured to the box and away from contact

before the power source is on.

Refer to additional warnings at the beginning of this document.
