[Discharging of the ST-068 board’s charging capacitor
(C510)]
(C510)]
The charging capacitor (C510) of the ST-068 board is charged up
to the maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
battery is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining
voltage must be discharged as described below.
