Juggler Internal Maintenance

Internal maintenance must only be undertaken by suitable qualified service personnel.

Warning

: Do not operate Juggler units with any covers removed as the air flow through the

unit may be compromised leading to overheating.

Any alterations to the product’s specification, e.g. additional/alternative components, may invalidate
the warranty or impact the unit’s performance. Additionally, such changes or modifications could
cause equipment no longer to comply with the relevant EMC regulations, and void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment. If in doubt, please contact your supplier.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

When handling electronic assemblies, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) causing
damage. Precautions should include the wearing of an ESD protective wrist strap and using antistatic
bags for electronic assemblies when not installed in any equipment.
