Conventions Used in this Manual

Certain  conventions  are  used  in  this  manual  to  convey
specific types of information. General technical material,
support  data,  and  safety  information  are  presented  in
narrative  form. The  following  styles  are  used  for  notes,
cautions, and warnings.

NOTES

Notes  contain  information  that  augments  or  clarifies
an  operating  step.  Notes  do  not  normally  contain
actions.  They  follow  the  procedural  steps  to  which
they refer.

Cautions

Cautions alert the technician to special conditions that
could injure personnel, damage equipment, or reduce
a component’s mechanical integrity. Cautions are also
used to alert the technician to unsafe practices or the
need  for  special  protective  equipment  or  specific
materials.  In  this  manual,  a  caution  box  indicates  a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury.

WARNINGS

Warnings  identify  potentially  dangerous  situations  or
serious hazards. In this manual, a warning indicates an
imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death.

Safety Messages

Follow all standard industry procedures for servicing elec-
trical  equipment  when  working  with  or  around  high
voltage. Always shut off the power supply before touching
any components.

Low Voltage Directive

For use in Installation Category II, Pollution Degree 2. If
equipment  is  used  in  a  manner  not  specified  by  the
 manufacturer, protection provided by the equipment may
