5 Safety
and
Precautions
Observe all safety information both on the product and in
this section.
Environmental
Always ensure adequate ventilation is provided for the
equipment by fitting 1U ventilation panels above and
below the equipment and do not obstruct ventilation
holes.
The temperature and humidity ranges shown in the
specifications for this product must not be exceeded.
This equipment must not be installed in an area that is
subject to a corrosive atmosphere, excessive moisture
or may allow water or other liquids to come into contact
with the unit or its external connections. Objects filled
with liquids such as vases should not be placed upon it.
Electrical Safety
!
!
Ensure power supply cabling is adequately
rated for the unit’s operating current and
protected, in case of short circuit, by a
correctly rated fuse or circuit breaker. This
is particularly important for supply feeds
from the 24 V backup batteries which can
deliver short circuit currents of several
hundred amps.
!
!
Always replace blown fuses with the
correct type and rating.
!
!
External 24 V DC batteries connected to
this unit can deliver very high currents that
could cause fire or burns. Take care to
avoid short circuits of the battery supply by
tools or jewellery.
ESD Precautions
This product contains static-sensitive devices. Observe
ESD precautions when handling this product with the lid
removed.
EMC
In the close proximity of some radio frequency
transmitters, the signal to noise ratio of this product may
be reduced. If this occurs, re-location of the equipment
or the signal cables is recommended.
Laser
!
!
This is equipment is a Class 1 Laser/LED
product with Network Card and fibre
module fitted.
Don't stare at the Laser/LED beam.
Optical Fibre Connectors
Optical fibre connectors are precision-made components
and must be handled accordingly.
Do not expose optical fibre connectors to impact as
damages to the surface of optical connectors may cause
higher attenuation impairing the transmission quality.
Always fit optical fibre connectors with protective caps to
guard them against mechanical damage and
contamination. Therefore, the protective caps should
only be removed prior to installation.
Once the protective caps have been removed, check the
surfaces of the optical fibre connectors to ensure that
they are clean, and clean them if necessary.
Clean the optical fibre connectors using a special optical
fibre cleaning tool or a clean lint-free cellulose cloth or
chamois leather. Isopropyl alcohol (99%) can be used
for cleaning.
