1. Safety
• High leakage current:
The combination of multiple tiles in an installation results in increased levels of leakage current. In order to avoid risk of electric
shock due to high leakage current, proper grounding of the installation is required.
• Risk of personnel injury:
Secure all tiles in the rack. As a supplementary safeguard, and in order to protect against the risk of personnel injury, each tile
should be attached to the rack by a safety cable.
• Flammable materials:
Keep flammable materials away from the installation (such as curtains). A lot of energy is transferred into heat. The installation
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation
must be provided.
• Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire:
Power cables and connectors have been designed with special properties for outdoor use, and resistance against ingress of
water. Use only the factory recommended power cables and connectors. Using other cables and connectors may result in risk
of electric shock and risk of fire.
To protect against risk of fire by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 3 SLite TILES in one column may be connected
electrical in parallel. Each source cable supplying a column of MAXIMUM 3 SLite TILES should be protected by a circuit breaker
or fuses rated 16 A / 250 V.
• Disconnect device:
When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are not accessible, the socket outlets supplying the rack shall be installed near
the equipment and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed
wiring.
• This equipment MUST be earthed:
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be properly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the
grounding type plug will expose you to the risk of electric shock.
• Power system:
It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding
conductor) in order to avoid large ground currents loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical
installation should be protected by an appropriate rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers and Ground Fault Current Inter-
rupters. The installation shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe special attention should be
given to EN 60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany VDE 0100 should be adhered to.
• Mains cords:
The power cords delivered with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the power cords
are damaged, replace only with new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.
• Data cables:
The data cables provided with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the data cables
are damaged, replace only with new ones. Never try to repair a data cable. Per requirements of the National Electrical Code®
in the USA , the length of a data cable must not exceed 42 m (140 feet) . Avoid exposure of data cables to accidental contact
with lightning or power conductors.
