Installation
Before installing and operating this equipment, make sure it is correctly
connected to the protective earth conductor of the mains voltage supply socket
outlet through each mains lead.
Ideally a cool area is preferred, away from power distribution equipment or other
potential sources of interference.
Do not install the equipment in places of poor ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive heat, dust or
mechanical vibration. Allow for adequate venti lation around the equipment,
making sure that its fans and vents are not obstructed. Whenever possible, keep
the equipment out of direct sunlight.
Mount in rack only.
Power
The internal power supplies are of the switch mode type that automatically
senses the incoming mains voltage and will work where the nominal voltage is in
the range 100VAC to 240VAC.
The correct leads for connection in the area to which the unit was shipped are
supplied with the unit. The equipment should only be plugged into the mains
outlets using the supplied leads.
Make sure the plug fitted on the supplied mains cable is securely fitted to the
mains IEC connector on the unit. When fitting or removing a plug, always hold
the plug itself and never use the cable, as this may damage it. Never insert or
remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Handling the equipment
When lifting or moving the equipment, always take its size and weight into
consideration.
Completely isolate the equipment electrically and disconnect all cables from the
equipment before moving it.
Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the equipment, for
example, vents.
Electric fields
In accordance with Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Regulations, “… changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”
Should this product be used in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude
modulated by an audio frequency signal (20 Hz to 20 kHz), the signal to noise
ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60 dB at a frequency corresponding
to the modulation signal may be experienced under extreme conditions
(3 V/m, 90% modulation).
