Safety Precautions and Installation Guidelines
To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation, please note the following installation
guidelines:
•
Do not use CATx-devices to link between buildings – please use fiber devices.
•
Only use in dry, indoor environments.
•
If the building has 3-phase AC power, try to ensure that equipment connected to the
Local and Remote units is on the same phase.
•
Try not to route a CATx link cable alongside power cables.
•
Ensure that the system connected to the Local unit is connected to power ground.
•
Ensure that the monitor connected to the Remote unit is connected to power ground and
does not use an isolated power supply.
•
The Remote unit, Local unit and any power supplies can get warm. Do not locate them
in an enclosed space without any airflow.
•
Do not place a power supply directly on top of a unit.
•
Do not obstruct a unit’s ventilation holes.
To safeguard against personal injury and avoid possible
damage to equipment or property, please observe the
following:
•
Only use power supplies originally supplied with the
product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not
attempt to dismantle or repair any power supply. Do not
use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a
damaged case.
•
Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each
case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained
from the outlet socket through to the power supply’s AC
power input.
•
Do not attempt to modify or repair this product, or make
a connection from the CATx link interface (RJ45) or the
Fiber link interface (SC-Duplex) to any other products,
especially telecommunications or network equipment.
