Throughout this manual, various types of notices are provided to alert you to possible 
injury to people or damage to equipment under specific circumstances. These will help 
you: 

• 

Identify a hazard 

• 

Avoid the hazard 

•

These 

include

 “Attention” and “Important” notices; please note the following examples. 

 Warning 

Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal 
injury or death, property damage or economic loss. 

 

 Warning 

Identifies information that is especially important for successful application and 
understanding of the product. 

National Electric Code 

 Warning 

Do not install or perform maintenance on the QCPort system while the system is 
energized. Death or severe personal injury, as well as damage to other equipment, 
can result from contact with energized equipment.  Verify that no voltage is present 
before proceeding with installation or maintenance. 

Much of the information provided in this manual is representative of the capability of a 
QCPort system and its associated components. The National Electric Code (NEC), in the 
United States, and the Canadian Electric Code (CE Code), in Canada, places limitations 
on configurations and the maximum allowable power/current that can be provided. 

The instructions and examples in this manual are based on Class 2 power supplies. 

 Warning 

Be sure that all national and local codes are thoroughly researched and adhered to 
during the planning and installation of your QCPort system.
