³
A readily accessible disconnect device must be installed on the
mains (AC or DC circuits). The power cord of the AC/DC power
adapter can be considered the disconnect device to the main
power.
³
If you intend to connect your OTH-7000 to AC power, use only
the listed and certified AC/DC power adapter provided by EXFO
with your unit. It provides reinforced insulation between
primary and secondary, and is suitably rated for the country
where the unit is sold.
³
DO NOT connect the unit interfaces metallically to OSP (Outside
Plant) wiring. The unit interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building surfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described
in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to
OSP wiring.
³
Use only the certified power cord that is suitably rated for the
country where the unit is used.
³
Replacing detachable MAINS supply cords by inadequately
RATED cords may result in overheating of the cord and create a
risk of fire.
C
AUTION
