label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local
power company.
■
Avoid circuit overloads. Before connecting equipment to a circuit, know the power
supply’s limit and never exceed it. Always review the electrical specifications of a
circuit to ensure that you are not creating a dangerous condition or that one doesn’t
already exist. Circuit overloads can cause a fire and destroy equipment.
■
The device is designed for IT power distribution systems with 230V phase-to-phase
voltage.
■
To prevent damage to your installation, it is important that all devices are properly
grounded.
■
The device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Always follow your local/national wiring codes.
■
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

Make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15
Amperes.
■
To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or un-interruptible power
supply (UPS).
